the biotic criminal leaned against one of the walls, her arm’s crossed over her chest as she kept her eyes down. a slight blush on her checks as the other women answered her. “ I’ve got this problem… and I’m not to sure how I should handle it…”

ok that’s fucking ridiculous i would not have been as polite. i mean, i have the same relationship with my dude friends as i do with my chick friends, and we all use the same kind of greetings with each other. we flirt like mad and it means nothing

"Hello, handsome."

"Hey, sexy."

Well, I didn't see him - I had my back to the door , paying the check- so he just came up behind me and said that and I was like "OH WOW HI" without replying the way I normally do, and we had just started talking, and out of fucking nowhere this random woman just interrupts and is like "Excuse me, are you going to let him talk to you that way?"

Me: "Um..." Woman: (to him) "That was so disrespectful. You should *never* talk to a woman that way." Me: "Oh, no, it's okay, we're friends!" Woman: "And you let your 'friends' talk to you that way? You're not offended?"

At this point my friend and I start talking at the same time, kind of trying to laugh it off and explain, and I hear this woman say something about "letting your sexuality diminish your power", at which point the very little patience I already have for this conversation runs out, and I'm pretty much fucking done with being polite.

Me: "You know, it's a compliment coming from a friend, the same way I compliment him. If someone says something that offends me, I tell them--"

Woman: "Well, so do I, and that offended me."

By now I'm pretty much ready to get into it with this woman, but my friend played it off really well and just was like "WELL YOU HAVE A NICE DAY", said goodbye to me, and went and got a table, and I was just like okay fuck it I'm done, I'm not going to convince her of anything, let her think she did something worthwhile today, and left.

You know what. I like being complimented on my looks. It does not fucking diminish any sort of power. It makes me feel good. It boosts my self-esteem to know that someone else thinks I'm attractive. This was not some creepy dude shouting cat calls from a street corner. My friend has never been anything but respectful to me; I treat him like a person, he treats me like a person. It's really very simple.

When did people get so damn eager to find something offensive everywhere they look. This is just absolutely ridiculous, and when we obsess over these trivial issues, it takes time away from real issues, like real harassment.

oh my gosh she’s so gorgeous…

ilu so much oh my god. if this makes you feel bad, i could tell you my ‘wet floor sign’ story

one time I was trying to get cookies out of a really old vending machine and the number was 14 so I put quarters in and hit 1 and 4 and instead of cookies some Frito chips came out so I tried it again but I tried to hit the numbers faster. the same thing happened. I tried hitting them at the same time and THE SAME THING HAPPENED.

then I noticed that there was actually a "14" button a little further down

and let’s be real it’s way better to just carpool or use public transportation anyways. if i lived somewhere i could take buses or trains or taxi i would do that in a heartbeat.
