I met a trumpanista today, and it didn't go well

[SonofDonald]

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?.

PRICELESS

[cwydro]

1. Trump troll dolls?

Never heard of them.

Do you have a pic or link?

[packman]

11. Sold at Wally World and all fine retail establshments (Amazon?)

?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF

[cstanleytech]

22. I wonder if it would be as big of a failure as President as Trump is. nt

[crazycatlady]

32. has better hair

[Honeycombe8]

46. Damn! Wish I had known. I would've gotten one, esp since I HAVE one troll doll already.

I have one of those old troll dolls. A Trumpy could've made a pair.

[Bonx]

2. What plan is coming together here? Bothering people?

I don't get it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. All the poster did was ask about where an item was, how is that bothering people?

Then as I read the OP the only reason the OP mentioned the use of the item was because he or she was asked by the clerk.

[harun]

62. Not just bothering people but bothering them while they are at work. Where thay can't be themselves

with their response.

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

[womanofthehills]

68. The item is sold at Walmart online as - President Trump "Troll"

[lunatica]

87. How is asking for something bothering some sales person?

And then to have the sales person lie about what aisle something else was in.

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?

[harun]

88. Because it isn't an Alberston's employees job to find Troll Dolls

It's a grocery store.

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. Not following your plan

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.

[heaven05]

53. IT's a great story...bro

"the look on her face" made her a trump lover.....pretty clear cut really... what's with all these trump defenders on DU NOW!!

[Dreamer Tatum]

66. Calling out weird jackass moves isn't defending Trump

The OP did some weird, off-putting shit that is somehow MLK-level activism to some.

In reality, it's weird, stupid, and off-putting.

[B2G]

4. I hate these guesswhatIsaidaren'tIclever posts. nt

[Dreamer Tatum]

5. You have to admire the way they stood up to that Aisle 13 LIE, though.

All Trump-humpers will tell you that the air fresheners are where the candy really is. That's how you know.

[B2G]

12. For sure.

[cwydro]

65. Lol!

[Not Ruth]

6. "I love it when a plan comes together."

Plan?

[SonofDonald]

16. "The Plan" was to have them feel a little dismay

The way I do every fifteen minutes living in trump world, I succeeded without even trying.

And here I thought it was obvious.

[iluvtennis]

29. I actually got it nt

[Dreamer Tatum]

69. You never established that she was a "trumpanista"

and therefore you established yourself as weird and annoying.

[LuvLoogie]

77. I agree. The whole mentioning of the blue balls thing was just juvenile and uncooth.

He survives by the kindness of strangers.

[byronius]

7. Everybody's picking on this post, but I get it.

Slice of Post-Reality Life.

[woodsprite]

8. Love your idea! You could glue a money clip to those balls too!

Just like Jimmy Kimmel said - the NRA has the GOP's balls in a money clip.

[Twisty]

9. Hmmm...

Rough crowd.

[jodymarie aimee]

10. juvenile

you'd be better off volunteering at your local DEM office.

[SonofDonald]

17. I do volunteer

Tuesday I hosted bingo at the regional Veterans home, yesterday I was the host at a breakfast for the same Veterans home, and I do football and baseball games each month with the same veterans.

So I have somewhere around 20 hours already this month.

But it's been slow lately.

[jodymarie aimee]

35. not talking about volunteer work

talking about winning elections, helping DEMS register voters, write letters, etc...

[LexVegas]

13. Cool story, bro. nt

[lunasun]

14. TT doll ? Now I'm curious , this?

[Vinca]

20. OMG - I so want to unsee that. LOL.

[turbinetree]

27. Perfect size of everything...........small

[NBachers]

15. Since you're on an activist roll, here's a link- you can contribute to Nancy Pelosi's Victory Fund!

[bearssoapbox]

18. I don't understand the negative reaction of some.

But, meh

That's on them, I guess.

Different strokes.

I liked it and would have loved to have seen the look on her face.



We need to screw with them every chance we get. To hell with being nice. We tried. Look where it has gotten us.

[AmandaRuth]

21. amen sister

or brother.


amazed that the same people who tell us to be nice to folks who fell for the worst sort of race baiting and all the rest will be mean to fellow blues in a place for only blues.

talk about a circular firing squad

[SonofDonald]

24. Yes but then I found five more to put on full ignore

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......

[bearssoapbox]

51. Yes, ignore comes in handy

Good description of them, and if I may add, they also sound or act like they have a stick up their ass.

[WinkyDink]

59. I have a GREAT sense of humor, even quirky, but if a stranger guy spoke to me

as you did to this young woman, I'd figure I'd better just back away slowly.

[SonofDonald]

60. And then the real whiner showed up

And then they were gone, a real benefit of the sites options.

Ironic when my original post was about a troll.

[SonofDonald]

72. Two on full ignore just this morning

Just added another one, easy when they come to you, some people just want to start an argument or have a hissy fit.

Like I care.

Next......

[Dreamer Tatum]

73. "Just want to start an argument"

...as opposed to walking into a grocery store with the stated purpose of being an asshole.

Right.

[SonofDonald]

75. Another bite, another ignored......

Next......

