A Despicable, Disagreeable Person

Bitch: (vulgar, offensive) A despicable or disagreeable, aggressive person, often female. 

SuperK needed a haircut.  She tried to call a woman from The Program I'll call "Diane" because that's her name - the woman she tried to call, not SuperK whose name is "SuperK," after all.  The area code was different than ours but in this day and age of cell phones that isn't too unusual.  SuperK still has an area code from The New City - I got mine changed to one that's Vacation City appropriate but only because I got a new phone.  Otherwise, they charge you $50 to get a new number which is about $50 more than I'm willing to spend.

The woman called back.  She took the time to launch into a brief polemic explaining that she wasn't a hairdresser - that must be a different Diane - and to "please not call this number anymore."  She then concluded the phone call.

SuperK laughed a bit about the episode.  But she also said: "What if I had been new to The Program?"  This was a good point.  Another good point is this: Why put your phone number on a phone list if you don't want someone to call back.  Really, that's a very good point.  Mostly, though, is why take the time to call back if you're just going to act like a bitch?  That's the best point - it's not like SuperK called over and over.  Why not simply delete the call?  Maybe this woman likes acting like a jerk.

It make me think about the times when I'm the face of The Program for someone.
