Have a little tact, bitch

Lady, if I had balls I’d tell you to lick them until they had no hair. The thing is, I’m not sure if you’re aware just how rude you really are. Or if you know, bitchfreak, and think we’re too stupid to get that we’re being insulted.

I mean, the native language of half the department is not English. Despite that, I am truly amazed by both of their abilities with the language. They switch back and forth, they think in either language. I know that because I’ve worked with them for a year and gotten to know them fairly well. Yes, there are occasional problems with written grammar. Hell, you’re not perfect either, but you sure think you are. The condescending manner in which you said “I’m sure it’s hard to write in English when you think in Spanish” really pissed off the highly intelligent man you said it to. This is a man who has worked hard to become fluent. He knows he doesn’t write perfectly, but he still works to improve it. It doesn’t need to be thrown in his face, because he is sensitive about it.

Or when I was talking about getting my old car back. No, it doesn’t have air conditioning. I don’t have a problem with driving the EZ bake oven around, because I love that car and I’ve missed it for years. But for you to say that driving a car without AC around could help me lose weight? I know I’m not skinny. I probably never will be. I have struggled with my weight all my life, and you didn’t see me 2 years ago or see the struggles I’ve been through since them to bring my weight down to where it is not. I’ve thought that I look a lot better than I did then. I’m no model, but then, I don’t want to be.

Think before you speak. Think about how it will really sound before you say it. If you still think it’s a good idea, fine, but don’t expect me to put up with it.

It would be the height of ironic stereotyping if this bitch of whom you speak was blonde and said stuff like “Y’know?” a lot.

As such, however, you have my sympathies. I often pride myself on being blunt when I have to be and being tactful when I should be (but hey, even I, the Great and Malignant SPOOFE, slip occasionally).

This remark brings to mind the SNL skit, “Passive-Aggressive Pam”, about the office bitch who always has something “helpful” or “complimentary” to say, like “I wish I were funky enough to wear clothes from thrift stores. It’s a great look on you, though!”

I’m always at a loss when this shit happens; if you find an effective way to deal with this bitch that doesn’t involve career-limited moves, please share it with us. Until then, good luck.
