Awkward, Shoes and Work: Awkward silence

Awkward silence

By Boothater - 03/04/2009 05:10 - United States

Today, the director of the play I'm in decided to show us an example of the type of shoes we would be wearing in the show. She brings in a pair of hideous black combat boots, and I remark how ugly they are. They're her own favorite boots. I had to carpool with her after rehearsal. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my friend and I went to a tacky-themed party. She was wearing orange faux snake stilettos. I commented, "Those are perfect for tonight, where'd you manage to find such hideous shoes?" It turns out she wears those shoes all the time, the color just matched her outfit. FML

Today, I went to see a musical that some school friends had put on. At some point in the show, the main character kicked her leg up in the air, and her high heel flew off of her foot and into the audience. The shoe hit me square in the face. FML

Today, I had a rehearsal for a musical I'm in. I've worked my arse off to get the songs I sing in place and sounding good. Unfortunately, my coworkers haven't. Now the director wants to cut the songs I'm in because, "the people you're working with make you look shit." FML

Today, the director of the play I'm in decided to explain why we got the parts we did. He said he tried matching our characters to who we actually are. I play a whore who's a transvestite. FML

Today, my shoe fell apart a few minutes after I got to work. I called my boyfriend and asked him to bring me the "pretty black pair" in my closet. What did he bring? Black stilettos. I'm a waitress with an eight-hour shift. FML

Today, I had to dress like a diva for a drama performance and my friend said I looked like a hooker. Then someone said, “If hookers looked like that, they wouldn't get any money." FML

Booted

Today, a middle-aged woman came into the shoe shop where I work, and asked me to help her put on a pair of boots that were obviously too small. Simultaneously as I knelt down by her feet, she booted me in the face while we tried to get them on. FML

Today, my teacher told me I wasn't pretty enough to play the princess part in the play. FML

Today, I was rehearsing for a school play. My drama teacher keeps criticising the part where I fake-trip, saying I make it look terribly fake. During today's rehearsal, I actually tripped for real, and smashed my kneecaps against the floor with a scream. He still said my "acting" sucked. FML

Acting 101

Today, I was partnered with this really sexy guy for an audition. He says, "Am I really stuck with you? I can't even stand being seen with you in public!" I start cursing him out really loud, but then I realize that he's only reading the script. Everyone was staring, and he called me a crazy bitch. FML

Dude, black boots in general = awesome. and I agree with #1, you don't insult what the director brings in, often enough they'll like it or it is theirs.

Why would you remark negatively on something that could potentially become your costume?! If you have something negative to say about something you can't change, don't comment because it won't do you any good. Or you could have at least said it more subtly... And agree with #3, black boots are pretty awesome. Combats in particular.

Just be glad you didn't have to wear crocs in a play! That's dignity I can't get back. Anyway, for a comment like that to the director, herself, YDI. Awkward car rides suck, so next time choose your words carefully.

so? you two have different tastes. you didn't like them. never be ashamed to have an opinion, and if it was uncomfortable on the ride home then that was probably your own fault for making it a bigger deal than it was

this is not an fml. it was your opinion. you stated your opinion and everyone has a right to do that. if your director gets offended b/c you do not have the same tastes as them then they are not very tolerant. and for people who keep saying "always agree with your director" or "never say you don't like something" blah blah blah they are all DOUCHE BAGS!!! b/c you should ALWAYS state your truthful opinion about something. its ok to disagree with people and i doubt your director really cared that much that you don't like them most likely they just think "well too bad this is the costume" and move on. if they didn't say anything on the ride home i doubt it bothered them THAT much
