Huzzah for women everywhere!
Huzzah for women everywhere!
This just made me remember a great one from a friend of mine at an appointment with a student health doctor. Her name’s Kate, but for some reason this guy called her Katie. Then when she corrected him, he got a little pissy about it and said something like “Eh, what’s the difference?” She looked at his name tag, which…
This should be in the standard guidebook of: No one cares about your boner.
This was not a verbal retort, but a burn none the less. I was in journalism school and we had a class with the TV students for a unit on TV news that we did together. The TV tutor was an uberbitch. (Our tutor was cool).
While waiting at a coffee shop for my order, I watched a guy act like a complete asshole to the woman making his drink. My rage built with every word that came out of his disgusting yuck mouth, but I told myself not to make a scene at a place that my ultra conservative coworkers frequent. At some point during his…
I created an account just so I could comment on this, because I’ve been saving up this story.
I’m a lawyer, and at the time of this incident was practicing in several fairly small and rural Southern counties. I’d been out of law school for 2 or 3 years, long enough to be tired of the crap I would fairly regularly get from some older male lawyers. I had a trial in the neighboring county, and my opposing counsel…
I taught at a Junior High and one of my students had a father who was an honest to goodness self proclaimed white supremacist. The California state educational guidelines say that we need to teach some basics about the history of Islam, and I agree that its important. This dad was not pleased. He confronted me once in…
Is it that obvious?! I grew up in Europe. Our sex ed wasn’t perfect, but I think anyone trying to pitch abstinence-based programs in my home country would be laughed right out of the office.
I’m a very tall lady — 6’2” to be exact. As such, I’ve attracted my share of insecure men who haaaaate it that I am taller than them and aren’t shy about letting me know it.
So there was this guy who would always sexually harass me on my way home from work. I’d get off the train and walk by this auto repair shop. This motherfucker didn’t even work at the shop — the shop owner described him as a “parasite” who loitered outside of the shop trying to buy up junkers and always hollering at…
Are you a Bluth? Damn.
You didn’t “burn” the cop by any stretch of the imagination, and you didn’t use it “perfectly” in context. He wasn’t making some insult to which you gave a witty comeback, you were just a drunk asshole he was stopping from killing anyone else.
About 10 years ago (when smoking in bars was still a thing) I was being aggressively hit on by some dude at a bar in front of his friends, then he asked me for a cigarette. I leaned back in my barstool, reached into my purse for a cigarette, lit it, blew smoke in his face without breaking eye contact while his friends…
A little snot in my graduate program used to try to make people feel small with passive aggressive comments/judgments.
I just remembered a great one! Last month, my friend - who is the chillest, least confrontational, most mild-mannered person in the whole world - was visiting Israel and he ran into some German lady who was like, “Why can’t there just be peace?” My friend was all, “Yeah, totally” (my friend and I are both Jewish but…
Fairly recently me, my siblings and my parents were sitting around and in a sign of how we can now all talk like adults we were sort of telling “The most fucked up I’ve ever been” stories and my sister, who had a bit of a wild adolescence, tells a pretty horrific story. My mother, who was the least enthusiastic about…
Ooh, this one will be fun! The first story coming to my mind is one I have told on here before, but I’m sure it will be new to most of you:
