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

178. dude, do NOT play her game!!

i completely understand your feeling put down by this, and am so sorry and embarrassed for the entire gender that it happened to you.
but hey, she did something you would not dream of doing, to anyone, or anything like it!

THIS MAKES HER THE REPULSIVE ONE!!

truly!

i know i could have never thought of a snappy comeback fast enough at the time, either - especially when you're so stunned at the inhumanity - but something like this might have put her back in her place:

"oh look, you seem to have dropped your badge of honor and integrity, with those ribbons of human decency. let me get .... oh dear, too late. it's gone down the gutter drain. so sorry for your loss; i wonder how you might ever recover that, especially as it appears you might have never really possessed it in the first place."

oh my; i could go on, and then make myself an even bigger hypocrite.

but, you get the picture. mainly, don't buy into that whole thing, really. you might feel bad about it, but only because you've allowed this to become important to you at such a high stakes level. y'know, F*** that! who needs it? it only breeds the kind of misery you're suffering now. someone will always be better looking (even than brad pitt, for example), and someone less so. none of us needs this stupid pecking order! get out there and BE U, and be proud about it!
