So god damn unbelievably angry! wtd?

[bosslady]

So ... you have got passed the anger then ??? All calm again ?? All quiet on the Western Front ??

I got over being angry at the situation awhile ago. Its the dumb ass responses that further annoyed me but I got over that too. I do genuinely think that at least in part they made assumptions about me as I am a young woman which is normal but not fair. He (the guy who did the wof) was also telling me how my front wheel was squeaking a little and I should get it looked at, and I appreciate the feedback and I will but he was telling me it's probably because my front brake pads are new and they probably need wearing in. I said they're not new and he seemed to disagree with me? Until I said that they havent been replaced in the 8 or so months ive had the bike and to my knowledge had never been changed (I got it at 7000k's) at all. I just got a stupid look then ignored. Im sure everyone or most people have had others make assumptions made about them based on the way they look I.e. female + young, doesn't know anything or doesn't dress nice so must be poor etc. Etc. I get it often and im really tired of it.

People make assumptions about me based on the way I look all the time but they are wrong, I am much worse when you get to know me.

So dress nicer, and address people differently if it bothers you.

Otherwise, harden the fuck up.

I was talking in general and giving examples, not expressing my own experiences. I address people well and I dress tidily. But if it suits you to believe I am some unkempt ill mannered little girl then so be it. I suppose you can't be expected to know how it is to constantly be judged on the fact you're young and happen to have a vagina. Of course it bothers me, because it is not fair however rather than harden the fuck up, as you have so eloquently put it, I choose to prove naysayers wrong. Have a beer.

When Anne went into Warkworth Motorcycles years ago to order a brand new GN, the then owner Tim said to her ''and what colour you like it to be''.. his wife Debbie said ''Don't be sarcastic Tim do you know who that is? Anne and her ex opened Warkworth Motorcycles back in the early 80's.

By the way, she bought a red one.

If I was ordering in a brand spanking bike, or cage, I'd expect to be asked my choice of colour.

Did Derek F work for them at any point? He is in a wheelchair now.

Drew knows perfectly well what it feels like to have a vagina.

Ahhh, but not all are created equal in my experience.

We didn't think much of it, the owners wife did.
If I am ever spending a quantity of money on a new bike, I already know what colour it is before I even speak to a sales person.

A short lesson on how to get what you want.
