SuzeQuze -- is your day going any better?

dissention · #32 11-11-2005, 05:08 PM

What a polite way of saying you look like ****.

No, I didn't mean you.

I just meant people in general.

Suze - you should have used some snappy retort.
But don't feel bad. About 6 days ago I noticed that my dark circles have increased somewhat dramatically. And not in a sexy way. More like in a malnourished looking way.

I have no doubt you look fine.
Also, I hate when people say that.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. And not just to the people who say that crap to you, David, but a lot of people are in serious need of a beat down. Don't people get mad anymore?

A Buddhist promoting anger?

Coworkers have said this to me, when I am not wearing eye makeup. It so rarely sounds like the person has concern - more like Diss said, a way of saying you look like ****.

The only time that comment would be alright with me is if it is followed by an offer of:
a day off
some tea
a pillow

Hey - there's a retort:
"You look tired today."
"I am tired. Could you get me a pillow?"

The other unwelcome comment I have always hated is:
"Smile" it is almost always uttered as a command, and from a stranger. I
don't know any unmedicated people who walk around with smiles on their faces all day

p.s. I thought your thread was going to be about all of us late-night ledgies.

That comment is the bane of my existence and just reading it sends me into a rage - imagine how I feel when people say it to me. And I must have heard it 4-5000 times by now.

Well, you know...some situations call for getting mad as hell and not taking anymore.

I'm not sure what some of you guys think Buddhism is, exactly.

Yep. I like to think when I am walking, and sometimes what I am thinking makes me smile, and sometimes it makes me frown. I am happy to smile at someone who smiles at me (if they aren't creepy) but I don't think it's like, my reponsibility or something.

Once I got into a yelling match with a teenage hippie on Haight st, 1987. He just picked the wrong day: I was living on $5 a week for food, in a sublet just off the Haight, trying to find a job, and figure out how to stay in SF, oh yes, and my car had just been towed. So, he said, "smile" and I kept walking, and then I swung around, and asked him how many men he had commanded to "smile" that morning. I told him he wasn't being very helpful, and why didn't he tell me something funny if he wanted me to smile.

It kind of shook him out of his happy-go-lucky smoke-a-doob, dance-to-Jerry, hold-a-puppy mode. So, then he called me a Bitch, and he told me I needed to get laid more. (At that point in my life he couldn't have been more wrong, "getting laid" was not the problem) ;^) I really bummed him out. Oh well. [grumble grumble, bah humbug] that'll teach 'em.

That. my friend. was funny as hell....

PRICELESS.!!! Bless your soul, I needed to laugh til I cried.

I never smiled as a child and one of the lunch ladies used to call me Smiley. It bothered me at first but then I realized she was trying to be warm and it was pretty miraculous anyone noticed me at all.

Yes, my day is better. I finished work at about 4:30 and I ain't done nothin since and am going to bed soon. I watched Igby Goes Down, that poor little bastard. My Mufy is my snuggle bunny because my roommate is away so that is sweet.

Amber I was thinking of you yesterday because I was in the kitchen at work getting coffee and a coworker was there and he said, "So, you're getting coffee?" I know how much you love when someone states the obvious.

Thanks for this, very sweet of you.

Last night I was out with a friend and I thought we were going to have a couple of beers for fun. But it turns out she and her girlfriend may be breaking up. So it turned out to be very emotional because I am a mood sponge. It is okay though because the poor woman really needed some support. Plus, I've been up late chatting with you fine people lately.
