Blog 37: My Encounter with a Douche

A few months ago, my boyfriend’s college roommate accusingly asked me why there was mold in his cups. He glanced past his roommate, looked me in the eye and said, “You’re a girl, so you can tell me. . .” Later that night I found myself cleaning their toilet* while he criticized me and commented that he never intended on cleaning a toilet, but that he’d rather marry someone to do that for him. Apart from a swimsuit calendar that he received as a gift, he has shown no promise of doing so and I’m left to wonder how he’ll ever get his future toilets cleaned. Jesus save us all if he ever manages to reproduce.
               This guy is a douche bag. It’s easy to recognize this because of the way that he makes others feel and the lack of remorse at which he does so. Maybe you have someone in your life that makes you feel like you’re worthless or that you wouldn’t mind the jail sentence if you were ever pushed enough to strangle them? Although I would never admit it to his face, this guy made me feel unwelcome, demeaned, and like I would never be able to convince him otherwise.
               It’s not ohkay for another person, by nature of their personality and ego, to ever be able to make you feel horrible. I urge you to consider the problem that this niche causes in the collective mass of events that is our everyday lives.

*It was too disgusting for me to use, and I needed to do so

  1. i think you're right, those people are more into themselves than anyone else, and that is what is so frustrating. and that is probably why no dousche bags have girlfriends...

  2. I can't stand when people act like that. My roommates boyfriend tries to get her to do his laundry for him. He said that when I was in the room and I said "you have two legs and two arms that work perfectly well. Why don't you walk your butt down there and do it yourself!" I can't stand when guys insist that its a "grils job."

  4. Ah, the pleasant views of guys too stupid to clean. Letting things get to that level of disgusting should be a crime.
