Or have a pot of hot coffee miss the target and land on him instead. (I
actually saw this happen during my brief stint as a teenage summertime
waiter/musician at a resort dining room).

There are other more subtle ways of getting revenge that sometimes
fall in ones lap; (so to speak). I waited on a couple on Thursday who
seemed nice. They were up here as Oriental rug vendors out of Kentucky
at the Antiques and Garden show. I asked them for two of their cards,
because I wanted to patronize them in case I might want to buy a rug
and I prefer to patronize my patrons whenever possible. I got the
second card because one of our other servers dabbles in the same
business *and* has a lot of contacts.

Their check was $135 and they left me $12 (of course, they just LOVED
everything!) I went back to the other server, showed him the check and
he took the card that I had given him and tore it up. I kept the card
for future reference.

That's really stupid - give a server your business card and then screw
them with a tip. They basically cost themselves a possible sale *and*
a *bunch* of possible sales, all over not leaving at least $8 more.

This happened one other time with a guy who actually owned a winery in
California. After extolling the virtues of his wine and hoping that we
might add his wines later when they became available in this market,
he left me 13% on a $200+ bill. Needless to say, if his wines ever get
sold by my restaurant, I'll *never* suggest them to my guests,
especially considering the number of quality wines that I *can*
suggest. I have to wonder if he has *that* little business sense
whether or not his winery will ever be successful. Since I sell over
$50,000 in wines a year, it's not very bright on his part, because if
I like a wine, I can sell a lot of it (in appropriate situations of
course - I would never suggest a wine just to suggest it - it has to
fit with the budget and the meal).

I was surprised by the content but I thought it was a kind of humour...
I'm always astonished that someones are so stupid to use such
stratagems. :-(

Are you really interested in the translation ?
If no, why do you put me this question ?

Not in a literal translation.

The phrase is a useful idiom describing a certain style of argument
without regard to content, so I wondered if there were an equivalent
idiom in French.

Surely there is...
Middius' way to ridiculously protect himself with his derisive killfile
is grotesque and pathetic so for me Middius is a "half-man".

I don't care if what I write answers or not answers to Middius posts
because Middius doesn't care if I understand what he uses to write.

This is what we call in France a "dialogue de sourds".
In the end it's not a problem because I don't care about Middius'
respect in the same way he doesn't care about mine.

Fair enough. How about your other readers? Repeating his insults back to
him makes for some dull reading.

I must say that you are right on this point.
But what the others readers are looking for on RAO ? ;-)

This is exactly what I mean...
....So stop speaking and commenting about things that you don't know.

Life has been already very cruel with you, I don't need to add anything.
Most of your troubles come from your isolation and paranoia, half-man.

Ambitious approach, nice.
For my part I would qualify it of "recreative writing". ;-)
