Can anyone say.. sexism?

Trying to get my car an oil change is like a tourist trying to give a tiger a vitamin pill. Apparently, not going to happen in our lifetime.

I love my car. It is foreign. It is fabulous and ridiculous at the same time. I fawn over it in a not so natural way...*sheepish eyes*, and I clean it as often as I can.

I just wanted an oil change.

My nightmare begins.

My mom, who I drove to visit during one of my weekly runs to go visit everyone and everyone's graves, (it's not morbid to take flowers to someone you love..'nuf said) says take it "here". So I did. "Nope, don't do foreign cars". K, no problem.

Take it back to the "Big city" and am met with Redneck hell once again *shaking my head and laughing at how they are about the get their ass kicked by me.*

"Lady" and this is literally how it went. "yooooouuuuu want your oiiiiilll changed. Gonna cost ya." Yes, I know. Yada, yada, yada. Ultimately, bubba wanted to make an arrangement of sorts. Ah, no thank you.

Really??? I'm just average, truly nothing special to look at.

Kept pushing and pushing until I finally said I like pussy, in my not so average, blunt way. Gay, lesbian, ain't gonna happen, you son-of-a-bitch.

Now things change. Somehow, NOT much to my surprise, prices rise.

In the end, bubba didn't do my oil change. Someone else did and it ended up being the right price. I can take names and kick ass when needed.

Gay/Lesbians. Don't take shit off anyone. We have rights too. Don't be afraid of bubbas or managers or anyone trying to take advantage of you. Stand up. Those of us who don't have "clout" so to speak, just speak your mind. And if you don't find what you are looking for, move on. I was limited b/c of the car I drive, but otherwise, there are many willing to take our business. Just always stand up for us, your rights and every other oppressed person out their. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
