some men are bastards
I went to the pub today with my friend JJ. I forgot that I had said yes to going out and I had planned a lazy afternoon of washing my hair, doing the roots since the blonde was growing out and watching some DVD’s about WW2. So JJ rocked up and i was sitting in the chair in my not so nice shorts and a tshirt and there she was.
OK. I got changed and dragged my sorry ass to the pub. Some of the guys at work were there and getting drunk and turning into complete pricks as they drank more alcohol. One in particular pissed me off, and after thinking he was funny asking me if I rode a bike, then commented that I was a dyke. So after I tried to hit him and missed, I kicked him under the table. Not very ladylike of me, not mature of me either. But calling me a dyke and laughing in front of my friends was embarrassing and I guess I am oversensitive a little because of X. I sat for the rest of the afternoon wanting to cry and having to fake that I was interested in being there in the first place. I don’t fit in with alot of these people at work. I felt out of place and awkward.
Then him, and some of the others were commenting on chicks walking past, their hot factor, their boob size, if they should have stayed at home and not gone out. It was like a cattle call. When one of my workmates pointed out there were loads of older guys to perve at for me, I was like.. no, no eyecandy here, plus I just don’t stare at men like they are objects to be lusted over. Maybe I need to start doing that. I’d end up being like some of my workmates tho, and makes me wonder what they say about others in the workplace, or even me.
The pub, was OK if you are a young person in their 20s looking beautiful and going there to see people and be seen. I wasn’t dressed like a skank, but I was underdressed compared to some of the people I saw there. I am more of a old style beer garden type of chick, or hanging around in a smokey pub playing pool with friends. There were alot of chicks wearing similar things, and wearing those thongs which are now decorated with sparkles. I’ve seen some great pedicures this afternoon that’s for sure, and some chicks who NEEDED pedicures. I even saw some yuppy style italian men wearing thongs. ick.
That’s all I feel like talking about tonight.
Update:: I got an apology today so I am satisfied.

Without trying to defend your workmates, ogling women is something thats built in to guys. Even if youre not visibly doing it, you’re thinking about it when you see a good looking girl.
HOWEVER, some guys have the added extra of then going.. well looks aren’t everything. SOME GUYS, not all guys!
Ogling is a knee jerk reaction, however I do try and keep it to myself and definitely when there is a female present.

Well these guys were doing it in front of a few women. Including my friend JJ. We found it a little uncomfortable. However we just laughed and left as quick as possible, only staying long enough to be polite!

Those guys sounded like they deserved a beating.
