Inside voice vs. outside voice...

[arib]

Client's abusive boyfriend, who's been banned from our program, calls to speak to client, who's sleeping. When informed she's sleeping he goes off like a handful of gelignite, ranting and raving at me. This of course, does not help him in any way, then he lets out with the following gem:

(This being said after several threats towards her, me, and my boss, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt, mind you.)

"I love her to death, and you can't stop me from seeing her."

Now, my inside voice wants to say,

"No, you don't love her to death, you nearly beat her to death, there's a difference, shithead."

Of course, it came out sounding like.

"I'm sorry, M, but you know you're not allowed to come to the residence anymore, if this is a problem, speak to my PD."

Why oh why can't I get some of my co-workers together and clobber this guy? It's the only thing he'll understand, sad to say.

Probably because I'm almost totally incapable of violence. *sigh*

My answer?

"No, I can't stop you. But a couple of New York's finest, with OC, truncheons, and an active disregard for slimeballs who beat up on women will be thrilled to escort you off the property. Promise me you'll resist? Becsuse it's always fun to see big he-men like you beg for mercy when the tables are turned. Have a nice day."
