Why ASS-uming things is bad

[tropicsgoddess]

People who are intolerant of homosexuals should be shot, thrown into a bucket of salt, shot again, then left in the desert...

I'm sorry you were treated that way, and the worker had no right to say something like that to you. Even if she thought that's what would happen, a nice 'only 1 person allowed in the changing room' would've been okay. NO way would a comment like that fly by me.

I agree (and I'm a heterosexual female with gay and lesbian friends) . That was uncalled for and unprofessional of her to say something like that. What a bigoted ignoramus!

Yeah, I've had similar problems with my dad, although it was more funny than offensive. He looks younger than his 45 years, I look older than my 19. And we're very close, we tend to hold hands and call each other "honey" and "dear". (Mind you, I call everyone "dear", but it's hard to tell that if you only see me once...)

Anyways, so a few years back I needed a new matress, so my dad and I went shopping at a nearby store. (It wasn't any big brand store, just discounted furniture, mainly mattresses, which worked fine for me. ) We spent about an hour or so looking around, it only took so long 'cause my dad was also looking for something we could put my sister's TV and videos in.

We finally decided on a mattress I liked that wasn't too expensive, and we told the nice lady at the desk which one we'd take, and we had our van with us now if we could find some way to get it on there?

Somewhere in the conversation the lady mentioned that she hoped "you and your wife like your new mattress." We were both stunned for a moment because this hadn't happened before (although it's happened a few times since) and then tried to politely explain that he was my dad and not laugh at the poor woman. She was very embarrassed, but polite about it. Dad and I still like to tell the story.

Littering is bad, even in the desert. Please find and use a proper receptacle for the trash.

Yeah, this sounds like one of those things that could only happen at Wally World.

I was trying to resist this kind of post, but I'm going to anyway.

I prefer to pity them, then express my tacit disapproval of their outdated views. Otherwise, how will they learn?

Personally, I don't care what you do, or who you do it with, as long as it don't confront me none.

Ever since getting my hair shorn butch short for chemo I've had random people calling me a lezzie. Saturday night, movie theater, SatC, with tons of ladies dressed up in pretty little dresses tripping along on high heels, and me, getting the lesbian label loudly whispered all around me with my 1/4 inch hair missing chunks dressed in sweat pants, a tee and big old crocs. Wanna guess who was comfy all movie long and who wasn't?

You should have turned around and yelled "I have cancer!!!"

Bet that would have shut them up.

[Evil Queen]

yeaaaa.... we'll go with that.

OMG, are you Matt?!

(I highly doubt you are, as this forum doesn't seem to be something he would go to. otherwise; does the name "Luren" mean anything to you?)

I was in Vicky's one time . . .and yes I watched a woman open the door . . .her male friend join her . . . sound of unzip and pants drop . . . (so it doesn't matter what the combo of genders - only one to a room unless assistance is needed)

It was fun to very loudly announce that there was a minor in another dressing room that could hear them. (yup I can be mean like that)


As for being at Sex in the City . . .I have to say I enjoyed the 3 good looking males next to me (hello really good looking in my part of the world - I have the wrong toys for that sand box) there is a bit with a good looking male cleaning - I laughed when I heard all 3 go "yummy" at the same moment. (assumption confirmed)

Hmm- I would have said really loudly - "I am so glad they had the story line with Samantha dealing with people judging those going through chemo"

You look like my friend Matt. But... less... masochistic.

I told you you were cute! But did you believe me? Noooooo.

[Samaliel]

Seriously, tho, dressing rooms should be one-to-a-customer. Keep it simple, keep it fair. 'Cause you really don't want people going into the dressing rooms, regardless of gender/species combinations, and doing "things".

I'm pretty sure it's the common rule around here. 1 person = 1 room. Period.

[Lingering Grin]

There I even updated my Profile song for you guys... my old one was deleted... lol

I even posted a blog for you guys!

[Lingering Grin]

Well, now he needs to post a pic so we can know for sure...

There, but don't spam me, I rarely check it.... also the only pictures I have on there after I grew my goatee are of me painted as a Zombie...

Also, all the pictures are like a year or two old at least, maybe more (shows you how much I update it). Also, only like 1/100th of my friends are actually on MySpace. You wanna see them go searching through Warren of www.MyLoveMyLustMyEverything.com. (Shameless plug) He's #8 on my friend's list.

I kept the facial hair, I like it,

That sucks. I've been through something like that at a couple resturants. It seems everytime me and a friend go out for a girl's day we get mistakened for a lesbian couple. One waitress was practicly pushing us out of the table. I swear the woman was there every 5-8 minutes asking us if we wanted dessert. We thought about sharing just to weird the woman out, but ended up ordering separate desserts and taking our time eating them.
