i dont want to victimise myself...

…But someone called me patronizing the other day! Yeah…me…Brittanneyy!
I mean what kind of fugly bitch would do that?

I was standing in a room and we were getting ready to shoot something. I picked up the camera that we were using ready to place it on the tripod when – lets call him MR - says to me that we were waiting for the base. I was like okay.
And then the girl reached for the camera to place it on the tripod just as MR walked away and I said slightly mockingly “We’re waiting for the base!”
She turns and snaps “you’ve never like me have you?”
Shocked I responded the only way I know how, by lying “No! I’ve never NOT liked you…”
“Well it just seems that whenever you speak to me you always patronize me.”
At this point everything that I have ever said to this girl runs through my head and I could only come up with about three things all of which are just small talk.
“So in the future I would appreciate it if you did not speak to me that way anymore.”
At which point I decided that in the future I will NOT speak to her anymore. However, I could see that the conversation was not going to end so I searched around (with my eyes because I didn’t want to move suddenly) for a saviour or a comfort zone. But, it seemed that the world had stopped. I could see them all in my peripheral vision yet none of them reached over to help me.
And so the awkwardness continued until the goddamn base (which I don’t even know what it is) arrived.

But it made me think…do I patronize people when I talk to them? And this one made me think the most because I was really intimidated by her when I first met her and then she confirms it by yelling. But I had made a special effort by her and REALLY making sure that I said hi to her all the time and stuff.
Oh well…bitch.
