5 Times A Girl Comes Off Mean By Accident

Why girls are always assuming other girls suck.

Females are made out to be one of the most complex creatures to have ever walked the earth. And in some instances, girls can be very confusing. However, a lot of the mannerisms, actions, and ideas put out by females that often leave others perplexed, are actually just misunderstandings. Very often, there are girls being perceived as rude, snobby, or mean, all by accident.

I can personally vouch for the fact that there are plenty of girls being falsely accused of being for lack of a better term - crappy people, just for something as mundane as their body language, or the way they speak. Quite honestly, there's probably a solid amount of people who think I'm a wicked salty person just because they caught me at a bad moment.

1. Resting B*tch Face

For those of you who don't know, a Resting Bitch Face (shout out to Kanye for the killer demonstration), is the face you're making when you're totally calm, relaxed, or content. Like when you're walking in the hallway, waiting in line at the grocery store, or reading a book, but your rested face makes it seem like you're carefully contemplating the murder of the person next to you. Maybe it's just me, but I genuinely feel like if I had a happier looking "resting face", I'd probably have a hell of a lot more friends. Not to mention, the friends I do have, have told me on various occasions that they all thought I was extremely mean looking or even, one of my favorites, "like you were gonna curb stomp me if I said hi." If I had a nickel for every time I said, "it's just my face" during my high school career, I'd be rich enough to go pay for a happier looking one. I can almost guarantee that nine times out of ten, the girl you're looking at is probably real nice, and really that's just her face.


2. Catching her staring.

I can't tell you how many times I've been caught staring at a girl. Not because I'm judging her, and not because I'm hating on her. Honestly, I'm probably just trying to figure out how you do your make up so well or admiring how dope your outfit is that day. Thing is, we're not trying to look creepy, and if you're a victim of R.B.F., and you're caught staring at a girl, she's bound to think you're hating on her. Especially because, God forbid we smile at one another a little more, or give each other compliments when we think one another looks nice. Apparently, we'd all just rather live under the presumption that we hate one another.


3. Bathroom Etiquette

Ever be washing your hand next to another girl in the bathroom, eyeing one another out of the corners of your eyes pretending like neither of you notice? Those few seconds of intense bathroom silence are typically just the byproduct of shyness and awkwardness. I've made plenty of awkward eye contact with girls in restrooms, and instead of just saying hi to one another, you know, like human beings, we'll just stand there and pretend the other person doesn't exist. And you know what? You both walk out of there thinking the other girl's a snob. But in reality, one or both of us is probably either shy, or afraid the other girl is judging us.

4. She could just be quiet.

Yes, some girls are actually just shy or quiet. If you see a girl every day and have never heard her speak, it's probably not because she's a snob, but just because she doesn't feel like she has anything to say. If anything, her mind could be booming with thoughts about whether or not the people around her are judging her.

5. Being caught off guard.


As a result, since these days it is so uncommon for girls to actually be nice to one another, if it actually happens, I'm probably just gonna stare at you real confused for a couple of seconds before registering what you just said to me. I get it, you compliment a girl and she just stares at you like you've got six heads, you're bound to think she sucks. But actually, I'm probably just in shock that you were nice to me and I'm trying to figure out how to make my vocal chords function again. And when I do, it'll probably be a half-whispered 'thank you' that makes me seem even worse. She's not trying to sound snobby, she's just trying to recover from shock.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
