I'm proud that you knew to contact the ombudsman. I think cities and states just kind of do whatever they want with zero concern for the rights of their citizens. A new generation is more aware.
It was actually my boyfriend that suggested it. i was just going to let it go because I'm a push over, but he convinced me to with the argument that if the lady was talking to me like she did, she was doing it to other people, too. I would have had no idea who to contact without him though

You should write an apology letter, but make it sound like:

"I'm sorry you were having a bad day and treated your customers so poorly. I'm sorry you have to sleep with your boss in order to provide for yourself. I hope you can make better choices in the future."


I mean, it's technically an apology letter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would not include that second part (assuming you write the snarky apology) as it could be considered liable, unless you have proof to provide in court.

OMG that is so funny. I already suggested addressing one to a very particular title yesterday, my poor husband just said he is now married to the town crazy lady. I don't think I've truly earned that title yet.

Maybe add, "I'm sorry I called you a bitch, I should have called you a whore".

I went in to pay the water bill, and I was a few days late. It happens often, my mom has cancer and hubby is on a heart transplant list. Anyhow, the woman behind the counter told me we needed to talk and I needed to learn to be more responsible and that I had a husband who should be taking care of his family etc... So I told her she was a bitch and I left. After a few minutes I returned to go ahead and pay. I told the lady that I shouldn't have used that language and that she shouldn't be so cnodescending and rude. That I take care of two chronically ill people and drive 6 hour round trips 3 times a week to take my mother to chemo and I do my best, responsibility isn't the issue, life simply is. She then said that I perhaps should have made better choicees ??????? now see, I had said I was sorry and it could have been done. But this woman had cheated with our city administrator who left his wife for her, so me being me I said something very vulgar along the lines of "well, we can't all hit the *(&^suckers lottery" I put the money on the counter and left. Then the police came to my house and told me that I needed to write a written apology or be banned from city hall. Poor kid blushed when he repeated what I said, but I told him I would not be writing any letter and that she was everything I said and more.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with her rudeness on top of everything else. You must live in a smaller town, like me. I grew up somewhere much larger where the police wouldn't have given a spat like that the time of day. Unless you threatened to kill her and she filed for a restraining order, they'd tell her to suck it up. But my current town, I'd be infamous. I'd consider that a compliment if I had half of your wit and sass! :hug2:

A town of 4k, nothing happens here. I came here from Houston, the police would have laughed at them.

I was totally shocked, never had anyone act like that. I looked it up and that is why I contacted the ACLU, I already apologized.She spoke to me like I was 2, her tone was just so snooty. I don't feel I owe an apology more than she does. And I don't feel I'm a permanent threat to anyone. I don't go around town blurting obscenities usually,lol.
should have told her that if she's so fucking great at life why is she a fucking grown ass person taking money like 16yr old working their first job at McDonlds?
that's just way beyond anything that's acceptable...the only words out of her fat mouth should be "here's your change" and "thank you"....

That is total bullshit, and she better be glad she did not get someone like me, as I would have given her the BITCH slap from HELL, but good you could control yourself in that situation, but don't ever let anyone walk over you no matter who they are, as I tell people in power "You ain't my God"
