Life is full of difficult choices, for example having a Nervous Break Down vs. Being Charged with Aggrivated Battery (WARNING: Bad Experience VENT!)From: Ginger (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 29 Jun 2000 22:22:28 -0500 (CDT)
Hi all. First off, let me thank you for responding to my earlier message regarding my speech. Your stories mean so much to me and have made me feel a lot better than I was a few minutes ago (before I read them). I had such a crappy thing happen to me today. If you're brave enough, read on. I had my class tonight and we discussed our ideas for topics (mine being PCOS). It went really great. My professor and a lot of the students seemed very interested and asked a lot of questions. My speech isn't for another 2 weeks, but they seemed genuinely receptive and were very supportive. Well, I was feeling really good about that and on my way home went through the Taco Bell drive-thru for dinner. It was already after 8:00PM and I knew I could get a taco salad without chips and do ok carb-wise. So, I order my salad & a diet Pepsi. When I get to the window, there are 2 kids working, both boys about 16-17 yrs. old. I pay for my order and then one of them hands me my soda saying "Here's your (yells) DIET! Pepsi, I don't think THAT'S gonna help!!!" Then, he and the other guy start laughing hysterically. My heart dropped to my stomach. Immediately, I figured I had 3 choices: 1. Reach my arm through the window, pull the little punk out by the throat and beat the snot out of him. 2. Go inside and demand to talk to his manager. (heck, it was Taco Bell, he looked about 17 - he could've BEEN the manager!) 3. Ignore him. I chose #3. I was in such shock I could barely think. I then proceded to drive home, alternating between uncontrolable sobbing and cursing like a sailor. I really wish I would have DONE something. And now I'm mad at myself for letting him get away with it! How dare some stranger step into my life for a matter of seconds and jerk my happiness away from me!!!!! UUUGGGGHHHH!!! I had a 30 mile drive home, and by the time I got here I felt like I was going to throw up. My husband thought I had been in an accident or something. I still feel sick and ended up throwing the salad in the garbage. So, now I'm having a sugar crash too!! But, I feel like if I try to eat it's not going to stick around for long. (Sorry about all the graphics, I tried to warn you!) So anyway, I am starting to feel better now just because I wrote it down. I read Paula's post to my earlier message and it about broke my heart because I know that she and I aren't the only ones who have been tormented like this. Sometimes people are so mean it makes me want to pack up my family and move into a cave somewhere. I swear that if anyone ever says something so cruel to my children they will have he** to pay! I grew up going through crap like this - I paid my dues, now I wish people would leave me alone!!!! Ok, if you made it through this mini-novel, thank you. I just had to get all of this out of me, and I feel like you wonderful, beautiful, brilliant ladies are the only ones who could possibly understand how I feel. Thanks for being here. I love you all. Goodnight, Ginger
