... don't say anything at all. We've all heard that saying, but some people still have trouble adhering to it. Wednesday night, I find myself at a local happy hour hosted by a BDSM group that I occasionally participate in. The majority of folks there are freaking awesome. As I found out that night, however, not everyone is.
A young lady... a now former acquaintance of mine, heard from me for the first time that my cat had passed away a week before Christmas. Her exact words to me were, "Good riddance. I hate cats." Perhaps not surprisingly, I was absolutely stunned. I told her not to say that again and then walked away. It took me a bit of time before I processed just how furious that comment made me.
I went home around midnight but decided to send her a note before going to bed. Frankly, I was well in control of my temper. I wanted to say something along the lines of breaking some teeth the next time I heard something like that. What I awoke to the next day was a one-liner of an apology... "I apologize for being harsh." That, folks, is when I cut all ties. I mean, fuck, I expected something a little more sincere.
It amazes me that some people seem to have no moral compass... that they just don't give a shit. I don't need people like that in my life. There will be a day when that swine of a woman says something to the wrong person and ends up getting her face bashed in. And you know, she probably deserves it.
