Frustrated

Ok, this really got on my nerves.

Whenever I've got the spare cash I buy the Gay Times. I usually buy it in WHSmith where a friend of mine works but today I decided to grab a copy while I was at a newsagents near my college.

When I took it up to the counter, the guy who was serving me looked at the magazine and started laughing and said "People actually buy this? Talk about sick." he then showed it to a girl who was stocking a shelf behind him and she laughed aswell.

It made me feel like a right idiot. It really pisses me off that people do stuff like that, yet if it's a man buying a similar straight magazine it's treated as the norm.

I don't see why I should be mocked for the things that interest me. I mean it's not even porn.

BAD service I say, it`s people`s own damn thing what they buy and not the one`s who serve the customers, but of course there are a lot of stupid people in the world such as the one serving you who just don`t get that other people have something named as feelings

"You guys are actually selling it? Talk about sick".

The world is full of ignorant people, life is merely a matter of learning to live with them - unfortunately. Frustration is fully justified in this sort of situation, some people just don't have any manners.

That's because it is the norm.

Still, you must agree that calling someone sick to their face for buying something you're selling is the definition of rudeness.

hay guys it's totally cool for you to buy your FHM and Maxim and ogle at half naked women touching one another. while you're at it why not show some gratuitous public affection with your girlfriend and ram your tongue down her throat BUT I SWEAR TO GOD YOU GAYS if i catch you doing anything other than interior design and making catty comments about fashion, someone is going to get their pink ass kicked

Eh. I'd probably have hit the idiot and be banned from yet another place. It's, well, what I do, really.

How can you define anything as the norm though? I'm hardly abnormal because I have a different sexual interest.

To me, normal is a word for perfect world. One we definatley don't live in.

I was soo tempted to Silus.

And Vega, gota say, spot bloody on. I know not all straight guys are obnoxious arseholes, but I've met few who aren't.
