How to Report Users in Real Life?

Hello everyone,
There's a really useful feature on MFP to report posts that I don't like.
Is there a way I can do this with people in person? I do it all the time at work with HR and in my neighborhood I'm lucky to have a homeowner's association so send a lot of e-mails to the HOA president.
But what if I'm like at a home depot or walmart or something and someone says or does something that rubs me the wrong way? It seems like calling the police might be an overreaction, but I don't know if store management can give strikes or ban customers the way I think they should? Especially for personal appearance and clothing things that bother my sensibilities.
PLEASE HELP.
With love,
Burt

Yes it's called throat punch! Works wonders!0

I suggest contacting your Congressman. They might be able to pass a law that makes the offending party's actions illegal.
Good luck Burt.0 -
You fill out a hurt feelings report and hand it in to your nearest person of authority. In home depot that could be the floor manager.0

Just break up0

rinse and repeat.0 -
Just break up
omg0 -
You wait for them in the parking lot and hit them with your car. No sense hurting your hand when you car can easily handle the impact of a human body.0
-
Just tell them directly and charge them $5 for your service.
Tell them you saved them an *kitten* whipping...0 -
Yes, this is nothing our government can't handle.0

Perhaps a strongly worded letter to the editor? That sets up a nice documentation trail, sends a signal of clear condemnation, and puts them on notice. Also sends a broader message to others who might consider similar behavior.0

LOL
just beware, NSA is watching
now they're after you0 -
only shop where people aren't welcome.0
-
Oh please be satire. So hard to tell with the widespread ignorance in today's society.0
-
Whatever store you find yourself in, go immediately to the in store phone system. Pick up phone and begin reporting the offense to all other shoppers via the intercom system.0
-
If you send a strongly worded letter to the FCC, they will put a black bar across the offending person's mouth and a five-second delay on everything that person says.0
-
Oooh a slippery slope of butthurt retribution! I like it OP. Once we figure out how we can bust people outside the internets for offending our sensibilities, I'm coming for you Burt.0

Do you not have a direct line to Obama?
I mean, I've got Cameron's number on speed dial.0 -
You should just post it here in a long winded and whiney manner, that'll show em.0
-
I usually just whisper my complaints to my kids and then let them scream out their thoughts. Usually works well.0

Best thread I've seen yet. LOL0

You coud start a thread on MFP about how people suck.
(1) Give us all the details of your interaction
(2) Let us all weigh in on whether it is a reportable offense
(3) If yes, solicit opinions on the best way to do that (which you've done here already -- so link this post)
(4) Follow thru.
BUT, if the MFP community says You are the jerk - you must then create a mean people thread and be "That Guy".
Deal?0 -

Lmao. If I did this.
My kid, "mommy why is that man such a tw@twaffle"
Ah, the humor....0 -
Where's that butthurt gif? I'm sure that could be adapted to fit your situation, and it MUST be honored at any and all retail locations. I would start there.0

In most areas of the nation you can call *211, your state-wide resource line, to talk about anything.
*211 can help you locate resources for food, housing, medical care, and counseling.
There is a trained representative standing by.
I'm sure you can also report users in real life through *211 as well, although I don't see it on their website.

You know, I still like living in a free country! Just sayin'! There's that freedom of speech thing here!
People say and DO stuff I don't like all the time, but I look at my photo ID and I am STILL not King Henry VIII. Shucks.
Please do not try to turn our country into China or Cuba. Where would they flee to then?0
