No, if anything would have been better, YOU'd have dropped the bags and just left the store.  And spare me the "yeah, because I'm sane and he's got a screw loose" argument.  You haven't walked a mall mile in his shoes.  Neither one of us have any idea what drove the man to do it, but I have sympathy for a guy that obviously has an inconsiderate partner.

 

I also have sympathy for the girl, because she's gonna have to live with this the rest of her life.  But maybe she could, y'know, learn something as she moves on?  Or perhaps everyone should just tell her she's OK, it was ALLLLLL him.
