I AM SOOO FUCKING PISSED OFF!!!!! AAAHHH!!!! Will someone please explain to me why people have such awful stereotypes of Army Wives?? This is what happened. I was already in a kinda bad mood. I am missing my husband, being depressed cause he aint here and was just in a down mood today. It was one of those days and you other army girls know what I'm talking about! Well a customer came in tonight looking for a DVD of the show WEEDS. He had picked up the wrong one and wanted to know if we had the first disc to season 3. We didn't it was checked out. He decided to re-rent a game he had. He came to my register this was the conversation:
Customer: Have you ever seen WEEDS? It's such a funny show me and my wife love it.
Me:No, I haven't seen it. I like the show Army Wives.
Customer: Army Wives? I've never heard of it.
Customers Wife: It's the show that comes on Lifetime honey.
Customer: Oh yeah, so it's about women who cheat on their husbands in the army.
Me: No its not.
Customer: So it's about Lesbian Army Wives?
Me: No its not. It shows the life women who's husbands are in the military and what they go through everyday.
Customer: Yeah they cheat on their husbands.
Me: That's a bad stereotype. No, that's just wrong. I'm an Army Wife. No, that's just not right.
Customer: Well I was in the Army and I know that wives cheat.
Me: (I holler for Kim, the other girl that was working with me) Kim, can you please come take this customer, I can't do it.
Then I run out back and start crying. I mean I was bawling my eyes out! How can someone be so insensitive and so cruel as to judge me when he doesn't know me or any other Army Wife out there! I know plenty of Army Wives who are faithful and loyal to their husbands! People need to understand that we have a hard time here being an Army Wife! No civilian understands what we have to go through! Especially during a deployment! It's hard people! It's really hard trying to be a rock here at home when the one you love is a million miles away from you and you have no idea when he's coming home or when you'll talk to him next! We have to keep the home front running! We have a hard job!!! Its' not easy! Then people come along like the customer I had tonight and just make it worse! I don't know what do say to people like that! I was to mad my brain was boiling water! Phew, I just had to vent and get that out! I'm so proud of my husband and what he is doing for our country! Some people, like that customer, don't deserve our military men's protection! Ugh! It just tick me off soo much!!! AAHH!!!
