23: passive antagonism

i ain't got no patience for it.

i'm not talking about holding your tongue so you won't go off on your boss or biting your lip so you won't blurt out to your child how one of their lil friends gets on your last nerve.

in this instance i'm talking about service providers you deal with on a regular basis: a teacher or principle at your child's school; your hair stylist; the sista who works at your favorite shoe store, who you kinda got in good with and let get the commission for all your purchases.

i'm partial to people who are straight up. that way, we each know where the other stands. so if i've done something to offend you, call me on it. then we can either get over it and move past it, or go our separate ways.

but all the b.s. that comes with the fakery sho ain't my cup of tea. for real, if you don't care for me, let me know. my money spends well all over town and i prefer to spend it with those who provide me with good service. you don't necessarily have to like me. but don't be nice-nasty with me either.

i might note that this type of scenario is not uncommon in my life and it always happens with women, never with men.

i'll say it again: if you don't care for me, let me know. my money spends well all over town and i prefer to spend it with those who provide me with good service.