But soon I'll just kill the thread, after all it was humor, but I've seemingly attracted all the self appointed PC police here.

And the whining is getting epic.

[SonofDonald]

78. Another three ignored

I know their posts aren't gone, I believe in the right to free speech, but that goes both ways.

At least it used to.

[Alea]

79. QFP incase you "kill the thread"

"I 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 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?.

PRICELESS"

[Alea]

80. Also, pro tip

No one cares when low post count newly joined people say they are putting them on iggy

[SonofDonald]

82. I don't know what QFP or iggy means

And I may not kill the thread, it's become a fishing expedition for some to try to get me to argue about their point but that won't happen, I don't ague with people about their opinions, to each their own.

And after a period of time I can come back and put more on full ignore though.

BONUS.

[SharonClark]

83. Are you self projecting?

[bearssoapbox]

50. This brother agrees with your amen

and your amazement.

I guess that's what we have these for and

[WinkyDink]

58. You're a guy, amirite?

[bearssoapbox]

84. You are correct sir!

To steal a line from Ed McMahon.



(just being silly)

[harun]

63. Because we don't support needling people while their hands are tied.

[AJT]

19. I like your story......did you ever find the drumf troll doll?

[SonofDonald]

26. No yet, it's the bad traffic hour here

But I'll find one.

[steve2470]

23. call me naive but this is counterproductive long-term

1- I'm assuming you actually did it

2- If you did, no goodwill was generated towards Democrats.

Hardly the stuff of promoting our side.

[SonofDonald]

25. Number six, calling number six....

This is way too easy.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. Steve, I know you mean this in a positive way, but you know what, we cant promote

our side, so to speak, with deplorable assholes.

They are unreachable, no reason to even consider reaching them.

[steve2470]

31. agreed

I just won't do this tactic.

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. What I do is I have these LG headphones, earbuds on wires and i put them in and

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]

34. "I'm assuming you actually did it"

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]

36. You couldn't ever report her- here's why-

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]

40. I would not have reported her

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....

[B2G]

45. Sounds like your typical Trump supporter for sure.

[linuxman]

71. "Yeah, you could tell she didn't mind by the way she was dressed/looked."

Fucking barf.

[cwydro]

74. Good to know you can judge "girls" by their tattoos.

And know what words might or might not offend them.

You sound like a real prince.

[7962]

42. These days, you're probably right. nt

[stonecutter357]

47. TESTICLES is what my doctor calls them .

[bluepen]

54. Yep, probably right in the Age of the Offended

[nocoincidences]

37. Get a trump voodoo doll...

it's interactive. Much more satisfying.

I got mine as a birthday present last December.

http://www.donaldtrumpvoodoo.com/

[SonofDonald]

44. Now that's cool! N/T

[Leith]

38. Actually, It Sounds Like It Did Go Well

The way trumpanzees are these days, they should experience a bit of discomfort once in a while.

[hadEnuf]

39. Now, now.

We must all be nice to the assholes who have helped vote this country into fascism.

I mean how will we win another election if we're not?

[MLAA]

41. Good for you! Excellent 'Close Encounter of the Turd Kind!'

[RhodeIslandOne]

43. Maybe she didn't care for you saying "testicles" in that context in front of her

Sometimes being rude is not about what you think it is.

[Alea]

48. Somewhere on another forum

is a post from a poor little tattooed democrat girl posting about how she was approached by some asshole trump supporter at work talking about trump troll dolls, testicles, his redneck pickup truck and air fresheners and how he was so rude she finally just walked away lol.

[B2G]

49. OMG.

[SonofDonald]

56. Wouldn't that be a poor little tattooed

Republican girl talking about how she was approached by some asshole Hillary supporter at work talking about trump dolls, testicles, his non redneck pickup truck and air fresheners and how he was so rude she finally just walked away?.

Lol

[WinkyDink]

52. I'm guessing she thought you were a gross old guy, what with your crude "explanation."

[SharonClark]

57. My thought as well.

[cwydro]

67. I'm with you on that one.

Disgusting, but thinks he's cool.

[petronius]

90. That was my first thought as well: if a total stranger told me he had

testicles on his truck and wanted a doll to attach to them, I'd very likely make a face too. The sequence would be something like:

[mercuryblues]

55. I'd rather trump

voodoo dolls, to stick pins in.

[ProudLib72]

61. Damn it all to Hell! Get your terminology right

It's "Truck Nutz".

I'd rather hang mine just behind the exhaust tip so Dotard could be continuously pooped on by my truck.

[SonofDonald]

64. It was a gag gift

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]

89. I don't have truck nutz. I just know about them

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.

[cwydro]

70. Cool story.

[virtualobserver]

76. she may have been offended by the blue silicone testicles

When I see them on a truck......it does not cause me to think positive thoughts about the driver.

[Not Ruth]

81. You were considering reporting her to management for sending you to aisle 13 for air freshener?

[Marengo]

85. Girl? How old was she, 10?

[LiberalLovinLug]

86. Sounds like the only troll was yourself, at least from what I read Maybe there was more to the story

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. As she must have known that they were selling out everywhere.

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?.

PRICELESS

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.
