minor things that make you fume

[Toast]

Getting in to work at 6.30am so I can have a little bit of time to relax and have a cup of coffee and every morning the same ball bag sits in my office and talks utter guff at me for about half an hour, and won't take anything for a hint.

Start scratching your balls mate.
Say " that brass last night was rough, hope I haven't got crabs again.. "

Sorted.

He will probably ask for a sniff. Don't do that

I was not offended, just shocked and amused. But the thing with the use of the term "Jap" is that most people will refer to anyone that is Asian as such. I've also been referred to as Vietcong when some drunk guy at a bar told me his dad spent a lot of his time fighting "my people." It's odd.

There's racism and then there's racism. As I usually find myself in the racial majority, I don't see a lot of it coming my way (that's the way it seems to go). Hearing it from the little old ladies is maybe more surprising but also less offensive than the drunk guy at the bar. Then again, context matters. And I've noticed that I read/dismiss what people say to me differently than what is said to my kids.

Tell him how often you go the gym and about your new company car mate.

Can't a good looking young man in the world's greatest city with a boss motor get a bit of friggin respect around here?!

I have never understood why he's on this program, he used to sell fruit and veg on borough market and now he's some sort of connoisseur.
Better than that Aussie tit who looks like the divvy off Motd2 though

I rarely encounter any racism. When I do it is usually where and from whom it is expected. I know people who have had to deal with it in the workplace and can only imagine how hard that is to deal with. The worst thing that has ever happened to me is a guy throwing his beer in my face and calling me a racial slur because I did not want to talk to him. It was assault and I felt violated.

It's mostly other women that ask me. I do not know, maybe women are more comfortable asking other women, or American women are shorter.
