DUmmy Kennah may not have many posts yet, but he's learning the intricacies of how to construct a bouncy tale, while simultaneously working on his DUmp cred:

Not Sure If I Should Be Proud Or Not, But ...
... earlier today I was in the Post Office sending off an Express Mail package.
I was waiting in line, ensuring I had everything filled out, when I became aware of an idiot at the counter, whom I'll call Mr. Asshole, verbally abusing a postal worker. I guess Mr. Asshole didn't know that the Post Office gets busy in late December, and he wanted faster service.
I was still trying to tune it out, then I heard Mr. Asshole's very snarky, loud comments, "Congratulations. You managed to insult the customer inside of 30 seconds. Very professional."
"You dick", I thought to myself of Mr. Asshole.
The female employee walked away from the counter, and a supervisor took over to conclude the transaction with Mr. Asshole. I thought it was over.
The woman in line behind Mr. Asshole said something about being a little nicer. He snapped at her that this was not her business, and that he wanted to conduct his business there. As she went by to the next available postal worker, she called Mr. Asshole an asshole, and thus I credit her quick thinking in naming Mr. Asshole.
He barked at her some more asking, "Did you just call me an asshole?" Now I'm paying complete attention.
He repeated his question, and the man in front of me said aloud, "Well, let's take a poll by a show of hands." About five or six of us raised our hands, and Mister Asshole flips us off and tells us, "I'll shut your pieholes."
I shot back, "Try it", and stared right at him. He responds, "Oh, tough guy." I repeated the challenge as "Try me" and kept staring at him. He turned back towards the counter and said, somewhat more softly, "OK"--perhaps accepting my challenge.
A brief conversation ensued between me, and two men in front of me in line about decency, civility, and how the tough guys of the world often end up the one's with their backsides kicked. Once or twice we remarked about the Post Office being crowded this time of year, and sarcastically adding, "Who woulda thought?"
As Mr. Asshole leaves, he makes a point of flipping me off specifically, as he walks by on the other side of the counter. I wave and tell him, "Take care, princess."
I got to the counter, with a different postal worker, and got my package mailed. She actually saved me about $5 on Express Mail by using a different envelope. She told me for Washington, Oregon, and sometimes a few other states in the northwest, it's cheaper to use this other envelope. I thanked her for being so nice. While neither she nor any of the other postal workers thanked any of us for taking on Mr. Asshole, I sorta saw this happy glow in their faces that said "Thank you for doing what we could not do."
OK, maybe I pushed too hard and escalated the situation too much, and I accept that criticism in advance. However, there is at times a serious degradation in civility and common decency in public. I find it all too common for the Mr. Assholes of the world to verbally abuse front line workers, mostly because they can get away with it. The workers don't get to push back, and maybe they have the benefit of a supervisor who will step in to deal with difficult people.
When I left the Post Office, I did keep my eyes open in case Mr. Asshole thought he might wait for me outside. I saw neither hide nor hair of him. However, as I thought about it later, I might possibly have recognized him as a semi-regular fellow commuter on the Sounder Train. If he is, it should prove interesting tonight to see if he's still wearing his tough guy britches.

Everyone is tearfully thankful that their steely-eyed, courageous, DUmbass hero was there to put the imaginary miscreant in his place. I think we have to concede that a "happy glow" is an acceptable substitute for the cheers and applause that most DUmp bouncy heroes receive.

1. No criticism from me
I am glad you stood up to that bully. Especially liked the show of hands.
You are so right about the workers not being able to do anything about that kind of abuse.
Labor and Industries in Olympia finally had to get state patrol troopers to be security for their office hours mainly because of the no tax/no id nuts.
They come up behind the person, really close and quietly tell them to calm down. If they have to, they take them out of the building.

2. Behavior like Mr. Asshole's has been tolerated too long
and should not be. You did the right thing and I wish more people were willing/able to "escalate" in the name of common decency.
In the name of common decency, this DUmmy dreamed of calling a total stranger, in a public place, an "asshole" and "princess". I guess in democrat society that passes for decency.

12. It's the Tea Party way : if you aren't getting what you want, yell louder
I haven't heard any Tea Party people yelling. They just got themselves organized and won an election.

6. Good for you. I hope if I'm ever in that kind of situation I have the
guts to do what you did.
"What he did" was to make up a story about a conflict at the post office, describe himself acting like an obnoxious jerk that he thinks is heroic, then post his ludicrous tale on a message board for political lunatics. Yeah, I can see why you hope you could do that.

