Usually a clearly definable moment, when coping mechanisms devolve into chaos,
fire and emotion, and your inner
id is unleashed on the perpetrator.
Commonly used in
Australia, especially around idiots.
Dog walker to house guest: I'm
sorry, I didn't realise the the afternoon walk was cancelled? Funny, because I came all this way? No
biggie. Have a great day and I’m around if you need me.
Dog walker to Dog owner. If you ever cancel the walk at the last minute again I am dropping you as a client. Do you know how many
dogs I need to walk each day? How many you have now inconvenienced? Do you think I need to put up with this? You need to take a long hard look at yourself.
House Guest to Dog owner: That dog walker seemed nice. He didn't seem to mind about the last minute cancellation.
Dog owner to house guest: Yeah, nah, he
cracked the shits.
