“You stupid lazy fool, I told you to mop up this mess, you didn’t, a**hole!!!!! How many times do I have to tell you? You can’t do anything right! Well? Get moving you worthless worker!

Girlfriend breaking up with boyfriend

Media Examples:
"The average American judge, as everyone knows, is a mere rabbinical automation, with no more give and take in his mind than you will find in the mind of a terrier watching a rathole."
