Nasty ring-selling Pug lady in the college union ...
Yesterday, our local Democratic group marched and rode in its fourth parade in our ultra-conservative county this fall. We've been booed and screamed at and told to go home by all the BushFascists. But we've marched with smiles on our faces as proud Kerry supporters (AND we gave out a LOT of campaign literature for the local Dem. candidates)!

Anyway ... as the parade ended, I went into a nearby college union building, and a fellow volunteer and I wanted to trade phone numbers, so she asked to borrow a pen from the lady selling class rings. Well, this bitch said, "I don't know whether I should let you write here at my table with all those Kerry buttons on." And she kept giving us sour looks and mumbling nasty things at us under her breath, and being as unpleasant as possible.

As we walked away from her (after thanking her very politely for lending us her pen) my fellow volunteer said, "I never hold anyone's political beliefs against someone when they ask to borrow something from ME." Well, the lady just shot us dirty looks.

Do people like this think being unpleasant in this way HELPS their business? The woman who asked to borrow the pen is a college student -- do you think she'll ever buy a class ring now? Not on your NELLY!

1. Class rings are great...
For splitting Republican lips.

2. She's just a sales rep right? Get ahold of someone in the company, let
them know what a big mouth she is and how her attitude is hurting sales.

3. I'd report her to her management
I'm sure the company she represents doesn't want her hassling their customers because of a button. You can probably send a complaint with where and when the incident occured, and a description of her to the company through their website.

4. I'm sure she was just working for min wage
and couldn't care less about business she's losing for her employer. Ya should've thrown her pen across the room after you got done using it and said "fetch bitch"!

5. Hey, don't disparage pugs in your title! They're wonderful little dogs.
