Today’s Column: September 20, 2022

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.
