Sunday Story- Vituperate

Vituperate- to berate with abusive language

Ex: Bob the Builder returned home after a long day at the construction site, threw his bag down on the kitchen table, grabbed a Coors Light from the fridge, and then settled down in front of his TV to watch the game. He was just starting to relax when Wendy began to vituperate him for several incidents on the job site, beginning with him giving Roley the go-ahead to flatten out the tarmac in the alleyway even though a strung-out meth addict lay motionless there beside the dumpster. “You let Roley flatten out that…that man that was just lying there! Bob, do you have no morals!? I would expect this type of behavior from the goddamn machines, but not from you, Bob, a person with an actual brain, or so I thought.” *Bob takes a long swig of his beer, all the while never averting his gaze from the TV screen* “Wendy, I can’t do this right now. WE’RE NOT ABOUT TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW, OKAY!” *Bob fires the TV remote across the room. It whizzes by Wendy’s scalp and clatters into the wall behind her with a massive thud* “Now you listen here, Wendy. You let me run my business because that’s exactly what it is. MY business. It’s not called Wendy the Builder, now is it? So why don’t you just go upstairs, plug in your headphones and go have a nice cry to that Lana Del Rey shit while I sit here and watch the game. Okay, honey? You think you can do that? You think you can give Bob some fucking peace and quiet for a couple minutes? Great, that’s what I thought. And make something edible for dinner for a change, will ya?”
