All right, most people who have been on the forum here know I am NOT crazy about lesbians. I am fairly indifferent to gay men. However, lesbians carry such negative energy that I can't dismiss it and thus dislike them.
My first run-in with a lesbian was at a place of employment a few years after college in So. Cal. She was my immediate supervisor. I had NO clue she was a lesbian, but how quickly you learn. I just thought she was a woman who preferred short hair and had a thick, squatty frame. We would go to company sites and had to turn in expense reports upon returning from the trip. Even though there was a minimum below which you didn't have to itemize, I tend to be overly detail-oriented and I would itemize stuff like bridge tolls. The bitch called me into her office and said "I'll tell you once, I'll tell you twice, the third time you'll crawl." I would have never dreamed that someone in a professional setting would talk like that. She had a terrarium plant sitting there, which I dreamed of picking up, hurling at her face and ideally maiming her, but I restrained myself.
With this very same sn*tc*, we had to go to Phoenix. She told me to call a number in Las Vegas and ask for Linda, pretending it was a wrong number. I did so. A mannish woman answered and, when I asked for Linda, this woman became angry. I said "you know...Linda...uhm...Martinson." She calmed down and told me I had the wrong number. Evidently, my lesbian boss had a thing for this Linda. She wound up going to Vegas for the intervening weekend. On Monday, I was told to get my luggage, leave the hotel in Phoenix and come back to L.A. since my boss, the lesbian, was in the hospital. (Evidently, she had been beaten up). She was EVIL on two legs. She was fired shortly thereafter.
I have lived in both Seattle and Portland. These are lesbian meccas. Some of the lesbians up there are so unemotive, brittle and sullen. In fact, they seem so icy, I wonder how they even emote enough to show enough interest in another human being, regardless of gender. It's always the same up there: short hair, no make- up, clothes that are not flattering, Navajo type Indian jewelry and ...DRUM ROLL...the Subaru wagon.
In fact, after flying up to Portland on Wednesday night, I said..."I've gotta do a lesbian thread" because I wound up sitting next to one. In fact, she had the seat assignment next to me but chose to sit elsewhere initially, coming back when the plane was filling up! She was probably in her mid 20s. I POLITELY asked if I could get through to use the bathroom. She scowled. I felt like telling her she was a "worthless carpet munching c**t who would go nowhere in life" but I refrained. Yet, on the public transportation to the suburbs to pick up a rental car, a chick in her mid 20s, obviously heterosexual, chooses to sit down next to me and talk to me ALL THE WAY to where I got off, telling me her life story...and I had just been sitting there with my luggage piled up in the back of the light rail car.
Along the same lines, the only troublemaker in our firm, who is hated by everybody including the partners, from what I can see, is an angry but slender tomboyish lesbian.
Bottom line: They suck....not for their sexual preference, but for their general behavior and treatment of others, particularly males. Therefore, I am NOT prejudging because I am discriminating based on a hostile and unsavory personality...the same way I would of any other person (male or female) who has a crappy personality.
Also, if it's any consolation, the angry, unkempt and "rough around the edges" dyke doesn't go very far in life from what I can see. They work in print shops, warehouses and other jobs that won't allow them to make much of a difference in your life.
OK, so:
1) contribute your lesbian gripe stories as you see fit, thanks to my plane ride and the Rosie O'Donnell thread that was started a few days ago, and
2) please do not hijack the thread toward the "gay male" direction since, on this forum, that tends to ignite things...so you are being forewarned.
