The fellow knew that Shaun was not the kind of fellow that would be able to put up much of a fight...or have the intestinal fortitude to do so. The fellow returned the disrespect and gave Shaun every opportunity to take a swing...which would have given him an excuse to beat the crap out of Shaun and redeem himsef in front of his girl. Instead, Shaun came off as a wuss and the guy feels that he showed his girl that he may not have a job...but he is the more manly of the men in her life. Although this is not always the most effective way to impress a girl...it is all the guy had at the time...and likely made him feel better. Shaun's calling the cops on him likely further helped make his case regarding Shaun's masculinity.

Snipe is wrong as well. This was Shaun's place of business. Don't crap in your own nest...especially when the only witness is sleeping with your antagonist (unless she likes you better). Let him go...but be ready to run into him again somewhere else and kick his butt. Get the RO, it is a good strategy...because then after you pound him...he goes to jail, win or lose.
Lots of wisdom in the above...

Handled it all wrong.

Should have said, "I don't want any trouble, I'll pay you $500 to leave. Will you take a check . . . "

What's the latest on this, Shaun? Did you let the woman go or keep her? Any boyfriend sightings?

The show was awesome! Every spring customer came back for more, very happy with how spring is selling, picked up several new accounts and a major showed strong interest, need to follow-up with a private presentation in NYC.

Economy seems to be strong for this sector based solely on reorders for current stock (shipped in early Feb.) and depth of orders for fall.

thanks everyone for the support, I really appreciate it!

no show pics, forgot the camera in my haste to get down there, but here was one of the big sellers. I don't anticipate shopping for a new 997 GT3 any time soon, but maybe next year.

I read 4 pages of this thread. Recently had a similar situation.

I was at a friends house on a busy street. Leaving, backing out of the drive, I decided to leave by using the adjoining drive way of the next door abandoned house, stopped at the road, and turned right.

Door unlocked, window raised.

Next light, a small gray car swoops in front of me as I stop for the next stop light. Guy jumps out, (I realize that this is the neighbor who lives in the next house past the circle drive, about 225 lbs, 6 foot, at least 15 years younger than me. ). dashes up to the left front and drivers area of my box van, and starts with threatening fistical motions, stating that if I do not keep off the property, he will shove all my teeth down my throat, continusly yelling "stay off the property(not his, the abandoned one between my friends and his rental house.).

Never touched the truck, just a lot of dancing around.

Brought to mind the saying in that Clint Eastwood movie (goodbadugly?),

"If you"re going to shoot....SHOOT!"

Finally gets in his car, does a u turn, and is gone home.

We had a similar case where an older couple, in 60-70 age range, wasted an attacker in North Kansas City who approached them in a threatening manner. No charges filed.

PS I am a redneck, and I would not be able to afford supporting a crippled person and continue my lifestyle.

Exactly... people took their time to give him their best advice on his problem... I'm sure many are curious as to what he decided to do about the woman and if the boyfriend has made any more waves, but zip, nada on that.

The shirts look great.

(In his defense, maybe his lawyer told him to keep mum on it.)

Shaun,

Shirts are gorgeous! What size range are you doing in these? My 'littlest man' is a monster of a 10yo - in your terms he's built like a quarterback . How large do you go in these cos he'd love some....pm or email me when you can please with details.

Cheers,


Lisa

What happened? Nothing, just as it should be. There is nothing to report, no drama, no soap opera, nothing. Police took care of it. Again, I appreciate all the advice and good cheer on this issue. I did the right thing (thanks to all here) and I've moved on.

Met a cool fellow from Australia by the way, got to get down your way someday.

PM sent.

There is a place on this site to sell T shirts(Porsche Collectables - Pelican Parts Technical BBS) and PPOT is not it. Devious.

Oh you boys...

Shaun makes a simple post about getting in a yelling match with the boyfriend of a temp worker...

You guys blow everything out of proportion...

Then you get your panties in a wad when he doesn't cater to your whims.

I don't think Shaun is trying to sell t-shirts here. LOL

Hell, he has probably given more of them away to us fellow Pelicans as gifts than he would ever hope to sell to us. Last I checked this is an off topic forum and one can post whatever one wants.

PS Shaun, I like the MX shirt.
