When I was 15 years old, I ran away from home because I was pissed off at my parents for a reason I cant remember.

I didnt have much money, so I decided to hop onto the skytrain(public transport train in British Columbia) and ride it as far as it would go.

I'm about 6'7'' so even when I'm just trying to be friendly (i.e. not farting on a stanger kid's head) and meeting a family member's or friend's kid for the first time, I've noticed they get very 'hide between their mother's legs' intimidated on sight if I'm not sitting down.

So it's not hard for me to silence/intimidate a child, especially when I'm trying to.

I spent over 45 minutes with this guy (we'll call him Mr. Smith) trying to get his TV set connected to the digital box properly so he could receive a picture.

No luck. He was getting clearly frustrated by the whole ordeal and started blaming me for not being able to do my job properly, how I was useless, etc.
