How to Be Bullied into Things

As a girly girl you are often the peer pressurer, the dealmaker and the con artist of your group of friends. You are the mover of the chess pieces of life (but you don’t actually play chess in a geeky way obviously . . .eww).

The point is, you are usually so busy trying to get people to do what you want them to do that you might not realize when the tables have turned on you my friend! You are now the person at the whim of others. And now you’ve been conned into some elaborate scheme that will probably land you in jail when all you really wanted to do with your night was sit on your couch and plan your imaginary yet beautiful wedding to Afrojack!

But alas floral arrangements and color schemes are a thought of the past as you contemplate your current situation.

It always starts with the smallest request from your dear friend.

For example, say you’re at her house and she is making cocktails for the obligatory #preparty. She asks you to try the drink she just made to make sure she did a good job. Being the kind soul that you are, you oblige.

This small request is then followed by yet another small favor.

This said friend now wants you to take another sip because she is not sure you got enough of a taste for it the first time. So once again, you oblige.

Something goes awry after favor 2 has been completed.

After all of your good deeds have been completed, you somehow end up dazed and confused. Maybe you are just overwhelmed by the amount of niceness you have put into the universe today or maybe it’s whatever was in that damn cup you were drinking. But either way, things have quickly become hazy. The next thing you know, you wake up on the floor of your friend’s house the next morning. At least it’s a comfortable floor and they gave you a nice blanket but whatever! That’s not the point. The point is, what the hell just happened?!

I know what you’re thinking now! You think just because this story has to do with alcohol that it is okay to do other favors for your friends. This is false! All the favors you do will lead you to experience the confusion and hazy feeling I am talking about even if alcohol is not involved. So just don’t do it!

I’m not saying blacking out is a bad thing. I just think it needs to be a personal decision I make, and not one I was tricked into!  #prochoice

The moral of the story my friends, is to always say no and never be nice to anyone because we all know what happens when you give a mouse a cookie!
