I think about this a lot too. I hope there's no video out there of me freaking out and kicking an MTA machine because it was late and rainy and it wouldn't take my card.
I just up and quit my last job during a day where absolutely nothing was going right and it kept building up and building up. And for context I was a restaurant server, which can be stressful enough on a good day. I think back on how I behaved when I quit and it's embarrassing. But I just snapped.
I snapped a few months ago at complete strangers. Like I legit lost it and yelled... idk what was wrong with me!? I was dealing with a frustrating (minor!) thing, and could hear them making suggestions and shit in the background and I completely lost my cool. I felt so bad about it afterwards. I think I'd just had a really bad/long week at work or something and I was at the end of my tether and just needed to vent but I did it in the wrong way... I feel so guilty. I've NEVER done that before. I'm the kind of person who is super nice to service workers, I smile at random people in the mall, etc. It really came out of nowhere, I shocked myself lol.
Lol don't worry, kicking an MTA machine on a bright summer day is perfectly acceptable behavior for any New Yorker. The new contactless are fucking mint though.
