I had the most humiliating experience of my life today at work.

127. What a vapid thing to do!

Look, I know that kind of stuff hurts, but consider the source. You got dissed by ... a "MEAN GIRL." Let me tell you something about people like that, when they lose THEIR looks (and hey, face facts, we all get old, we all get wrinkles, we don't look, at fifty, sixty, or seventy, like we did at eighteen or twenty--that's LIFE) they've got nothing to fall back on. There will come a day for Little Miss Ewwwww--and it will be an unpleasant one, too.

The other thing I want to point out is that her clumsy babbling was less about YOU and more about her trying to flirt with your good looking buddy. I'll bet Miss Foot-in-Mouth was hoping to catch the eye of your pal; she went about it the wrong way, she came off as a Meanie.


And as someone who has had so many license, passport, ID and badge pics taken over the years, I can tell you that I can count on one fifth of the fingers of one hand the number of pics I liked. Those cameras emphasize the very worst features, and the horrible thing is, if we get in an accident or get kidnapped or are a victim of a crime, THOSE are the pictures the bastards put up on the nightly news!!!! In dramatic or tragic circumstances, we are publicly shamed--how horrible!

If it's REALLY bugging you, though. that picture? "Accidentally" run that badge through the wash, and then go to personnel and get it replaced. Make sure you have a nice haircut, no zits or black eyes, and your best smile!

And never--EVER--let an asshole get you down. NEVER. Their bad behavior is their problem, not yours. Head up, chin out, shoulders back, and walk like you OWN the place.
