Jerk Pissed Me Off!

[IdaBriggs]

BACKGROUND: MorAn in truck flipped me off for two bumperstickers (supporting Michigan's current Governor and Senator), and then got an earful because HE HAD HIS PHONE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. As I promised when I called, I went to Yahoo! and wrote a review of the incident.

Title: September 06, 2006 "Owner" Flipped Me Off for Bumperstickers!

On Wednesday, September 6, 2006 on M-53 in Romeo, Michigan, the driver of the black truck (who was reported to me as "the owner" when I called), slowed down to display his middle digit to me presumably because of the two (non-offensive) bumperstickers on my vehicle supporting two political candidates. I promptly called the phone number shown on the vehicle under the assumption that an unprofessional employee was misrepresenting the company, and the owner should be told. To my shock, I was informed, "THAT WAS THE OWNER."

The "owner's" intent was obvious -- to personally intimidate and harass me for expressing my political opinion. This cowardly display of rude behavior has earned my scorn and contempt for both the individual and his business. I was not proffered an apology, although I did offer a lecture on public decorum and civic responsibility.

In a country with diverse political opinions, I believe it is important all citizens demonstrate respect for each other. That courtesy was not given me by "the owner" of this company. I do not recommend anyone who loves their country give this disgusting, treasonous, cowardly WORM their business. Its not much of a man who tries to intimidate a pregnant woman into being afraid of physical retaliation for her political stances, and although I was *not* intimidated, the fact this man TRIED TO DO THAT leaves me suggesting he might be more comfortable in a country where Tyranny such as he tried to practice is considered socially acceptable.

In the meantime, if he can't handle this being "the land of the free, and the home of the brave," then he should get the hell OUT of my country!!!

ON EDIT: The link to the review is giving me fits! I'm sorry about that! Here is the contact information for the company (based on both Yahoo! and the information on the truck).

1. What a jerk.

But, don't you get yourself all worked up. You've got two brand new little people depending on you.

You should be sitting around with your feet up watching soap operas or some silly shit like that.

Don't let assholes like that get to you. You're too important.

9. Thank you, Midlodemocrat!

:hug: That was such a wonderful, sweet thing to say! I am tearing up from your kindness! (Hmmm. Hormonal, much? Eeek!) :)

2. It's best served cold, and it's probably not worth the psychic

energy.

3. Good Job!

:grr: What a jerk! As much as I'd like to address those with W-stickers on their cars, I do not. And, I expect the same courtesy.

If we ALL raised hell everytime one of these things happened, they would happen less.

i went into a big local convenient store i use often. gas prices high. i say..... wow why did prices go up so much this time. my regular manager and i were talking and another interrupted and said the war. the war i say. the war we started three years ago. that raised the prices

he went on to be a smart ass and i asked if he worked there.

i tell son to put stuff away, we were outta there, walking out the man taunts me all the way out of store like a little kid

wrote letter to office and the man was dismissed for two weeks no pay, and has to write me a letter of apology. just so happens my father and husband know so many of the top dogs and the owner of this business.

8. Now THAT'S funny!

What an idiot.

To have a disagreement with a customer is one thing. But to taunt you all the way out of the store? That's asking for holy hell coming down from on high if someone does it to me.

reprehensor will vouch for the fact that you do not like a pissed off fudge stripe.

6. Actions have consequences

If he was stupid enough to do this while representing a "professional" business, he can count on knowing what everyone thinks of that business.

Scary I know, but good on ya, brave Ida!

7. Remove leading space in the URL to get to the review

Good on you for calling. That would have gotten my blood boiling!

15. I'm sorry, but the link is giving me fits.

I guess the freepers are now reading this story, because there is already another review giving him "positive feedback" for his actions.

10. Did he give the name of his company, when he answered his phone?

[IdaBriggs]

12. The person who answered just said, "hello?"

And I inquired if it was the name of the company. I'm having trouble with making the link work, but here is the contact information for the company:

11. I point at people with "W" stickers and say how fucking stupid they are...

...loud enough for everyone to hear. Does that make me as bad as this guy?

[IdaBriggs]

14. Are you slowing down, sticking your hand out the window, and

and shaking your middle digit at them in the middle of a major highway while mouthing some form of (presumable) obscenity? If so, yes. Pointing and laughing doesn't seem like quite the same thing (at least to me).

[Windy]

13. WOW I live right by you and travel that road EVERY DAY!

I'll have to look for that black truck on my way home today!
GOOD FOR YOU!!! WAY TO GO AFTER 'EM!

Macomb County is getting a bit bluer, but when I worked as precinct captian in the presidential election, Bush won by 51% at my poll. We still have a lot of work to do! It amazes me that people still continue to vote against their own interests!
