I liked to think that people
aren't judgmental
petty
and willing to shut a person down
just because of one thing
but that's not true
A girl contacts me on craigslist to buy something
I say sure
but I can only meet up in a certain area area
Sure I could have compromised but in all honesty, I don't want to take the bus for 1 hour just to meet up with a stranger
especially if there are other buyers interested
When she suggests that I should let her know if I want to find a place for both of us or just to sell to the next person, I do just that
I tell her I'd rather let the next person of interest get it.
To which she responds
thanks for wasting my time
And this makes me think
of the whole power-dynamic struggle over whose time is more valuable
and what jumped up her anal canal to response so rudely
yes I suppose it was a "waste" of time
but seriously?
Was that necessary
To which I responded by deleting all her emails and putting her address on a block list
no need to get a surprise virus
And that
is a problem
where we think just because they're strangers
we can act as though they are of a lesser person
of a lesser being
and I use we
because that's me in there
right along with the rest of us
who have a shitty ass time trying to be nice to people
when they're too busy being assholes to the rest of us
I really hate university right now
I hate living on residence
Just nothing makes me happy anymore?
