Girls...girls, girls

Oh ladies. We all know that women are caddy...that's just the way it is. Some of us are less caddy than others, some of us are more caddy than others, but for some reason it is inescapable for us to NOT be caddy.

That said, a friend of mine was telling me this story about how she was sitting around with a couple of female co-workers at lunch chatting it up. Their office is known for employing slightly sarcastic but funny people, who can sometimes take it a step too far. So she's telling me that they're talking about their men, diets, working out, etc and she gets up to get a cup of water and one of the women says, "yeah, your jeans are looking a little tight," and starts laughing. Now, she says it jokingly with this sweet tone like "I'm looking out for you, really I am just telling you the truth", but sheesh, that's harsh and rude and mean all rolled into one. Who says stuff like that!

Then another friend is telling me she works in this office with all these high maintenance late-20s early-30s mostly single women and gay men. And these women are the types who when you get to work in the morning looking a little disheveled because it was windy outside and you didn't have time to put on your mascara, eye liner, lip gloss, lip liner, foundation, powder, bronzer, and perfume, make you feel like a piece of chopped liver. Their "nice" deed of the day is telling you how horrible you look and proceeding to "fix you up." Like you were broken or something. As I'm hearing this story, I'm thinking, "who the hell are these women and they better not come anywhere near me insulting my looks unless they want to retract their bitchy little hands a few fingers short!"

It just makes me think, a lot of women do/say these things in the name of being funny or "helping" you, but really in their heart of hearts what they're saying is, "you're fatter than me" or "you're ugly right now" or "your face isn't good enough all alone." It's just wrong. I hate it when women do stuff like that. It's precisely the reason I wasn't in a sorority and do my best not to live with the extreme caddy girls. Blech...!
