Tough Talk,
I live and work in New York City. I am in the advertising business and resemble a main stream star who’s had their fair share of embarrassing incidents lately. I won’t mention the name to protect how important I am. But most people would think it’s awesome to look like so-and-so, but it’s not. It actually sucks. Everyone, including strangers, coming up to me and asking me, “Do you know, you look just like XX?” I don’t want to be rude, but I’ve had it, especially with all the snickering and snot-nose remarks lately? What advice do you have for me TT? (New York City, Georgia)
NYC,
Don’t tolerate this HS any more. I would respond, “No you SFBM, no one has ever told me that before.” Wait another second, and ask, “Are you that . . . stupid?” Continue with insulting questions: “Are you that much of a dope? Do you think you’re the first person to say that? Would you like an autograph,” and hand them a slip of paper with f you written on it. Also, you might say, yes, so-and-so is related to me and ask if they’d like to meet them. Take their number and start crank calling them and keep blowing them off. Regardless, you have to do something – don’t cop out.
