Had to rant…

So yesterday I was walking through the store and I got the dirtiest looks ever from this group of girls. I am use to being looked at funny due to my style, which I can’t really classify lol. I have black hair with pink chunks, my septum is pierced, I have tattoos, and I was wearing a pair of jeans and a black camisole top. What is really wrong with this?

Now normally I would not have any rebuttal bc I do get funny looks a lot, (mostly from Godbots and the elderly) but I found the humor in the fact that these girls were a motley crew, one had gold teeth, at least one had an extra foot and a half of multi colored hair piled on her head, all with long curly nails, and clothes that would be tight on me when they were at least double my size. I don’t get it?

My parents raised me to look past the outer appearance of people and see them for actions and character and not personal appearance. So I have no issues with how anyone wants to look or dress but don’t look at me in disgust because I have my own style. You have obviously painted on your outfit trying to look like an extra in BAPS with ten feet of horse hair on your head.

I am not here to challenge your womanhood; I am here to live my life. Don’t get all catty with me because my pants fit. It’s not worth it. I have no desire to take your man, I can get my own. I wear what I wear to be comfortable, not to impress you. You are the one all dressed up to go to the grocery store. You really think you will land your baby daddy there? Come on!

You are completely rude while I am helping the lady in the wheelchair get some cereal off a shelf she can not reach. You are the one making snide comments to the man who has obviously worked hard all day and all you can do is say how much he stinks. Did you not see that he was holding diapers and formula?? That is a man working hard to support his family.

I listened to you talk amongst your friends about how you didn’t get your “gubment money” on time this month and you were afraid you would have to “get a job” so you could afford to eat….well guess what… I have a job and I rely on ONLY me! Yet I still get the scowl.

Maybe you thought I thought I was better than you? Well after what I witnessed, yes, yes I am better than you because I am a WOMAN who took control of her life and I work hard to get what I want and what I need. There are MANY of us out there. You make me sick with your laziness and relying on MY tax money to support you because you don’t want to get a job.

I know many people of many backgrounds that would agree with me on the fact that you have no right to look down on anyone. As I stated earlier, I try to not make assumptions about people due to how they look but when your mouth, actions, and attitude reflect that of a certain stereotype…it’s hard to dispute it.

That is all. That is my rant. I may or may not piss people off, I apologize if I do but I had to throw my 2 pennies out there…at least I’m not putting them on your eyes.
