As the evening proceeded, he expressed his desire to become a manager and fire everyone he would see as incompetent.

When they finally asked for the check, she suggested splitting it, but he started yelling at her. In order to avoid making a scene, she let him pay for it and then let him walk her home.

Thank God she hadn’t heard from him again.
