Screw being nice!

What's the pnt of being nice anymore? Seriously? Sure, it may give you the satisfaction of knowing that you were able to help someone who needed it. Sure, it may give you a high to help others, but why even bother? Some don't even appreciate it. Other times, you do something nice for someone & then later on in the day, someone else bites you in the ass.

Why so bitter you ask? My mother, brother & me went to Victoria over the weekend to check out the Egypt exhibit at the Royal BC Museum. I used to LOVE mummies etc, so I was stoked to be going. Anywho, we went, did the exhibit and seeing that we were starving, we walked a couple of blocks to the mall to have a lil lunchie. Well, while we were on our way back to the museum, I noticed that an elderly lady was having problems bringing her tray to a table. So I went out of my way to help her, seeing that no one else seemed to be willing to. Nice of me to do so, right? So, what's my problem? Nothing... w/ her that is.

After finishing the museum & seeing that it was raining, we didn't really wanna walk around downtown, so we were heading back to the mall. On the way there, we stopped off to get some gelatto. As we continued on our way to the mall, we were minding our own business, talking to each other when we crossed the street & I heard an elderly woman say to us, "Ugh... Chinese again!" The tone was *SO* condescending & rude, so I turned around & said, "EXCUSE ME!?!" She just continued walking, shaking her head. That just made me *SO* angry, so I yelled BITCH out to her. I'm sure there were tourists/residents thinking that I was crazy for yelling @ an elderly woman. But you know what? I don't care how old/young you are. If you're going to be racist, I"m gonna yell at you regardless.

Some ppl... ARGH!
