Girl Rules, Basic No-Nos & Being Catty

Women are catty. Especially toward each other. Especially when on woman has performed an act of woman on woman betrayal. It is not something taken lightly and is most likely not to be forgiven.

Over the last several years, I have emerged from spending most of my time locked in the house and being a slave to my life, kids, ex-husband…. blah, blah, blah.  Waaaaa.

I dig hangin out at the watering hole and playing Karaoke Queen and sitting back and watching all of the drama that goes on.

I was young (17)when I married my first husband and didn’t experience the “meat market” type bar scene. I didn’t have a clue that women in the meat market are dressed up and in competition with one another to take some drunk home.

Pu-leaze.

Then I toddled into life as a single, grown woman. It was never my intention to pick up on any dude at all. We (the Pirates) were always out, and if you saw one, the rest weren’t too far behind.   We generally were out together, as a group, on Wednesday and Friday for close to a year. 

A few of the girls had boyfriends, a few had fuck buddies, but none of us were married. 

During that year I witnessed several acts of sluttiness on various levels and even fell victim once to a chick chasing my buddy. 

The fur on the back of my neck stood up and my claws came out and if I’m not mistaken, I think I even hissed a few times.   I had been initiated into the sad world of the backstabbing girlfriend. 

Who would have thought?

Even though I’m not single anymore and I have no desire to go back to yesterdrama…

Expressing interest in a man that another woman has already expressed interest in is a huge no-no.

Even if you are sadly repugnant and shameless. Wouldn’t you rather keep your girlfriend (who you know will be there for you) than to stab her in the back in order to have a one night fling with a her man who is going to talk down about you to his friends and other lovers who know about you?

Kissing another girl’s man when she goes to the bathroom is also a big no-no. 

Seriously. Do you think that his girl isn’t going to find out that you waited until she got up and excused herself from the table, before you not-so-eloquently shoved your tongue down his throat?

If the girl has any real friends, they will tell her about your skanky ways as soon as she gets back to the table. In general, you will have lost a friend (maybe several) as well as becoming a laughing stock. (I witnessed this scenario… since I wasn’t involved, it was actually quite amuzing to watch the fallout.)

This post has been inspired by the drama at Coyote Joe’s Bar.  If you want warm beer, shitty service and  100% entertainment, I suggest you wander in on any given Friday night.