9. I wonder if he was a teabagger..
I'm looking forward to seeing some of them get their asses kicked,for the New Year.
DUmmy Bonobo, who apparently believes this silly tale, pisses on the hero's cornflakes:

16. You actually have no idea what prompted the man to complain...
You did not hear what preceded him telling the postal worker that he/she had offended him.
You, like many Americans, seem to have an under-developed sense of how professionals should work.
I think you should have kept your own big mouth shut and maybe you should also be thankful that you did not instigate a bigger problem.
Sometimes "Asshole" is in the eyes of the beholder and it is hard to tell who will get their ass kicked when a fight starts.
Sometimes violence escalates out of control and you should be aware that your own actions may have contributed to a situation getting worse.

Oh he's very sure that he should be proud, he just wants to strike an "aw shucks" pose for his audience. Fake humility is so irritating, especially when it's so transparent.
-
He should have saved more than that.
Express goes for around $13-$16.
The next step down from that is Priority, with the flat rate envelope going for $4.95.
DUmmie can't even tell a good lie.

Kennah sounds like a real internet badass. If he and Redstone teamed up they could intimidate the whole world-wide web with just a glance.
-
No description of the guy who was "verbally abusive"? so can we conclude that if the story was true it was either a little guy or old person, someone who isn't a "threat physically" to yell at in public?
BTW, I went to the post office yesterday and it was very pleasant, ran into a soldier and thanked him for his service, than saw a cute little doggie in a car with his head out the window and going nuts because he wanted to be petted and having a pleasant conversation with the dog's owner, and the dog's owner wishing me a Merry Christmas and me wishing her 1.

Let's see. We're missing the So. We do have plenty of verbatim conversations, complete with quotation marks. We have the crowd going along with the story-teller, and the warm afterglow was a nice effect. We also have the obligatory "teabagger" comment from the replies. On the other hand, the tale was way too long, and not particularly riveting. We are missing a conversion.
Does not demonstrate a glimmer of aptitude for potential, even with practice and honing. D

I am becoming addicted to these bouncy tales.
There must be some we can think up here about how we put the libs. down and out with our own bouncy tales.
Such as how we jacked up a coworker that was on light duty due to an abortion.
You know the drill, how a customer in a bank that was overdrawn and complaining it was not their fault and was told off in front of 50 customers.
I would like to hear from return clerks at the stores find a customer returning underware that has been not worn they say and smells funny.

Earlier today, I was walking to the community cafe for some fair trade coffee and a soy bran muffin when I encountered a big brute wearing a "Palin '12" jacket win an "I heart Dick Cheney" button. He was savagely flailing on a juvenile pinniped with his winter footwear, which appeared to be weighted down with a soft, grey, heavy metallic substance. :hammer:
This, of course, made me quite irascent. "Sir", I said, "this behavior is most assuredly unacceptable, and I would urge you to cease injuring this creature".
He turned towards me and said, "Obama is a socialist! I hate brown people!". By this time, a small group of curious onlookershad gathered.
I informed him, "No, President Obama is a corporatist. And socialism is not bad. Don't you believe in firefighters and fairness?"
He replied, "I suppose I do! I never thought of it that way before!"
I handed him some literature about Alan Grayson and Bernie Sanders. I said, "Read this, you will be enlightened!"
He thanked me, and the crowd spontaneously began singing The Internationale: "Debout, les damnés de la terre! Debout, les forçats de la faim! La raison tonne en son cratère! C'est l'éruption de la fin!"
My faith in humanity is restored!

Not bad. Not bad 'tall. :lmao:

LOL!
So, I was at the grocery store yesterday. They had clementines, 2 lbs for 2.99, 5 for 4.99. This elderly lady was next to me looking at them too. She said to me, "This is a good deal on clementines." I replied that it was indeed a good deal. She then let me know she was unsure if she could use 5 pounds of clementines. I suggested she juice them. We agreed that 5 lbs of clementines for $4.99 was a good purchase, so we both picked up a bag.
And then the security guard jumped out of the Christmas Tree display and told the lady he would walk her to her car, because he was concerned with the jackholes (my word not his) barreling through the parking lot.
The end.

I particularly like the use of obscure but obviously very smart words used indicating the jeanus of the poster. I deducted a quarter bong for not starting out with "So."

OK, so I had to go look up "pinniped." Got it. What's the soft grey metallic subtance?

