I found this post on my other wordpress blog and decided it was worth sharing. It’s been 3 years since I wrote this, and funny enough, I can’t seem to learn my lesson. Anyway, like looking at an old diary, it’s fun to see where I was back then. The blog I took the following post is justcallmekate.wordpress.com.
“irritations of 2009
I had a friend apologize to me a couple of weeks ago for being a douchebag, and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what exactly that means. To the guy apologizing it meant that he was sorry for not calling me lately. I think I should have told him that’s not d-bag quality, it’s just “this semester is busy and I couldn’t call you” quality.
Here’s my list of things that count as douchebaggery, all of which have been compiled in 2009. A look back at the things that will get you on the doucher list (at least with me. other girls might be more or less forgiving).
1.Taking a girl on exercise dates (so as she can lose weight, not because you know she loves to exercise).
2.Not locking your car and then blaming your date for getting her purse stolen out of said unlocked car.
3.Telling people that a girl doesn’t meet your standard of perfection WHILE STILL GOING OUT WITH HER.
4.Making fun of a girl’s major.
5.Having a girl drive you around because your car is low on gas and “smells like ham”.
6.Flirting with a girl while still in love with your ex.
7.Telling a girl you’d like to go out with her and then changing your mind because you’re still in love with your ex.
8.Asking a girl out a week after your wife has given birth to your son.
9.Continuing to ask a girl out after she’s told you she’s not interested in married men.
10.Privately emailing/messaging a girl about how beautiful she is while already in a committed relationship.
11.Commenting on a girl’s family in a negative way after the very first meeting.
12.Asking a girl out on a date (est.) and then asking her to pay because “you’re a little short on funds”.
13.Talking about your favorite supermodel/movie star and how gorgeous they are.
14.Talking negative about a girl’s best friends/how she interacts with them. Duh we talk alot.
15.Being obsessed with your own weight.
16.Asking a girl how she’s doing and then not listening to the answer.
17.Lying of any kind.
18.Being prideful or conceited.
19.Using racial slurs/stereotypes.
20.Not caring about a gluten allergy enough to remember what it is.
So, it’s pretty simple; avoid doing these things and you’ll never be labeled a d-bag. Well, at least by me.
Maybe it’s me, maybe I let the guys I date walk all over me and so they think I’ll just forgive their jerk behavior and everything will be okay. You know what though? It’s not okay. I’m really mad. I don’t get why some people think it’s okay to be selfish and never think about how those around them feel. And these guys who I want to say all this to so they can wake up and stop being complete losers? Well, guess what; They are the ones who don’t listen. It’s such a waste and I’m so tired of this.
Here’s my final thought: I’m done with the game. Pursue me if you like, but there’s so much damage that you’ll need a backhoe to get to my heart. The last brick went into that wall around my heart and unless you have a tank and some bazookas, you’re not getting in.”
