pet peeve of the day:

personal space invasion - for the record, i'm not one of those touchy feely chicks (unless i'm drinking/drunk, then i'm a freaking st. bernard puppy on crack) - it's not like i'm obsessive compulsive or germphobic, it's just that, under most circumstances, i don't like being touched.

this morning, i'm in the kitchen, brewing my green tea and minding my own business when i was practically molested by this lady from the accounting department. yes, my shirt is slightly low cut and yes, it does expose a centimeter or two of the tattoo on my chest, but no, it's not okay to touch my tattoo, even if you're cooing about how much you like it. and then, as if that weren't enough, she reached over and plucked a stray thread off of my butt. (my immediate reaction? "i need an adult, i need an adult") was i wrong to feel violated?

  • So she totally violated your space - especially w/ the picking of the hair off of your butt - I think I would've looked at her cross-eyed like she was a crazy person. Also I just wanted to say that I randomly came across your blog & I love it...you have a great sense of humor that comes across in your writing. Thanks for the smile.

  • See, call me mean, but I'd have said something like "While you're down there, I have a hemorrhoid that needs a good squeeze" or something equally offensive.

    Or -

    Reach up like you were going to pull a stray hair from her upper lip, and say "oh, sorry, that one's attached."

    On the cuddling front: I'm touchy feely sometimes. I mean, I like to be hugged and shit, but lately it's more like "Just leave the cash on the dresser and get the hell out."

  • In order for us (your readers) to avoid a blog titled "oh and you are all bastards" i think you meant "drunk" ; ) we all know you can spell. No worries, your ego should still remain intact.
