Blonde Logic
Yes. You can.
Well, ya know we recently spoke here about how LL has given us the confidence to be more assertive? Well, today I used some of that....and earned myself the nickname "Rocky" at work. lol Not sure why Rocky - I guess the ladies said I fought for the underdog and was therefore dubbed.
ANyway - where we eat lunch, two men from the adjoining building eat lunch there every day as well, and a third who distances himself from the groups always.
But when he comes out, he ALWAYS makes a very mean comment to one of the men, with the sole purpose of embrassing him and humiliating him in front of us ladies.
This man is opiniontated, brash, old and unnattractive. He is ugly inside.
THese other two men are, odd. They are by no mens ladies men - both single, and I imagine always have been. Without sounding mean - they were not blessed with good genes, to say the least. But both, are kind, shy, quiet, and friendly - doubt they would ever hurt a fly.
Well, I have had enough of this bullys attempts to embrarass.
TOday, us ladies were having a good old laugh - much more then we ever have before. The man came out from his corner and said, "So, what are all you ladies laughing about - is so and so (referring to one of the nice men) sat here naked? Figure anyone laughing THAT loud would have to be looking at his naked body."
Funny? Nope. And I caught a glimpse of the mans face - you could see the hurt, embarassment and sheer helplessness written all over it.
So - leave it to me.
I said, "Actually, we have been talking about YOU. ANd I might tell you, it's been a very small conversation." <wink wink nudge nudge>
THe room fell deathly silent - He said "oh" and then went dead silent. Had no come back. None of his witty (mean-spirited) retorts. He said not one word - gathered his gear, and left the room.
The man he tried to embarass, had his head bowed, but I could see a grin the size of texas on his face....and that made my day.
I stuned even myself I must admit, and worried afterward that it was mean to say what I said - but I was so sick of seeing him hurt by this man, its every single day, and since he obviously cannot defend himself, I did it for him.
So - that me now - the work fighter for the underdogs....the bully slayer.
Wil be interesting to see how the bully acts tomorrow. When he came to collect our mail, he looked at me, and then quickly looked away. LOL SO maybe he has been silenced.
I do feel kind of bad, but not as bad as I have felt for the other man for months.
I would never have had the confidence to say that before as I would have been terrified at whatever he would have fired back at me. But ya know what - it felt good to make the other one feel that he had others on his side, and that we all were on his side, and that we have always seen right through the others comments.
Was good.
