Why oh why?

[ 0 ] 02/11/2009 |

You’ve got to be effing kidding me.  Seriously. 

Why do people continue to open their mouth and insert their foot?  In a big way?  And this time, in regards to me? 

I went to the nail salon today for a much needed pedicure.  I haven’t had one since before the baby was born.  I didn’t schedule an appointment as this was a last minute stop.  My normal girl wasn’t there today, so I got someone else who obviously doesn’t know me.

I sit down in the chair, dip my feet in the water.

The girl turns to me and the first question out of her mouth is:

WHEN ARE YOU DUE?

Seriously.  I wanted to bitch slap her right then and there.  Instead, I composed myself and spat out:

I’M NOT.  I HAD A BABY FOUR MONTHS AGO.

Then, then, THEN, she added insult to injury and says:

OH, YOU TRYING TO LOSE THE BABY WEIGHT, HUH?

I’m telling, you took every ounce of reservation in me not to haul off and smack her. I wanted to drag her outside and kick her skinny booty.  I didn’t, but I wanted to.  I mumbled something and then thankfully, my cell phone rang and it was Christy.

How is it that someone who doesn’t even know you can put a damper on your day?  Why are people so stupid with their words?  Why?  Why?  WHYYYYYYY?
