butterflydreamingI clearly had it with my co-worker's trash talking today. Earlier it was some nonsense about how people would get double mastectomies if their 23 And Me info indicated that their genes linked them to breast cancer.
Then they were discussing the RadioShack 80's commercial. Co-worker D thought that the person in the commercial playing Mary Lou Retton was "a dude in a wig," and so the discussion turned to the gymnast and the 1984 Olympics.
The guys are already kind of being asses. Karl states that the only reason Retton won the gold in '84 is because the Russians boycotted. I jokingly scolded him for not being nice. Two minutes later, the guys are back on about how Mary Lou Retton looks.
Karl said something about Retton never having been a looker. So I told him he sucked.
There are not a lot of environments where I could get away with that. It feels pretty good to point out that kind of BS. They were both kind of embarrassed, which they should be.
