Puss-punching for cane-hoarding is illegal (except, I believe, in the state of Florida). But if you'd asked him very, very nicely, he might have shown you his tan line.
So you went with the whole "if I can't have them, neither can you" tantrum? That's something to be proud of adult human! The guy was probably buying those candy canes for someone who is experiencing hard luck this year.
Let me guess, your nephews got everything they wanted from Santa except a candy cane for them to eat while playing their new PS4. Meanwhile, old grabby was buying them for someone who only gets to play the PS4 at the store while mom returns their xmas gifts so they have enough mac and cheese for the week. Your holiday spirit is uncanny, un-candy.
Also, I'm going to come over to your house and hide everything that we don't have in common, because you got before I did.
This post has everything! A pissy stranger judging a grabby stranger as lonely and unloved, 'that's cool' when pissy stranger was clearly losing said cool, and taking candy canes then hiding them like Easter eggs so no one could have them. All of which was followed by fantasies of then going to the parking lot and assaulting them!! Just...wow.
