NOT FUNNY.
Apr. 28th, 2008 12:02 ami went to Novak's tonight to sing a little karaoke 'cause i wanted to get out of the house. it was nice...i went, i read my book, and i was [generally] not bothered. okay, i had to blow off two skeezy men [WTF? i don't go to a dyke bar to get hit on by skeezy men!] and one woman who was a little too grabby and had about twenty years on me, but i rebuffed them all gracefully and managed to have a pleasant evening.
during the cab ride home, though, i had a mind-blowing exchange with the driver. he picked me up in front of Novak's, and right after he verified my destination, the following exchange ensued:
driver: that's one of those bars where women don't like men, where they beat up their men, right?
me: what? i've never seen a woman beating up on a man there, or anyone beating on anyone else.
driver: i mean, it's one of those bars where women hate men, right?
me: it's a lesbian bar. most of them don't hate men, they just prefer to date women.
driver: you know, i was just joking around with you. [laughs]
NOT FUNNY. i had no idea what to say. i was just...speechless.
