Dear Woman trying to make an example out of me to her daughter,
While I understand that you caught me at a "low" point in my retail career, (doing the store a favor by taking out some trash), and how that might have given you the assumption that I am of low stature, it does not however make me deaf. Therefore as a piece of advice next time you feel the need to exclaim to your teenage daughter "That's what happens when don't go to college," you might want to try using your indoor voice. I would also suggest switching from an obvious pointing gesture to something a bit more subtle, like a head nod.
I'd next like to point out the fact that while you obviously think I am ill educated, you yourself don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. Along with your tact, it seems quite clear that you have forgotten that little jingle they teach you in high school. "when you assume you make an ass out of you and me." Although in this occasion you really just made an ass out of yourself. Despite your need to publicly point out my apparent lack of intelligence, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, figuring that in order for you to make such a harsh judgement, that you must have some sort of college degree yourself. While I would very much like to know from what University and in what major, I'll leave that conversation for another time.
I think you'll be more than shocked to know that I too am an educated woman, and I am willing to bet that I'm even more educated than you. Now that's not an assumption, that's an actual hypothesis I created on a little bit of research I did. By analyzing the rude way you think it's okay to talk down to people, and your tawdry way of doing it, combined with what appears to be your feeling that your status is so beyond mine you can't even address me like a fellow human being, I can reasonably conclude that you are a fucking idiot.
My concerns over your comment are as follows: First and foremost I am absolutely appalled that you think I look old enough to have completely thrown my life away. What should I be doing (at TWENTY FOUR) that would be considered a more respectable lifestyle? Curiously what career path did you chose that allows you to wander low end retail parking lots in the middle of the day? Judging by your salon-ed hair, designer clothes, stuck up attitude, and giant rock glimmering off your left finger, you really put that "college degree" to use. Secondly where the hell were you raised that gives you the audacity to make comments like that out loud? I'm pretty sure they have a word for women who marry for money, can't shut their mouth, and have a complete lack of class....
It's clear that you have a colorful assortment of character flaws that need to be worked out, starting first and foremost with your delusional idea that we're functioning on some sort of Valley Caste System and you're the one sitting at the top. Retail is not in any way synonymous with uneducated. Though it hardly requires the credentials and qualifications needed for "Gold Digging Housewife," we still manage to go to college and *gasp* even pursue higher degrees. So next time you see me toting trash out the back door, take my advice, lean over to your daughter and repeat after me, "That's what happens when you're being a decent human being." That will at least give us a small fleck of hope that she won't turn into the same steel hearted bitch bimbo that you turned out to be.
Love,
just some illiterate girl.
