Pretty meh so far, at least until tonight before I got off work: shortly before closing, I had an asshole come up, buy some cigarettes (I work at a gas station), and then and only then after having finished his transaction, turns to me and says, "Just so you know, there're only two genders."
I responded with, "Just so you know, I don't care." and then he flipped me the bird without even looking at me as he was walking away.
This is not the first time this has happened to me, and I try to put on a tough face to these dick-waffles, but honestly, it still hurt me and I hate how I'm emotionally vulnerable to it, even if I don't show it to them. :(
Edit: Hooooly SHIT. The dude just came by today and apologized for his behavior.
I accepted it gratefully and gracefully but godDAMN was I not expecting that. I am...so confused. I am happy...but confused.
I bet the guy wasn't sober when he did that. He probably still thinks that way -- alcohol doesn't make people lie, it makes them far too honest -- but realized the next day that the way he had acted was screwed up.
Balls, if that's the case. Still, at this point, I'll take what I can get. Lol.
It would be great to have a bag of rainbow or trans pride colored gummy candy dicks, so you can tell them to eat a dick (and have some on hand for them!)
Lol, that would cost money they don't deserve to have spent on them. X3
Venting to the internet got you an apology from an asshole, quick, complain about not getting a raise before your luck runs out! 🤯
I need more money! Goddammit the rent is TOO. DAMN. HIGH.
