My bumpersticker is illegal
I still can't believe it.

Some woman in my apartment complex walked up to me in the parking lot, gave me her psychic card for no reason and then started quizzing me on my "Support Kerry 08" bumpersticker. I thought she might want one, so as I tried to remember where I got the thing, I was also trying to remember where my extras were.

Um... she didn't want one.

What she did want to do was ream me out. This sticker is illegal she said. The next election is three years away, she said. There's a war going on, and a hurricane, she said. Then she said something about having been an admirer of his for a long time, and asking me if I'd watched him on television this morning with a look on her face as if it were a loyalty oath question, like "Did you support your president today?" (more like, did you get your mark of the beast today?)

Then she said that my bumper sticker was scaring people. It scared her.

I was coffee-less, in a hurry, distracted and frustrated because I'd been searching my car for a budget book and couldn't do my finances without it. All I could get out therefore was "It's a free country" and "I support who I support".

If I'd had my wits about me, I'd have said:

"If you're a psychic, then tell we what I'm thinking right now."

"Shouldn't that read 'psychotic'?"

"Sieg heil to President Gasman!" (Thanks Green Day)

and various things about how the president was AWOL again during this crisis, how N.O. wouldn't be in such dire straits if their levees hadn't been cheated out of money, how the war wasn't necessary.

But then again, she lives in my apartment building, and the last thing I need is a war with someone.

That is my first experience with being broadsided and attacked out of the blue by a stranger who just didn't like something as small as a sticker. Disagree, fine. But DAYUM!

5. That's what worries me. She's one of my fucking neighbors!
She came at me out of the blue. She'd better not do it any more or harrass me for any reason, because I will use that card of her to call the cops on her ass!!

3. Bullshit - go to war with her...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 04:35 PM by mikelewis
For the past 4 days people have been dying in New Orleans and Iraq and it's because of pieces of shit like that woman. Did you know 950 pilgrims died on a bridge in Iraq yesterday? Do you think she'd give a shit? It's time you took a little wind out of her sails and call her on her bullshit. Tell her she's a traitor and a weak little peice of shit. If she don't like it, she can move.

12. Is She Under 42?
Or whatever the new limit is for the draft? If she is, she needs to sign up. No sense having to be "psychic" about the outcome of the war when she could be over there contributing!!!

17. Better yet since you have her phone number
provide it to all the military branches so they can recruit her personally.

16. Come to think of it, she might be literally nuts
The cleaning lady told me there was a woman living in our building who occasionally doesn't take her meds. She's not allowed to drive since she banged up some of the cars in our lot, scraping them as she went by.

I thought I'd been told she was a younger woman, while this one looked to be 40s to 50s.

But still, I wonder if this is a "freeper forgot her meds" situation.

11. Sounds like you handled it just fine.
"It's a free country" and "I support who I support" -- not much more needs to be said. You did good!

14. Reminds Me of my Peace Sign on my truck
Had a guy once tell me that without a doubt it was going to get my assed kicked.

The irony that floored me went right over his head.

3 years now with the peace sign and no ass kicking yet, but I have seen a few neocon middle fingers.

18. OMG you're a terrorist!!
I bet what she was alluding to was something like: Since your sticker is no longer a valid issue -and- since it scares her -and- since its political. Under the Patriot Act......You're a "terrorist!!"

:crazy:

25. It was more like
You should support your president during a time of crisis. But the way it came out of her mouth, you'd think my bumper sticker said that Kerry WAS the president instead of promoting him for the next time.

I literally think she's the woman I've heard is emotionally disturbed in my building. Literally off her meds I think.
