The guy he pushed aside (Montenegro's Dusko Markovic) should have responded by edging Trump aside and stepping right in front of him. You have to put the bullies down. What penalty would Markovic pay? Trump could not have done anything.
ReplyDeleteYears ago when I was commuting by bus I would always look for offenders as I walked down the aisle to find a seat. Anyone clearly taking up more than one seat space would always be my target. Most were unaware that they were doing that and would gladly let me sit.
Two people stand out from my polite justice, and I was polite. One was a guy who, when he rode, always set his briefcase and laptop on the seat next to him. I noticed that after he set up his office others would simply stand rather than asking for that seat. I took away his privileges one day with a simple "Excuse me" said politely but as a command. He was really upset but didn't argue, even though there were couple of other open seats. He had to ride with all that stuff on his lap, but he got the message.
The other rider that stood out may not have gotten the message. As soon I turned to walk down the aisle - it was a nearly full bus - I saw a woman looking straight through me with arms and legs clearly spread out taking up lots of room in the center of the rear seat. There's my target! She barely budged for me. She refused to give me room without speaking. Fine with me. So I wedged in and we pressed the flesh for the entire ride. Neither of us was comfortable. It was a draw.
There's so many times I wish someone would blast Drumpf and we fund raise for his or hers legal fees.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that what Mittens said? What's good for the goose etc.
"The guy he pushed aside (Montenegro's Dusko Markovic) should have responded by edging Trump aside and stepping right in front of him. You have to put the bullies down."
As everyone knows, I agree. I hate bullies.
Instead of shoving Drumpf out of the way...You step on the heel of his shoe. ;OP
Kicking his leg into the other from behind so he trips himself and falls on his face is a favorite.
