Being celibate for sometime now, it can be kind of funny, instead of as it's meant, as something insulting. Yes, please, fuck me!

Only she acted like I was stupid and was really really incredibly patronising. About every third word out of her mouth was "darling". So I said to her "can you stop calling me darling." and she acting like I'd insulted her, said she didn't mean offence and she spoke to everyone like that. I wish I'd made a complaint to the head office (she was manager) but actually I wish more that I'd suggested that if she talks to everyone like that she might try stopping and see if she gets more friends.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965647190492385781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-39582724277019598822010-12-04T09:13:32.693-05:002010-12-04T09:13:32.693-05:00This made me think of the lyrics to an Ani DiFranc...This made me think of the lyrics to an Ani DiFranco song:<br />I am not an angry girl<br />but it seems like I've got everyone fooled<br />every time I say something they find hard to hear<br />they chalk it up to my anger<br />and never to their own fearivanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694244417925801824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-9460903041798243582010-12-04T09:03:18.080-05:002010-12-04T09:03:18.080-05:00Wow - once again, you've hit the nail right sq...Wow - once again, you've hit the nail right square on the head. I've found since becoming disabled that I seem to always be trying to "take back"...take back my dignity, my power, my femininity. I've no doubt, however, that when you do whatever it is you're about to do, the offending person will feel completely and thoroughly "told". Go get 'em, Dave!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171428636839043425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-36199596660102948962010-12-04T07:02:09.311-05:002010-12-04T07:02:09.311-05:00The wheeliecrone says -

Say, very quietly but firmly, "You know, I'm really very angry about ..." whatever it is that has happened.<br />3. Hold the look.<br /><br />That has worked quite well for me. But, hey - I am an old woman with purple hair, who uses a wheelchair. It may work differently for men.<br />Just a suggestion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-21704796856397854962010-12-04T01:20:09.607-05:002010-12-04T01:20:09.607-05:00I once got really pissed off at a guy on the stree...I once got really pissed off at a guy on the street who had made a passing comment to me. So I went after him (he was walking) and told him off.<br /><br />He was with a group of friends, and all they responded with was sort of amazed laughter and "Wow, that guy (sic) just cussed you out using a MACHINE!"<br /><br />(headdesk)Amandahttp://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/noreply@blogger.com