...and Johnny tries his hand at song writing again....to the tune of that song from the sound of Music....which my unmusical ass can't remember which comes first.
Dough....that stuff we get for free.
Ray...my social workers name.
ME....it's all about ME.
"O"....my blesseded president.
SEW...a needle in your eye.
LA...another screwed up place.
FAR...North Korea will do.
TEE...Obama has a few.
....and that will bring us back to the welfare office.

Now for the translation from "Bouncy" to real life:
I walked down to Dunkin' Donuts for a sausage & egg flatbread sandwich and a cuppa joe (heavy cream, heavy sugar). Along the way I knodded and said hello to a passerby. At the store, I wished them Merry Chrismas and left a dollar tip on a $3 purchase (because I hate the poor and working class).
I guess if I really CARED about the DD employees, I would have left them a well-worn copy of "Das Kapital" and urged them to obstruct and overthrow their multinational corporate overlords!

Then in appreciation they would have incresed your heavy cream, heavy sugar order to no cream and a dab of corn syrup.

I came across the same person. I got in his face, repleted 20 Soros leftist talking points and really dressed him down.
A crowd had gathered across the street and started to cheer.
As he ran away, he kicked a kitten...

So, I was in the Post Office today. I'd been standin' in line for close to an hour watchin' our wonderful Postal department that lost 8 billion last year, and noticed there is only 2 windows open and the line is out the door!
When it was finally my turn after about 40 minutes of my 60 minute lunch, I asked the worker manning the window, "why is it I see a dozen workers standin' around bull shittin' while they have so many customers waiting?"
She immediately gets an attitude and says she gonna have to put my parcel in a bigger envelope and charge me another 12 dollars! I mutter under my breath, that I ship with UPS and Fed Ex all the time in this size envelope and you would think a gubmint subsidized, rape the tax payer, entity could do the same. After all, Y'all lost 8 billion dollars last year, I come in here on my lunch break, and see a dozen of you public servants standin' around with your thumb up your ass!
Well apparently some mealy mouth lefty standin' behind me raises his voice and lets me know if it weren't for the Postal Service, unemployment would be 12% instead of 10! I immediately let him know that anything the government touches turns to shit, and if it had been a private company like UPS, I wouldn't have to wait and it would be cheaper!
He starts playin' drama queen and starts in on my T-shirt that has George W on it with a caption that says, "Miss Me Yet?". By this time everyone in the Post Office is lookin' at him like he's lost his mind!
As I've had just about enough of this limp dick, I pay the extra coin and head for the door. He raises his voice again and lets everyone know if I hadn't left when I did, he woulda kicked my ass. then, to my disbelief, he flips me off!
Well, that was the last straw, so I decided to wait outside and ask the ***** if he cared to take it any further. I'm standin' there in front of this little toy car, looked like a '93 Prius on it's last legs, 'cause I thought, what else would this dipshit drive?
No sooner had I turned around and this guy tries to Sunday punch me! He grazes one off my chin, and I retaliate by givin' him a swift kick in the "*****"! He goes down swearin' I kicked him in his "kitten", I guess in order to get some kind of sympathy. Everyone else, to his dismay applauds the fact that somebody finally shut the little **** up!
Well, I guess his 'Ol Lady called the cops, 'cause here they come, lights just a flashin'! They put me and him in cuffs until they can get the story straight and start askin' people standin' around if they witnessed the altercation. After talking to 5 or 6, they take the cuffs of me and ask if I would like to press charges.
I tell 'em naw.....gettin' kicked in the "kitty" and havin' your ass beat in front of your woman was punishment enough.
They ended up searchin' the guy and found a dime bag on him so he went to jail anyway!
Will they ever learn??????????

