What do your shorts say about you? That you're a big old hypocrite.

I would just like to take a minute to thank whatever gods can hear me that we judge each other by appearance, rather than something more superficial...

...
hmmm.
...

Today as I walked from the tattoo shop in my super cool pink tattoo shorts (they exist only to give my artist access to my thighs) I was approached by a gentleman (cough-cough-ahem) in a hard hat who hit on me and insulted me all in the same interaction-quite a feat, really.

apparently Mr. construction worker man has a hard time accepting a "no thanks" response to his super-smooth "hey, does your boyfriend let you go out like that? Let me take you out!" B.S.

or maybe saying "no thanks" really does make me a "stuck up whore"... don't know.

Of course, as I was driving away I realized that I could have been being passing judgment based solely on appearance, just like him... I mean, he thought I was a whore based on my hooker-like shorts, and I thought he was a douche based on his dirty wife beater and hard hat with a sticker of the confederate flag on the back. OH THE HYPOCRISY!!!

MAYBE by prejudging him I responded to his "request" in a manner that prompted him to act like a bastard. MAYBE if I had said, "sure, mister, I'd love to let you take me out!!!" We would have ended up getting married and having 100 babies. Now I'll never know.

.dammit.
