Encounter with an A$$*ol* Republican Teabagger at the grocery store.
My car has developed some vacuum hose leaks (we found two) and hasn't been running well enough for me to risk taking it on the road till all are found and fixed. So I waited till my husband got home from work at 10:15 tonight to take a late night run to the grocery store for necessities (dog food and cat food! as well as people food).
While we were loading up his ancient (1994) Chevy van with our purchases, a big guy (older with pale gray hair) walked by asking if we'd seen "the crop of bums we are raising in this country." And my husband answered, "Yeah, and all of them are in Washington."
Then he walked back toward us and said, "Did you hear what they are doing with the military in Afghanistan?" And I asked what? He said, "Obama's so petty he's refusing to pay for the funerals and death benefits for the soldiers."
I answered, "Well that's because the Republicans shut down the government and won't fund anything."
He got angry and said that's not so, blah blah. And I said, "yes it is true. I keep pretty well informed, but I'm not going to argue with you."
At which point he became so incensed that he pointed to the groceries that we were loading and said, "Let me ask you this, HOW MUCH OF THAT AM I PAYING FOR?"
Now I am incensed, actually infuriated. "Nothing! We both work!" "Yeah, right," was his rejoiner as he made tracks away. I hope not so fast that he didn't hear me say "what an asshole."
My husband and I both work and have fortunately never had to rely on public assistance. But I'm not unaware that bad luck and circustances could change that for us as it has for many.
What I can't understand is the absolute hatefulness people like that jackass to perfect strangers. And how would have someone who was forced to rely on public assistance felt to hear the contempt of that jackass.
I'm not a vindictive person, but I would love to grind his face into a bit of poverty for a while. I don't think he'd learn anything, but one could hope
bet it never happened at all

ZERO bongs. No "So", and not even the hint of a conversion.
The rethuglican could have at least been brandishing a pistol.
Pathetic.

Can I buy my groceries online? I've heard of so many grocery store encounters with right-
winger nuts that I'm scared to go.

The President could have paid these benefits through an executive order ... he chose not to. I wonder what the DUmmy would have said then? But since this didn't happen, it's a moot point.

5. I sat down next to a couple of them at McDonald the other day.
One of them was going on about Obama shutting down the WWII memorial and him being a Muslim yada yada yada. I just slammed my tablet shut and went to the other side of the building. It is not worth arguing with them their minds are closed to any facts. All they know is what they hear on Fox news and the radio, you just as well talk to those cats and dogs you were shopping for.
You know, DUmmie docnumbers, this illustrates one thing.

10. Riding the bus home "from work" because downtown parking is a ransom on it's own....
Old drunk guy is dropping his bills all over the place. I'm smiling and hoping I don't have to bend over to make sure he doesn't lose his money. After the third time he drops not only 1's but 10's and a 20 wrapped inside, I tease him a bit, "Keep trying to give it all back, doncha?"
He's like "Fu** you" and I look at him and say, something like, "Not in your wildest dreams, old man"
Then he tells me, "STFU - I'm from Philly."
"You're from Philly and that means something to me how?" I say because this isn't my first drunk and belligerent on the bus.
So he tells me, "Get a job."
I snap right back, "I HAVE a job, as**ole. Where do you think I just came from?"
"Well, try laying carpet!"
"Hah, I've laid tile." The bus driver chuckled other people were laughing louder.
"Bullshit."
"My whole downstairs basement. Heavy Italian tile, cut it up with a water saw and every thing." Shut is face up for awhile.
He stared at me like he was going to come hit me and I almost wished he had. All I would have had to do was move quickly enough and he would have broken his fist on something behind me. He started sputtering and the driver told him that I had tried to be nice to him and if he didn't watch his language and tone he could get off the bus and stay outside.
Someone with a walker came on and I moved back a few seats. Someone says they saw him give me the middle finger.
At least the bouncy had laughing on-lookers. I'm not sure what there was to laugh at, though.

