A few years ago I had this horrible horrible summerjob which I loathed with the fire of a thousand suns. And I spent those four weeks hanging out with a guy who turned out to be the biggest homophobe. And I didn't say a thing, which I feel horribly ashamed about. But I am a shy and cowardly person. Also I couldn't very well tell him to go and fuck himself because then I would have a horrible summer job AND be all alone in a world of homphobes. So instead I would just zone out when he talked and slash the hell out of two other guys also working there... I DON'T THINK THAT WAS A MUCH BETTER THING TO DO BUT FUCK IT! IT WAS MY COPING MECHANISM!
Also ever since then I dislike getting to know people IRL because what if they turn out to be horrible racists/homophobes/sexist/crazy people?!
Um... Anyway... I know I had a point here somewhere... Uh... Oh yes! At least you're telling him off when he's being an ass. Maybe he'll actually learn something instead of cutting off contact with you? I don't know. I am not being the least helpful. But at least you got to listen to my tale of shame and cowardice and you can feel better than me at least? XD
