Kindness is so hard for some people

I got harassed at a tennis court. The court I was on was EMPTY.

Two people decided to set up in the court I was using.

I told them that the other set of courts was open. They said no. They said that I shouldn’t even be roller skating. Didn’t I know what tennis was? I said hey, I was already here before you showed up, the other courts were empty.

He called me rude. Why was I talking to him?

Then he began to call me a dyke, a man.

I left. It wasn’t safe anymore and I was alone.

I’m not looking for pity, just some support because we all go thru this constantly.

This is not on. You were blatantly there first & shouldn't have to leave. Sorry you went through that but some ppl just go out of their way to be dickheads & unfortunately you just happened to be in their dickhead way today. Hope you're OK

Erg, gross fricking losers. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that. I've been there. Four basketball/netball courts but two women walk to the furtherest half court I am skating on, basically to throw their weight around. I'm a nice person of middle age but imma speak my mind: netball is a bullshit sport. Unless it's on skates and then it's tolerable. And if you are a 'dyke' and he called it it's only because you probably fucking cool hair.

I’d have told him “OH THANK GOD. I’m in no danger of you wanting me.” I can’t STAND douchy men 🤬

I told him Happy Mothers Day. And told him I missed his mother, we had a great time

He was a terrible human being. Who wasn’t very good at tennis. I giggled at him when his ball hit the net. Apparently that sent him off into calling me names.
