And like I replied to Hitmen, he succeeded in wasting the time of a civil servant and the people standing behind him. Woo.
He didnt waste the time of the civil servant because thats their job. The time of the other people waiting, yeah. But that just illustrates to the other customers how crazy taxes are
It's not their job for putting up with assholes. If somebody came into my store when I used to work with cash, and brought in a significant amount of change, it pissed me off. It would make me angry, and ruin my day, and their "protest" wouldn't do a thing. It's not their job to put up with stupid things.
I'm sure the other "customers" (funny word) who are paying their taxes know how crazy taxes are.
Whether or not the tax payer was trying to be an asshole in his attempt at protesting, the person on the other end of the counter is still being paid to do their job. I do agree that it's not one's job to put up with stupid things, but in an isolated incident like this, does it really matter? If you had to do it on a day-to-day basis, then it'd definitely be worth making a fuss over.
Besides, the way you feel is a choice made by you, especially if it's something that you allow to get under your skin when it really doesn't have to be that way at all.
Personally, I think his "protest" would've been more effective had he included others in on it, but either way, it's still going to be money lost for the parties on both ends.
