Interesting day...

I went in at noon for poll challenger training. Very informative.

Then I went to campus to grab some stuff.

On my way home from there, the driver of the bus was apparently so offended by my very presence that she initiated a snarky one-sided conversation about the upcoming election. I believe her words were something like "You a McCain person, huh? November 4th is going to be a bad day for you. *smirk*"

If looks could kill, that woman would have dropped dead at the wheel and gotten us all killed. But she couldn't take a hint. She just kept digging, and I just kept glaring. And then as other people got on or off the bus she exchanged opinions on the election with them as I sat 2 feet away, looking over at me when she thought I wasn't looking.

I had had enough. I very pointedly checked the time, pulled out a pen and wrote down the bus number and route, and got off the bus. I would have had her badge number, but it wasn't visible (big no-no). I think she was on to me (/sarcasm) because she shouted her name at me as I got off. Not that I needed it when I called to lodge a complaint about her a minute later. According to the guy I talked to, MetroTransit employees are not to engage in political discussions while working. Period. Oops. Wonder how she's going to explain that to her supervisor when they review the surveilance tape.

Then I walked two blocks down from where I got off and got my real revenge. I walked into the government center and cast an early absentee ballot. Take that, bitch.

And then I went and bought these awesome, Palin-esque heels at Marshalls.

And now I am at the office, typing this while my Mythology students are downstairs in the lecture hall watching Fight Club, listening to PalinMix! 2008, a compilation album some girls in the palin_confusion cooked up.

Not a bad day.

Good heavens, what is WRONG with these people? I can't imagine doing that to a random person! Anyway, good for you for reporting it.

And yay, shoes! Shoes are the best revenge.

Well, she's a black woman voting Democrat. It's okay for her to be nasty to me because I'm an evil racist who deserves her disdain. Clearly.

This article (http://www.lufkindailynews.com/search/content/news/stories/2008/10/07/secret_service.html) is why I asked if you'd called the secret service...

It seems as those who are voting for Obama are the only ones allowed to voice their opinion now. I know here in SC its become a very black/white thing. And heaven help us if a white person does something to offend a black person. But race is a whole different can of worms down here.

Boo to that bus drive! Yay to you for doing the right thing!!

Ugh. I probably would have been in a confrontation with her. I'm a VERY confrontational person when it comes to shit like that, especially if somebody presses my buttons.

Good for you though! I guess she is going to have a very bad October 22nd when she gets yelled at by her supervisor. HA!
