Typical abuser behaviour.
"I only hit you once. Now thank me. THANK ME.
...
Don't make me hit you again!!!"

"th...thank you."

"Thank you, what?"

"thank you...sir?"

"AGAIN!"
"thank you, sir."

"Good peasant. Now go away and don't cause any more trouble."

I used to be a live and let live kind of person, but the last ten years has made me a "kill the evil rich and powerful people" person.
