Businessman with Napoleon Complex Alert - Sighted : Jacksonville, FL

Can someone explain to me why exactly you feel the need to make a scene in a hotel lobby regarding a hotel reservation? Apparently there are some businessmen in the world that are not true businessmen or they would not act like complete "schmucks". Quite frankly, in the incident I just mentioned, there really nothing that could be done at this point of the night. When you get in to town at ~11pm and are not intelligent or organized enough to call ahead and make arrangements the way you want, you are going to run in to these issues. So why treat another human being like dirt just because you have been travelling? Just because YOU decided to change hotels for tonight and realized that the hotel you originally picked has charged your room already does not give you the right to throw a damn hissy fit in the lobby. Oh - and yes - as the title mentions - he had a major case of Napoleonic complex. Little short man with a large amount of self-centeredness in his belly to make himself feel important and berade another person. He is lucky that the guy behind the desk was able (barely) to keep his cool or he would have flattened the lil short man.

Let me just say this though... just because you are short does not mean I think you act like this. Not all short people are jerks and asses. But, no matter your stature, if you get in to a situation like this, be a man and take your poor planning like a man and do what you need to do, when you can do it.

And - to the little man in my hotel - if you are still feeling all mad and pissy - there is Midol in the gift shop next to the aspirin i picked up while watching you act like a total wanker.
