Do you ever accidentally respond very angrily and you don't mean to, thus scaring the wits out of some innocent?

― Mandee, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

HEY, WHY AREN'T THERE ANY NEW GODDAMN ANSWERS?!!?

― Mandee, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you're scaring the wits out of me. at least.

I think if I ever respond very angrily I totally mean it. sometimes I regret it afterwards. but at the time I totally mean it. no accidents here.

― RJG, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Unrelated to question but related to title: once last year I was wearing a t-shirt and a sweater, and I took off the sweater, and a boy who's a lot bigger than me put it on. It looked very stupid because it was too small so I said, "Take off my shirt!" Of course everyone took that to mean I wanted him to take off the shirt I was wearing, so I said, "Take off my RED shirt!" That is now the embarrassme phrase, said in a high indignant voice. (Now I can finally say I, too, have posted to ILE and regretted it later.)

Related to question: Yes, it's a family thing.

― Maria, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*raises hand* I have, indeed. Usually after some sarky comment I've made, the person goes, "I was just kidding!" As you may be able to tell, this happens to me, a lot;>

Do you mean "It's a RED tank top" as in how could you even consider wearing such a thing? Cos I do have one, but it was a present and I only wear it to sleep and I try to save myself by calling it a singlet. It has a devil on it. Does that help?

do you only get angry about clothes or just mainly get angry about clothes or get your most angriest about clothes?

I thought this thread was referring to Felicity and I's East Village shopping trip last Saturday:

At Tokyo 7

Felicity: Can I see that Dolce&Gabanna bag please?
Clerk #1: It's not D&G. < /scorn>
Clerk #2 Yes it is. It's Dolce&Gabanna.

Score: Felicity

At nameless lingerie store

Felicity: How much is this?
Clerk: What's your size?
Felicity: _____
Clerk: It's a set.
Felicity: But they each have separate tags.
Clerk: Yeah, but you still have to buy it as a set.

Score: Clerk.

At 99X

Mary: Oh look Fred Perry! [looking at pleated skirts]
Clerk: It's not Fred Perry.
Mary: Oh I thought I saw a Fred Perry tag.
Felicity: Oh it's these pants that have that tag.

Score: Clerk

Eva,

Cooper and I are working on a new ballet that is on FIRE. I mean, red hot! There is brief nudity. Can it get any hotter than that? Like always, I will be wearing my red ballet shoes to match my red tank top.

― Jody Sawyer, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Girls, Girls, Girls... tsk tsk tsk. I just sign online to check my e-mail and look who I find--my principle dancer and my favorite chain-smoking ballet bitch.

When are you two going to grow up and look on the bright side of life? Jody, honestly, the red tank top schtick is getting old. I think we need to move on to brighter, more naive colors--like purple! Purple supposedly symbolizes royalty. Wear it proud, you know? Just dance how you feel it. That's the only trick there is to ballet.

Allright then, I'm off to fuck another one of my students... be good, you two.

There's sort of a WTL (white trashy lady) in my office and she's always complimenting my clothing, which sort of.. I dunno, makes me think I might not dress that great.

― Mandee, Tuesday, 29 April 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm always having reactions like that. Like if I get to a line or an escalator the same time as someone else, and we both stop and they motion for me to get on, my mental response is "Goddamned fucking right." I mean, this is sociopathic.

My god. I like clothes but I am so not like that about what other people look like or wear. (Unless they are stupidly rude, like that woman was to di). Kind of like how Ned knows everything about music but he is not mean about the tastes of others.

It was a time thing. Like if someone asks for your precious time they should appreciate that you didn't HAVE to do that, you know? The cruelest thing you can do to someone is ignore them.

No, she and her friend were perfectly sweet. I am the one who had the psychopathic reaction.

My most irrational angry reaction involved a boyfriend I had already been trying to break up with knocking over my Christmas tree. The reaction that would be rational would've probably been picking up the tree or maybe even yelling at him for being clumsy. I hauled off and punched him in the face. It all worked out for best because he broke up with me over my "anger problem".

