This post may prove incendiary, but I just had this guy who is a black muslim (I looked him up) in NYC that got all preturbed with me as I was checking his order status on something. He grew impatient as I put him on a conference call with the manufacturer & went into a rage & cancelled his order when the rep there couldn't find the order in his system. As he first grew impatient & calmly threatened cancellation, I pleaded with him to please give me up to an hour to get back to him & even offered a discount & that only seemed to make him relish cancelling the order even more & he went ballistic.
In retrospect, I think I shouldn't have called him by his first name & my first name being David probably didn't help either. I may be reading too much into this, but from the looks of his picture on the net the guy is most certainly a black muslim. Of course I made no small talk about al-Zarqawi as I was playing it safe. The guy's name was Omar, after all. I had no idea he was black until I looked him up in google.
People are fucked up...I'm the nicest guy in the world on the phone. I swear the events of today had the guy on edge or something because he was a total asshole.
