I finally couldn't take it anymore and started ripping this guy a new one at the top of my lungs. Dude looked genuinely scared of me, I just couldn't take his cramp anymore. My husband looked shocked because he's normally the one to take care of that crap with a few well placed comments. The guy practically ran from us, and to this day my husband still has not mentioned it.

It's usually half way through my tirade that I ask myself "What are you doing? You don't even really care what this person thinks, their opinion means absolutely nothing to you" and I stop halfway through a sentence and walk off.

Actually, he'd probably welcome it! <br /><br />I agree, I was shocked, too. And especially with the fact that it was delivered in such a way that he SO clearly didn't even know how crazy what he was saying actually was. Which is disturbing and comforting all at the same time.

Tell CB that some random guy (not that random I'm a writer, a dad and I follow your blog, and I'm a teacher too) on the internet thinks that he needs to hug you, look you in the eyes and say he's proud of you. Seriously.<br /><br />There is ~nothing~ wrong with stepping up someone who vocalizes such extremely mysoginist and sexist things and to say "dude, no, that's not cool".<br /><br />I fight my kids every day on this front and remind that while it might have been funny for their dads to joke about over beers watching the game, it's not okay in ~my classroom~.<br /><br />In this day and age there is no reason to believe that any woman in a position of power got there because there was the desire to have "a woman run things". In fact more often than not, a woman is ~More~ qualified because they have to fight against all a-hats and jack-tards who still would rather see "someone they can relate to" in the office across the hall.<br /><br />Personally I'm shocked he was stupid enough to say any of those things out loud and I really do hope that as he continued on his way to work that not only did other people set him straight but that they made it clear he was better off walking to work if that's what he brought to the commuter table.<br /><br />Of course.. all of this should be tempered with the fact that I drive to work, alone.<br />Rob Ostermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226679027078689566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054440755657956327.post-52128966672146019082013-03-13T13:47:49.052-04:002013-03-13T13:47:49.052-04:00Thanks!

Miss Piggy in real life is sort of terrifying. Also, so is the Easter Bunny.<br /><br />And I agree with the whole " you can take the girl out of the Midwest..." thing. I feel that way all the time out here...and I'm so glad I've still got it in me!

First of all, this is hilarious...Holy cow, Becky!! First of all, this is hilarious. Also, that picture of you and Amanda and Miss Piggy just totally took me back! When I was little, my parents threw me a birthday party and had Miss Piggy come as a surprise. Except she was the scariest Miss Piggy ever, which freaked me out and made me cower in fear while screaming until she left. That is not a good looking Miss Piggy!! Miss Piggy is pretty! That pig is creepy! Haha!<br /><br />Sometimes your stories make me want to ride the subway, just for the people experience. But I'm too passionate (and vocal) and I'd likely get into verbal wars too frequently, ending up shanked. This is why I stay away from New York, and remain in Tampa. Tampa is full of Midwesterners. When we offend, we apologize for 5 minutes, and feel guilty about it for the rest of the day, so we then spend ridiculous amounts of time attempting to atone. You can take people out of the Midwest, but it's apparently harder to take the Midwest out of people. <br /><br />Keep up the great work - I look forward to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!!

And since my boyfriend doesn't take the subway to work, sometimes when he is on the subway with me and he acts like one of those people, talking to me WAY too loudly, I want to pretend I don't know him. Is that bad?<br /><br />Second, I often dream of punching people in the face...glad I'm not the only one :) Danidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322120657782166424noreply@blogger.com
