growl
I'm a very angry woman today. Perhaps not "very", but it's certainly obvious.
At work I said to a coworker, "I have so much venom to spill." I was telling the truth, but I hadn't actually realized it until the words touched my teeth.
In the car I sat looking at traffic and hating everyone who drove by. Jerks. I don't care about you at all. Jerks.
(Why? I don't know.)
I stopped at the car repair place. I chatted with the guy behind the counter and he wished me good luck with my choice, whatever it was. I said, "I just won't make the choice anyway. It doesn't matter."
(Snippy! Unpleasant!)
I got a chicken sandwich at the McDonald's drive through. The woman who handed me my food said, "Thank you. Have a nice day." She didn't smile when she said it. She barely looked at me. She didn't mean that. I told her, very sweetly, to have a nice day, too. I was hoping I would make her embarrassed to not pretend well enough.
I'm am such a pain in the ass today that I'm a pain in my own ass.
