[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poor OP only had two hours and 5 minutes between when the Subway closed and when she had to pick up her DS from "training."  No wonder she was so "desparate" [sic].  She has a car, two hours with nothing to do, and can't manage to find her snowflake anything to eat that's not made of meat anywhere in the DMV?  Sorry, this story crumbles upon cross-examination. We are supposed to believe this Subway is the only place with food within a one-hour radius of the OP?  The verdict is in. Reasonable alternatives were available.  OP had no right to act obnoxiously.   OP was wrong.[/quote]  Wrong, so wrong.  Try reading past the first few pages.  [/quote]

You're right, if you read later you realize that the OP miswrote the ending time for the class.  This should say that she had only 1 hour and 5 minutes. Still plenty of time to find something.

It's possible the young women at Subway also had committments that made them feel "desparate".  Maybe one or both were single moms with kids to pick up from daycare providers and get home to bed.  Maybe they were students with big tests the next day. Maybe they were athletes who need their sleep for early a.m. swim training.[/quote] The time was not the only thing that you got wrong.

I'm 11:24 but not 11:07, so I'm not sure what you mean by "the time was not the only thing I got wrong".  Could you please enlighten us as to which other facts are wrong?  Is 7:55 to 9:00 not one hour and five minutes?  Do you/she not have a car?  Was the child not at "training"?  I'm curious.  [/quote] I never suggested that there was nothing within an hour radius. Hell, I live within an hour radius, I said that many times.  So, that is wrong.  I did go on to explain that because I drive 50 minutes to get there  that I was not interested in driving too far away on a dark road in a place I was unfamiliar with, when I knew the subway was there.  Once I exit off the highway I see the subway on the way.  I also explained that in my mind I was right to pursue the issue with the girls at subway (plus I explained that some of a lot of my insistence was out of desperation – typically I probably would not have pursued the issue).   I also went on to admit that I learned through this thread that those girls were more likely than not given the OK from their manager to shut down before closing time.    Oh and “reasonable” is subjective.  For me, leaving subway (which again, I believed should have been open since it was before the posted closing time) was not reasonable.   The only other food place I saw once I got off the highway was Mcds and that was not an option.  
The other thing is, you make it sound like I’m trying to convince people I was right.  I also stated in this thread that I was only responding for clarification purposes, not trying to convince – just give people an idea of where I was coming from and why I did what I did.  Perhaps it would make a difference in people’s responses, perhaps not.  But that is why I was responding and clarifying.  Personally my pet peeve is when people start threads and never come back to answer questions or respond to comments.  I also already stated the reason I started the thread is because I was totally open to the fact that I was wrong and I wanted opinions.
