I Am So Ugly
"You look retarded"...had been a while since someone told me that...
A group of people were chatting next to my cubicle, among them Colombina and Arlecchino, about inane stuff to which I paid no attention as I was busy doing nothing, until Arlecchino directed a question to me..."Hey <insert clown name here>, are you married?" to which I replied with a dry "No", and he continued "You have a girlfriend then?" , to which again I replied, "No, I don't have a girlfriend/lover/whatever...". Jokingly he continued "why? don't tell me you're gay?". With a smile I quietly replied "No, I'm just to ugly...", only to have Colombina turn to another girl next to her and continue my sentence "...and retaaard..." while twisting her mouth and making the motion of someone drooling. She and her friend exploded into laughter. Ouch....
Arlecchino got nervous and just told everyone they should go get coffee, and so they left. He was probably worried that I would raise a complain about bullying, e since it's been quite an issue recently here in the office, but nah...
I guess as long as I'm not reminded of this my mind has no issue, but as soon as someone whose opinion I slightly care it goes into denial mode and more hilarity ensues...
To try and let go of this I decided to seek refuge and escapism in cat pictures and this side of the internet. I was trying to reconnect a bit with this friend I have known from the past two years, from back in the days of that place of fable and legend. We had a long conversation and at some point she bugged me about showing her a picture since I knew what she looked like and she didn't. I warned her but she insisted, and in what I consider a lapse in my usually feeble judgement, I caved in to the request. I was at this fancy Japanese restaurant, abusing their free wifi while in the table in front mine were three beautiful ladies who paid no mind to my presence. I foolishly took a picture of myself at that moment and uploaded it, then let her know. She looked at it and a few seconds later her reply was "Oh wow!" followed by a comment I won't write down here, and then swiftly proceeded to remove contact with me. Damn, lady, I warned you. yay I guess...
Now, what was I talking about? 🤔 ah yes...and that kids, is how I won the war 😀