Like, a month later.

I went to Yama sushi restaurant, following the Jane Birkin, killing time to wait for some people who were in BROOKLYN and never returned. There was a lovely sushi bar that no one was sitting at and the host asked me, "Would you like a table?" I said, "Can I sit at the bar?, gesturing toward it. He said, "Would you like a table?" I repeated, "Could I sit at the bar?" (perhaps he hadn't understood me). He said, "Would you like a table?" more forcefully and I said, "Yes, perhaps a table would be better."

I had an exchange similar to Mary's above, recently, at the bagel store. Counter-man asked about my bagel/lox/tomato/scallion cream cheese sandwich, "do you want onion"? I say "scallion cream cheese, lox and tomato." Counter-man says, "do you want onion"? I say "tomato." He says, "do you want onion?" I say, "... sure."

I didn't get onion.

Me (snooty tone, ready to be a bitch and get some stuff for free!): Uhh, I’m calling to let you know the On Demand! Feature of my digital cable hasn’t worked since September. I called in September to notify you and I was told it would be fixed within a week. It’s still not fixed.

Customer service rep (nasally voice, slightly nerdy and high-pitched): So... let me get this straight. You’re On Demand hasn’t been working since September and you’re just now calling?

Me: Uhhh.. I’ve been traveling a lot for work!! (not true, btw)

When I was younger I had this other friend with whom we fought all the time, except that we used to get into physical fights. One time she hit me so hard the lens of my glasses fell of, and one other time she stabbed a fork in my hand (not deep, but it left marks). I never minded hitting her back, though, because she was almost my size and in better shape than me, and I believe in, you know, gender equality and all.

i lived on an island, everyone rode bikes instead of cars (they were forbidden), and there was a little hill called "Bunker Hill" near the school. most children had to ride past Bunker Hill on their way to school. my friend and i staged "fights" on top of the hill, during which we would throw eachother down, stomp on eachother, push eachother down the hill, all for the sake of entertainment. once we made a girl who stopped to look fall off her bike.

I had a run-in in the Old Navy at Tyson's today. I needed some professional semi-professional clothes for a conference I am going to, and turned up short at Esprit, H&M, Gap, Banana, Urban Outfitters and Free People. In addition to the shopping nightmare I was already tired because I'd been in class from 930-12. Luckily I found some cheapies at Delias. I was at the end of my rope and went into the Old Navy store just before I was going to go to my car. They appeared to have some stuff that would do, and was well priced of course. But all the clothes were so meshed together in no order that it was very difficult to find the size and color of the garment you wanted. I was looking at these striped-button downs, and my hands were full with all this other stuff I was carrying, and every time I moved a shirt to try and see the size, the one at the front would drop off the rack because they were way to crammed in together. Meanwhile, this annoying sales girl makes a point of *adding* more shirts to these stupid racks while I am standing there, bumping in to me and saying excuse me but like cycling around every five minutes. Finally, every time I checked a shirt I took it off the rack and put it on top of the nearby sweater display. She came up to me and asked rudely, "Did you want these shirts?" I sort of exploded: "No! There's no room for them here!" nad pointed to the full racks. She didn't say anything but placed them on the above rack, the one no one can see or reach easily . She also placed some pants I had decided against up there, but then I waffled and decided maybe I did want them anyway, and reached up to pull them down, and in doing so had to move the shirt. She came up out of nowhere from behind me and said, "So you did want that shirt after all?" (like she had caught me out). I said firmly and rudely, "No, I want the pants. Thank you!" The thank you was really loud and dismissive and more like "fuck you!" and get out of my face. I basically work in customer service all day and am used to getting shit from the customers, but am not happy to be attacked by a clerk. For the first time in my life I actually thought of "going to her manager" but then all things considered, her wages, the likely moronness of the manager, etc., it wouldn't be worth it, so I took the high road. The price we pay for $30 pants.
