GOOD GOD?!?! Seriously? What did you say? What an asshole!


There's a doctor I work with who's constantly saying rude stuff & I don't know if she doesn't realize it or doesn't care.

To a nurse practitioner: "well, you wouldn't know since you're not a doctor"

While we were out at dinner:
Friend: "Hahaha, yeah, I told him 'you must have been drinking to think I looked good that night.'" laughing...
Doctor, completely serious : "Yeah, they must have been reeeaaaally drunk to think that."

My next door neighbor is constantly saying stupid things, usually racist.

"Yeah, it was that one reporter on channel 7. You know, the colored guy." BTW, I have repeatedly told her that "colored" has not been an appropriate term since at least the 60's. She continues to say it. I hope someone slaps her one day.

"We know a colored guy, he lives in Marilla {which is a very rural area}. I give him a lot of credit." Huh? Why?

I've also had people point out to me "wow, your face is really breaking out lately." Thanks, I had no idea.

Well, I was in the mall once with my brother and a group of guys walked by and said as loud as they could "How does it feel to be gay, fudgepacker?" You know the group. The ones where there's a jock (A&F type), a kind of nerdy I don't really fit in kind of guy and two or three hangers on. And I know in the right place, right time, they'd all want to find out.

Imagine the complete and total loss of blood in my body at that moment. I wanted to die. I should've said something smartass, which is typically what I do. Instead, I just shook my head and we went on our way, but talk about an awkward moment for me and my brother. It totally ruined the entire day. I wanted to do nothing else but go home alone and lay in the bed.

Aww, some people are such idiots. It is interesting how he phrased is bashing though, isn't it? Methinks thou dost protest too much.

An 11 year old walking towards me, on the street in Oakland said, "Hey mama, mmmm, your lookin' good!" He looked serious, it freaked me out, and then it cracked me up.


Here are two first date stories involving out-loud statements:

I went on a date with a guy who was really trying to impress me with his BMW bike, and, I don't know, his costly leathers. Anyway, we went to see the movie Ghost, and I was sort of rolling my eyes at the predictable good white man go to heaven/ bad man with an accent go to hell thing. So when a "bad man" died, I was ready for the wraithlike devil dogs to come and get him, and I meant to say "hounds of hell", but I said "Ok, here come the dogs of hell", and the wiener (I mean, date) turned to me and said "Um, I believe the correct term is hounds of hell"
ding. Date Over.

Around the same time I went out with a Swiss guy who was super nice, but super exuberant, and a little arrogant like the "wild and crazy guys" from Saturday Night Live. On the day of our first real date, we were in the school computer lab [insert sound of many people typing] the Swiss guy turned to me and said, grinning, "Let's have sex tonight! Would you like that?" [All typing ceases in computer lab]

Yours rock. And, your Oakland 11 year old experience went nicely with my current Oakland "I wish that bike was my face" experience that prompted me to start this thread.
Swedish guy is the best.

Yeah, Swedish guy is the winner so far. Here's something I just came acrross in this text book I'm working on:

To use a style of software development called POOP (procedural object-oriented programming) instead of OOP, one can define all methods as static and then pass needed information in through parameters.

Thanks - I meant to point out that your post made me think of the Oakland incident. Also, I think the bike/butt comment was a compliment, albeit an unwelcome one.

I'm very sorry that you encountered this idiots. It also reminds me of what happened to a 38 year old, heterosexual black male named Willie Houston on July 29, 2001. Willie Houston was a bus driver and he drove a bus for elderly and handicapped people. The bus that he drove was probably where Willie Houston met a blind man named Victor Holt. Victor Holt's wife is named Valerie and Willie Houston's female fiancee at the time is Nedra Jones. All four of them were celebrating Willie Houston and Nedra Jones's engagement by going to a midnight cruise on the General Jackson River Showboat. Houston and Jones would have been married only two weeks later but the marriage never happened because they encountered a violent anti-gay criminal named Lewis Maynard Davidson III. Davidson had prior criminal convictions for drug , assault, and weapon offences.

After the midnight cruise on the boat was over, Willie Houston, Nedra Jones, and the Holt couple were in the parking lot. The two women had to go to the women's restroom that is near the parking lot and Nedra Jones didn't want to carry her purse into the restroom. Nedra Jones asked Willie Houston to hold her purse for her and he agreed to do this. After the two women went into the restroom, Victor Holt needed to to the men's restroom and he asked Willie Houston to assist him because the restroom was an unfamilar place for Victor Holt. Please remember that Victor Holt is a blind man. Willie Houston started guiding the blind man into the restroom and that is where the two men encountered the violent criminal Lewis Maynard Davidson III. Davidson falsely assumed that the two men were gay and became extremely angry at them. He wouldn't stop yelling anti-gay slurs at the two heterosexual men even when they explained to him that the purse belonged to Willie Houston's female fiancee Nedra Jones and that Victor Holt was blind. Davidson continued to yell at them when the two men were leaving the restroom and the argument continued in the parking lot. By this time, both of the women had left the women's restroom and they were also trying to get Davidson to calm down and be quiet. Davidson still refused to calm down, threatened them and then he went to his car to get something. He came back with a gun and shot Willie Houston in the chest and killed him.

Davidson was caught in Ohio more than two months after he murdered Willie Houston. He was convicted of first degree murder and he lost his appeal of his criminal conviction. He won't be eligible for parole until the 2062. I really wish that an inmate will kill this obnoxious bum even though I don't know any of the people that I have written about. In fact, I have never even met any of these people but genetic blinding eye diseases run on both sides of my family. At the time Willie Houston was murdered, my blind paternal grandfather was still alive and I wondered if an obnoxious violent bum would attack anyone in my family. Every single time that my dad took my grandfather out into a public place, my dad would have to guide him. My grandfather died of natural causes on March 10, 2003 and he lived to be 100 years, eleven months and twelve days old. Even to this day, I still get very angry whenever I think about Willie Houston being murdered.

That is such a sad story. I wonder sometimes about the fact that something like that could've and still could happen to me. Hearing stories about people like Gwen Araju (sorry for murdering her last name) and others scares the crap out of me, but like Mama always told me "you can't be afraid of living cause you'll miss life"

Believe it or not, it's a she. First woman I've ever worked for, and I'm not sure I'd want to work for another one. I was in the middle of my grief, I mean, it wasn't even a year after he died. I was pretty much zombie like during the first year, and I wasn't preforming up to par at work (hard to believe- I know ) Anyhow, we were in a preformance review, and we were talking about how this had affected me ... then she said it. I mean, what do you say back?? I remember telling her that I hope she had supportive people around her if she was ever widowed. That's all I remember. Ya, she's a real troll. She thinks I've got all this damn money, and I think she hates me for it.

I guess there is no "appropriate response" to a comment that insensitive and inane. I mean, having a little cushion is a small consolation after losing your husband. I have found female bosses to be difficult in my experience. I don't know why but they seem to dislike me right off the bat.

It's because your cute, and those mean, ugly b*tches can't handle it!! My boss tells me all the time that I need to cut off my hair. (it's pretty long) When she found out it was naturally curly, she looked me dead in the eye and said "I hate you." How 'bout that??

Yeah, I'm smart too. I hate your boss. Seriously, who says that to an employee?

My current boss is just really odd. She has a good heart though which goes a long way. She's just very awkward socially. Plus I need to get her to the "What not to Wear" people. But that is a story for another day.

Tell your boss she needs to do something about that troll nose. Okay not really!
