You know you look like...
I once told Margaret, a friend of mine, that she looked like Rita McPhilbie*. Personally, I think Rita McPhilbie is a very attractive singer of country folk songs. I thought that I would be passing on a compliment that she would be thrilled to hear. Was I shocked. "Shock and awe" didn't even begin to cover her extreme reaction. She said "Rita McPhilbie. She is hideous. She is soooooo ugly. She has those droopy eyes and a big chin and her hair. It's a mess." I thought Margaret would have picked up her phone and called everyone she knew and let them know that someone told her she looks like Rita McPhilbie.After that experience I decided that I would never again tell someone that they look like a famous celeb. Now I know why.
I was on my way home from work one day last week. I exited the train station to the parking lot. It was a hot day so I opned the door, started the car and let the air conditioner cool the car for a few minutes. I waited outside so that it could reach a reasonable temperature before I attempted enter. A women walked over to her car, which happened to be parked next to mine. She stood there momentarily and stared directly at me. She said "did anyone tell you that you look like Norman Catilano**?
I thought "Norman Catilano? What's up with that?" I felt rage immediately! I felt like I had just been dealt the biggest insult of my life. Rage I tell you, rage! I wanted to lash out. I wanted to fire back "that big nose, those deep set eyes and... and... and... I have hair, he doesn't!" Suddenly it hit me. She thought she was giving me a compliment. I stared right back at her, flashed her my toothiest grin, got in my car and had a great laugh.
* Not her real name
** Not his real name, either
