The thing is, I'm not usually like that. I like to think that I'm the type of person who would've offered to buy her another cup of coffee. I guess this incident has just made me realize that I need to try a little harder to be that person.

In the whole scheme of things, this wasn't that big a deal in that I'm sure it happens to lots of people, it's just that I never pictured myself being that rude person that gives us reason to lament the decay of manners.

Most of you are right. I'll likely never see this woman again, but I can use this incident as a catalyst to make a concerted effort to be a little nicer.
