was absolutely stopped in my tracks and BLOWN away yesterday at work when a coworker called me pure; I literally haven't been called that in over a decade and there's always been something about it that rubs me the wrong way

#diary comic #there's always been a weird connotation of infantilization about it that drives me absolutely BONKERS #i also think it might be because I don't like wine so i don't social drink with my coworkers and they take it to mean that i don't drink #and it's like no no i do i just drink various liquors and do that in the comfort of my own home lmao #but my god i was shot back to being a kid when i would just act very above board at school and ppl would literally apologize for swearing #like no bestie i'm screaming every obscenity i know just not within your earshot okay #interestingly this never happened at college or grad school #like not even ONCE #so idk what THAT was lol #comic #okay rant over I just holy cow i'm sure it's like a benign comment but what a weird thing to say