19. Next time
Next time, remind him YOU are paying for his Fox news watching, Socialist, Social Security and Medicare.
:mental: No, he is. And what is that word "Socialist" doing in that sentence? Looks like a Freudian slip.

28. this "off their meds" phenomenon must be nationwide-- ran into some crazies in NC
I went to a down home country cookin restaurant that has never been anything but a bunch of friendly rednecks in the ten years or so I patronized it. Last week for the first time ever at breakfast there was a bunch of raging old assholes acting drunk at 8 am, going on about not Obama but Harry Reid. Not all at the same table either, shouting to one another at some distance. Wrote it off as a one time aberration, until hearing last night from my partner that he went back with someone else at breakfast and witnessed the same bunch acting the same way, this time making wild false accusations against Obama.
Again: People Are Talking.

My confidence level, of that, is at 100%. Not even a nice try.
walked by asking if we'd seen "the crop of bums we are raising in this country."
Happens to me every time I hit Wally World at 2:00AM....... ::)
"Keep trying to give it all back, doncha?"
Huh?!?!

DUmmies, your bouncies have severely declined! Like any other kind of creative writing there are certain things that must be included in order for it to be a true bouncie. They don't have to be believible but they should be entertaining. Checkout lines, gas stations and parking lots are SO 2007!
Now, I understand you must be in a public place for this to take place, but you had a perfect opening with your car problems. Given the recent interest in car dealerships and service centers, wouldn't it make more sense to have your encounter there? Try this:
So, (remember, a proper bouncie must start with "so") My husband and me took my car into Gearhart Cheverolet Service Department to have some hoses fixed. Thanks for the recommendation BrainDamaged, they did a great job. It's too bad they found out about the remote though because there are some real faux news teabagger types there.
Anyway, Fox was on the tee vee and I was trying not to listen but suddenly this guy with gray hair, all old and shit, jumped up and started yelling at the television. I looked up and there was a story about two undocumented immigrant gay teens were protesting at the capital the other day. Because it was faux, the teens were being mocked by the right wing Rove types there.
This teabagger turned to me and said, look "the crop of bums we are raising in this country."
And my husband answered, "Yeah, and all of them are in Washington."
"Did you hear what they are doing with the military in Afghanistan?" And I asked what?
He said, "Obama's so petty he's refusing to pay for the funerals and death benefits for the soldiers but he lets people like this in the capital to protest."
NOW you can add the meaty part of your story:
I answered, "Well that's because the Republicans shut down the government and won't fund anything."
He got angry and said that's not so, blah blah. And I said, "yes it is true. I keep pretty well informed, but I'm not going to argue with you."
At which point he became so incensed that he pointed to the groceries that we were loading and said, "Let me ask you this, HOW MUCH OF THAT AM I PAYING FOR?"
Now I am incensed, actually infuriated. "Nothing! We both work!" "Yeah, right," was his rejoiner as he made tracks away. I hope not so fast that he didn't hear me say "what an asshole." (I will give you points for sticking to the left's talking points...at least I know you're watching MSNBC).
About that time this guy jumped up and acted like he was going to hit me or something. Right at that point a cop who was bringing his car in to be serviced opened the door and came around the really tall and bushy potted plant and just stared at this asshole (again, coming around a bush is a staple of these stories). Well, that shut him up pretty quickly. A couple minutes later his car was done and he left. Everyone sitting in the waiting area, including the cop, started clapping. A few of them even gave me a standing ovation.
Please try again an resubmit your bouncie. Remember, it doesn't have to be believable, but it does have to be entertaing and follow conventional structural rules.

I hear colleges will no longer be offering classes in "Creative Writing"....but only in "Bouncy Tale Fabrication".

Hmmm... lots of bouncies lately. Sure sign the dummies feel they are losing the debate.

Whenever they feel insecure, the bouncies flow. Anyone remember the scores of conversion stories just before Lurch shit the bed in 2004?
