Perks of Being a Girl

Perks of Being a Girl

So, just because she's a woman, she can just come and cut the line?
Why can’t she stand in line and suffer like we all do?

Sometimes this pisses me off, and I get angry.

Two days ago, I went to get train tickets.
I was standing in line behind five people.
Five minutes later, the five people turned into nine.
Five sweet girls came, and they went straight to the booth,
As if no one else was waiting.
Everyone played stupid and didn’t say a word.
But if it were a guy who had decided to cut in line, and just skip ahead,
Everyone would be cussing him out and giving him a really hard time.

One time I was standing in the queue to get bread, and it was really hot.
I wanted to get five loaves.
A girl appeared and asked for twenty loaves.
They were given to her immediately.
He probably didn’t even ask her for the money until she was leaving.
Why? Because she’s hot.
“Next time I’ll dress like her,
For you to respect me and give me five loaves right away,” I told him.

And one time in college, there was a professor,
Who whenever we went to ask him a question wouldn’t answer.
But when a girl went to ask him something, he’d talk to her at length.
The first time, I let it go, the second time I let it go.
But the organic chemistry class is four hours long,
And there were things we couldn’t hear.
So when he didn’t answer us still, I got angry.
“Next time I’ll come dressed as a woman, so you’ll answer me,” I said.
“Alright, I swear on your mother’s life I’m making sure you fail this class”, he said.
And sure enough, I failed it four years in a row.
