How not to be an arsehole 101
Jul. 28th, 2009 01:37 pmDear all,
Just in case anyone missed the memo, you have no right whatsoever to comment on the eating habits of strangers.
Dear random man in the uni offices,
( cut for possible ED triggers )
Please ask yourself why you think it is appropriate to comment on the eating habits of strangers. When you realise that the answer is because you feel no power in your own life, and thus feel the need to exercise power over strangers in order to cope with the meaninglessness of your own existence, then I suggest you join a political party or lobbying group and leave my eating habits the fuck alone.
Best,
Emma.
(As an aside, why is it always older men (50+) who appear to feel that they have this right? They're always the ones who think that they can demand I smile for them, as well. Patriarchy In Action, or just a generational thing?)
