Chill out

Okay so I'm at work today and I'm walking next to this rail that's been put up by one of our assembly lines and I touch it and accidently lean against it as I walk by. I wonder when it went up and got painted (as I hadn't been in that area in a couple days).

That's when I discover the paint is still wet. Apparently the answer to my question was "just now." :p

As I'm trying to stop touching the wet paint, the kid who painted it (and was over further stirring some other paint) gets all attitudinal and says, in a nasty tone, "Hey! The wet paint sign is right there!"

And I'm like, buddy!
1) The wet paint sign is nowhere near close enough to the wet paint if I've been hanging around this area for 5 minutes and didn't notice it. In fact, the wet paint sign is in a place where nowhere one would really look even if they were just wandering around casually. So it's useless.
2) It's MY clothes that are painty now - and you can't even see the spot where I hit the rail
3) You're some random summer student. You have no idea who I might be in the organization. Do you really think it's smart to get snarky and rude with me? This isn't your daddy's random construction site. Plus, you're 12.

Chill the fuck out.

Unfortunately I couldn't say any of that as I was touring a guest around. But I mean, really. You're painting. You're STILL painting actually. You can touch it up. It's hardly a life-threatening issue. Get over yourself.
