Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI met a trumpanista today, and it didn't go well
Was just at Albertsons, I asked a girl if they had those trump troll dolls, she said they were all sold out and good luck finding one.
She then asked if I was a fan of dumpf, I said no, I want one to tie to the pair of blue silicone testicles hanging from the back bumper of my truck......
Ooooo did I get a look, I then asked where the air fresheners were, she says aisle 13, I said you know I was just in aisle 13, the one full of candy from end to end.
She turned and walked away.
I love it when a plan comes together.
I could have reported her to management I suppose, but her little dumpf dream is coming to an end soon enough, that's a gift that'll keep on giving.
And the look on her face when I described what I wanted the troll for?.

And they didn't ask for an item, they asked for the "troll" item which is not what the item is.

Are you really defending the sales person? How much do you think this person loves their job? And why does she ask what the troll doll was for?

(10,926 posts)You asked an employee if they had something, she asked you a question, and...what, exactly?
What made her a "trumpanista," exactly?
I'm recommending a revise and resumbit before you even mare it to "Cool Story Bro" status.

(2,050 posts)It's funny that some don't have a sense of humour, but that's ok, you can usually pick them out of a crowd and ignore them, (hint) they have a sour look on their faces.
I guess they don't understand the adage that if you don't like what you're seeing, change the channel......

(31,109 posts)pretend to be on the phone, and sometimes I am of course, and I carry on a conversation in the grocery store as if I am on the phone about what a no good lying traitor trump and his team are.
It gets a little louder or quieter depending on the physical size of the deplorable I am next to because some of them have no sense of humor
skypilot
(8,853 posts)What exactly is it that the OP did? He asked for something that they were sold out of. The salesperson asked certain questions and SonofDonald answered. If the salesperson didn't like the answers it's not because of something that SonofDonald "did". He has a right to display the doll in the way he described, just as people have a right to display an anti-Trump bumpersticker.
Sugar Smack
(18,748 posts)I'm assuming you're a *GUY* who used the word *TESTICLES* to a *GIRL* who's *TRAPPED**WORKING* in a store. I think when you said "testicles", you may have really rattled her. You may be in more trouble than she, if you did that.
SonofDonald
(2,050 posts)I'm not that guy, there's enough bad vibes in the world as it is these days.
I love everybody, even if we don't see things the same way, life's too short to have bad thoughts in your mind or heart.
If I meet someone I don't like I just ignore them and take my leave, I don't let it bother me any longer than that.
And the word "testicles" usually doesn't bother a girl that has both arms covered with tatoo's and a big one on her neck along with lots of piercings as she had on display so I figured I was safe to say that word instead of the slang name for them.
All in all she had less of an attitude about what I said than a few on here have had.
Humour, it's not for everyone....

SonofDonald
(2,050 posts)I don't put bumper stickers or any other doodads on my vehicles, so of course my buddies give me lots of those type of items for my birthday and such.
But when I saw the dumpf troll doll I knew it would be right at home tied to a blue rubber testicle swinging from my bumper.
I've been given a Shelby stripe kit and matching red "Cobra" letters for my black convertible and they've been sitting in a box for years now, it just isn't me.
But I'll run the blue balls if I can find the troll doll, sometimes you just have to make your own fun.
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)They are for guys (and I guess a few women) who want to tell the world their trucks have lots of testosterone (even if they, themselves, do not). I think it's funny when they are pink colored.
I'd think that Shelby decal kit might have cost a bit.

Just based on what you wrote, you must see that it could be interpreted another way.
Her first response when you asked her if she had that product was to not just say no, but to add in a conversational "good luck finding one".
She then asked if you were a fan of Trump. Lets see, you were going to buy a Trump doll. She could have just been doing her job and being cordial. She may have been a "trumpanista", but she also may have been a Democrat voter who knew she could only ask and not comment as her job was not to bring friction. Or she could have been one of the half the country that never voted and is mostly apolitical and doesn't normally even think much about politics. We cannot tell from that text of the conversation either way.
Then you went out of your way to assume she was a "trumpanista" and gleefully told her your rude plans with said doll. She reacted like a lot of young women would. She was more put off with your genitalia reference said to her, a stranger, probably with a smile on your face, than she was with any political humor stunt you had planned. It could easily provoke a "look" without meaning she was a "trumpanista".
And perhaps, just perhaps, she did think the air fresheners were on aisle 13. That or you couldn't find them. If that was the case, then for you to snidely come back at her with the implied accusation that she was trying to screw with you? Yeah her just walking away seems like a normal reaction for her.
Also a little disturbing is your admission that you had a "plan" that came together, and you loved it. So your plan was not to go into the store and buy a Trump troll doll primarily. It was to find a clerk who you would goad to the point of believing she was a Trump supporter, and then fuck with her? Or what exactly was it?
That is what I got based on your truncated description of the event. It wasn't funny and didn't make you look good at all.
