See, the thing about assholes

these days is first of all, there are about 900 different varieties. Some are particularly ripe and unwelcome, like the one I encountered TWO NIGHTS AGO WITH ELIZABETH AT THE TATTOO SHOP. YES THAT'S RIGHT. SOMETIMES COOL PEOPLE CAN BE ASSHOLES TOO.

Yes, even tattoo artists! It is frightening, I know, to think of someone in such a laid back position being a throbbing dickwad, but it happens, let me assure you.

See, one of the ripest kinds of assholes are the kinds that insist on arguing with you on something they know jackshit about, even though you have clear reliable resources backing your reasoning.

So let me set the scene. Our friend is getting a tattoo done while me and Elizabeth and another chick (sorry, she's totally irrelevant though and will never be mentioned again, funny how some people are that way, it's okay I'm that girl too sometimes, anyway) are the only ones in the waiting room cuz like the shop is closed. And there are two tattoo artist guys.

So we're all blabbing to each other about random shit and then Elizabeth and I start going off about the documentary Tapped that we didn't know the other had seen - it's the one about bottled water and how YOU ALL NEED TO STOP BUYING/DRINKING IT IMMEDIATELY SERIOUSLY THOUGH stop being an asshole! Lol, that's another breed, the kind who will still drink bottled water after watching Tapped! You should find out if you're one of those honestly.

ANYYYYWAYYYYY, so we're going back and forth about bottled water and why it's shitty....oh and I remember why, it's because they had asked me about finals so I mentioned my environmental justice class and as always, everyone is like "der dahh dahhh wahhhht?" but like it's amazing because rather than being coherent about asking questions about that class, I feel like literally everyone turns into a drooling idiot and can't understand my quick breakdown of the basic concept (minority communities are targeted by waste industries and the likes because they are less likely to protest than affluent white communities and are therefore wayyy more impacted by pollution and shit, etc). I mean not everyone of course, but ....a lot of people!!


ANYWAYYY!!!! So I'm talking about environmental injustice, and Elizabeth and I are going off about bottled water, and I start saying how Americans need to limit our waste because we have too much impact on the world, one of the stupid tattoo artists was like "Nahh Americans don't have any power at all are you kidding me we're like owned by China, there's nothing left for us to do" as in he was COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTANDING WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

So I'm like "Uh right but like we're 5% of the world's population and contribute 20% of the waste" and I mention all the plastic in the pacific ocean and one fucking guy goes "I don't understand why people get so worked up about the ocean though like we've got a lot more problems than the ocean why does it matter" while the other tattoo guy brilliantly adds "I mean, I was sick all the time when I was younger but guess what I never get colds now! So like, about chemicals from the plastic and shit, I'll just develop an immunity to it so I don't think it's that much of an issue."

See these are the people who insist on priding themselves for not going to college and furthering their education - WOW CONGRATULATIONS I HAD NO IDEA THAT THAT WASN'T THE PLAN FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING IN THE UNIVERSE, WOW YOU DEFY THE ODDS OF SOCIETY DON'T YOU PAL, WHAT A FREE THINKER, - meanwhile they don't have the balls to say anything like "good for you" to anyone who does further their education, even though that's exactly what they expect to hear in return to "Yeah I am a tattoo artist and can do this for the rest of my life while other suckers are investing in an education that may or may not get them a job hahaha what absolute MORONS man I'm awesome I'm gonna go suckle some BPA-contaminated water because like, I will develop an immunity against it haha aren't you excited for me to procreate!!!"

Like, I have nothing against people who don't go to college okay? OBVIOUSLY I HAVE NOTHING. BUT I HAVE A SHIT LOAD OF SOMETHINGS AGAINST BUMFUCKS WHO CAN'T SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN TWO SEMI-EDUCATED(ER) GIRLS COME IN TO TELL THEM ABOUT SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW.

Is it a sexism thing? Of course it is. These guys have tattoos omg! on themselves and one guy even did a drawing of a dick-tree on another dude! Wow!! I imagine several naked women have been drawn on guys who haven't seen a real naked woman (at least who looks as good as the one needled into their arm) in ages. Just a theory. Point is, some guys have a reeeeeeeeaaaaalllll issue when ladies come into their territory and start revealing information that, if not immediately rebutted, would result in them having to actually change some life habits. And fuck that because like, society man!!! Right?

Yeah!!!!


Hehe have a good sunday everyone!!
