For thirty years now you've done a prime job of keeping my eyes lubricated and nourished. And moist. I realize it's the same as lubricated but I just wanted to use the word moist in a blog post.
You were a tad over sensitive when I starting shoving giant mascara wands your way, but you learned quickly that I wasn't going to hurt you, and chilled out nicely.
You've been a real champ and have even gone above and beyond, putting up with me poking contact lenses around and keeping them hydrated too. Kudos to you.
But there's something about you that I'm just not happy with, and I would have thought after so many years of practice that you would have figured it out.
What the ever loving fuck is with the angry tears? I mean really?
I find myself having a heated argument with someone and you spring in to action and make me look like a dickhead who needs a
How am I mean to look professional when I'm in a business meeting if the second I get a bit angry my eyes start leaking, my nose gets snotty and red, I choke on my words, partially convulse and did I mention ALL THE FUCKING SNOT?!
Your issue has led to people labeling me with the "emotional woman" tag as they hand me a tissue with a condescending look in their tearless eyes. The only upside to this is that I'm less likely to stab someone lest I drop that tiny little scrunched up wad of snot and tears. Because who wants snot and tissue debris on the floor? It's a bitch to pick up.
I blame you for all of this. I could be banging on about the limbic system and my hypothalamus but I figure the buck stops with you, buddy.
Now I'm not sure if you're cranky at me for that time I took medication that dried you up to almost nothing for the best part of a year and are now just finding a way to make me pay by overreacting, or if you're just a bit of a pussy and like a good cry. But here's a bit of a newsflash for you, I DON'T CARE! Just stop it!
Toughen up, Princess, lift your game and reserve the tears for sad things. Unless of course I'm menstruating in which case you can bring on the tears when I watch the talcum powder commercials with the cute babies.
Yours sincerely,
My tear ducts need to read the same memo. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh Bex. Always reminds me of my Grandmother.
ReplyDeleteomg mine too! hate it. Now, when I'm really angry, I just don't speak, so I don't cry.
ReplyDeleteSame. The upside is that I walk away from a lot of arguments. But sometimes you just really wanna say your bit!!!
ReplyDeleteIf only the bastards could actually read!
ReplyDeleteHehe me too
ReplyDeleteStupid angry tears. I feel your pain. My sympathetic nervous system goes into hyperdrive when I'm livid so along with the tears comes the bright redness and palpitating carotid. Pretty it ain't.
ReplyDeleteAn all-too familiar situation here. I wish I could be all kick-arse and super-articulate when mad, but just crumble into tears and luny raving. So I avoid most arguments, too.