As I was reading the story, I was thinking the same thought Bonobo was :thatsright: :-) Seriously, though, he had no idea what might have been said to the man first. Postal employees can be notoriously rude sometimes, especially when they have to actually work :-) And then, while not the desk clerks fault, they lose crap with annoying consistency too. Bonobo is right, he just jumped to the conclusion the guy was abrasive for no reason; absolutely no consideration that the postal worker may have helped to escalate the situation.
Here's a thought that should make his head spin. Maybe the guy is unemployed and had to deal with a clerk who behaved like they didn't want to be there. Man's looking for a job desperately and has to look at another person with a (very good) job taking their sweet ass time and being gruff and unpleasant. Now who is the more noble? the government worker or the unemployed man :-) Oh the conundrums for the dummies. :lmao:
-
No description of the guy who was "verbally abusive"? so can we conclude that if the story was true it was either a little guy or old person, someone who isn't a "threat physically" to yell at in public?
BTW, I went to the post office yesterday and it was very pleasant, ran into a soldier and thanked him for his service, than saw a cute little doggie in a car with his head out the window and going nuts because he wanted to be petted and having a pleasant conversation with the dog's owner, and the dog's owner wishing me a Merry Christmas and me wishing her 1.
That's been the consensus with me as well wherever I've been. A nice little side perk of the unemployment is more polite adults are working counters, registers, etc. Merry Christmas, well wishes, and kind heartedness seems to be in abundance, even if money isn't. Days like these remind me of why "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is a really lovely story.

Oh My,
It snowed last night and my puppy had never seen snow. I got out the video camera placed it on a tripod and began to film the pups reaction as she was tied to a 20 foot lead to the front step railing.
Along came 3 teenage boys and they stopped to watch the pups reaction, leaping in the air and rolling about in this new awesome environment.
I was getting some good footage until one of the boys decided to throw a snow ball at the dog, then the other two joined in scaring the shit out of my puppy.
I immediately grabbed my cane and opened the front door getting smacked in the head myself by a snow ball. I yelled and waved my cane at them and managed to get the puppy in the house---When out of the bushes, up jumped a cop.
It was I that got arrested for threatening young children, scaring them by saying I would cut off their dicks if they ever came around my property.
Off I went to jail, the kids parents threaten to put a lean on my home, my lawyer says I may go on the sex offenders list. The cops said to my lawyer that they had been watching me for a long time as neighbors wondered why our family kept to ourselves and did not join the Homeowners Associon.
I was found guilty by a jury where not one member owned a pet. The Judge was a liberal and felt I had no right to defend my property or pets by using vulgar language, hate speech or sexual threats.. My cane was now considered a deadly weapon, so now I at 85 must spend 15 years in jail.
How I learned to love the liberals.

When it was finally my turn after about 40 minutes of my 60 minute lunch, I asked the worker manning the window, "why is it I see a dozen workers standin' around bull shittin' while they have so many customers waiting?"
She immediately gets an attitude and says she gonna have to put my parcel in a bigger envelope and charge me another 12 dollars! I mutter under my breath, that I ship with UPS and Fed Ex all the time in this size envelope and you would think a gubmint subsidized, rape the tax payer, entity could do the same. After all, Y'all lost 8 billion dollars last year, I come in here on my lunch break, and see a dozen of you public servants standin' around with your thumb up your ass!
Well apparently some mealy mouth lefty standin' behind me raises his voice and lets me know if it weren't for the Postal Service, unemployment would be 12% instead of 10! I immediately let him know that anything the government touches turns to shit, and if it had been a private company like UPS, I wouldn't have to wait and it would be cheaper!
He starts playin' drama queen and starts in on my T-shirt that has George W on it with a caption that says, "Miss Me Yet?". By this time everyone in the Post Office is lookin' at him like he's lost his mind!
As I've had just about enough of this limp dick, I pay the extra coin and head for the door. He raises his voice again and lets everyone know if I hadn't left when I did, he woulda kicked my ass. then, to my disbelief, he flips me off!
Well, that was the last straw, so I decided to wait outside and ask the ***** if he cared to take it any further. I'm standin' there in front of this little toy car, looked like a '93 Prius on it's last legs, 'cause I thought, what else would this dipshit drive?
No sooner had I turned around and this guy tries to Sunday punch me! He grazes one off my chin, and I retaliate by givin' him a swift kick in the "*****"! He goes down swearin' I kicked him in his "kitten", I guess in order to get some kind of sympathy. Everyone else, to his dismay applauds the fact that somebody finally shut the little **** up!
Well, I guess his 'Ol Lady called the cops, 'cause here they come, lights just a flashin'! They put me and him in cuffs until they can get the story straight and start askin' people standin' around if they witnessed the altercation. After talking to 5 or 6, they take the cuffs of me and ask if I would like to press charges.
I tell 'em naw.....gettin' kicked in the "kitty" and havin' your ass beat in front of your woman was punishment enough.
They ended up searchin' the guy and found a dime bag on him so he went to jail anyway!
Will they ever learn??????????

Someone hasn't had to renew their drivers' license lately.
I was speaking of retail establishments. Seems silly I even need to clarify that, but... ::)
