I'm a GHaG. But for some fugly reason, I do enjoy all other GHaGs. Usually. So I used to hate myself for saying things like this because "Girl Power" and "I am Woman" and all that post-modern neo-feminist schtuff. But you know what? I hate catty bitches!
The GHaG at the women-only gym I go to? She started making fun of my collegiate t-shirts. Normally I would shrug this off, but it happens that I am very sensitive about people saying that I believe I'm smarter than everyone, just because I finished college. Okay, Okay, Michigan Engineering was hard. But I worked my a$$ off. I'm not brilliant. But I wanted to succeed. Passion. Drive.
I told them on Monday that they "weren't cool" for making fun of me. Tonight? They did it again. Well it's NOT cool. And I'm not excited to go back.
The thing is, the one GHaG realized she stepped in some deep doo-doo, because then she started talking and talking and it seemed like a train-wreck of lies, and she just wouldn't stop!
Grr. So I'm distressed and don't want to go back to the Playground that is my gym. And I don't want a super-sized version of Ms. Jordache (a playground bully of my youth) to make me hate every minute I have to spend in her giant presence. I'm a grown up, and I'm paying money to this establishment. And in the morning, I'm also calling her manager. If there's no satisfaction there, the owner of the gym, and then the better business bureau.
Dorothy don't pay to be abused. And it don't pay to abuse Dorothy.
Peace out.

A bit of advice:
1. Go to the offender in private and ask her to stop publicly flogging you. Tell her that you, too, hate other girls, but that you shall tell X Y AND Z if she keeps it up.
2. If she asks forgiveness, give it.
3. If she keeps it up, go ahead and tell X, Y, and Z, but don't expect that you shall be terribly welcome into that location. People have a way of telling lies to their bosses and coworkers and believe me, in RETAIL, the workers believe that the customer is NEVER right. They just don't say that to their face.
4. Don't threaten someone's job. It's so unbecoming and solidifies their thoughts about you.
5. It's so much more becoming to just smile at them and not talk.
6. DO NOT STOP WEARING YOUR MICHIGAN ENGINEERING SHIRT! DO NOT STOP GOING TO THE GYM!
7. Does your work-out partner take part in your abuse? Does she defend you? Does she secretly relish your flogging?

I appreciate the advice, too.
