Lesson learned

Or, How I almost ruined Valentine’s Day…

The conversation over IM went like this:

Tim: hey babe, people are asking over here and I’m not sure about this stuff...what is your sign, virgo?
Me: huh? ppl at work are asking you what my sign is?
Tim: we were all talking about signs and they asked me what yours was
Me: yes virgo, and yes I know that we are supposedly not a good match
Me: why are your work ppl asking about my sign? that is weird
Me: tell them to mind their own business
Me: what was their verdict?
Tim: are you upset?
Me: sorry we just got back online
Me: so yes, I was upset earlier but oh well, not a big deal
Me: so what was the verdict on our signs?
Tim: they kinda said the same thing, that we don't match up or whatever but I didn’t pay too much attention...I just couldn’t remember for sure what you were
Me: well I do think it is weird and I want to know why your coworkers are all up in my business
Tim: no they weren’t, I got pulled into the conversation, they were discussing each other's signs and were curious
Tim: and I don’t know shit about signs so I didn’t have much to say
Me: well I just think they are weird and should get the fuck back to work
Tim: I agree
Me: and I think it is rude of them if they said we don't match, what the fuck do they know?
Tim: nothing apparently
Me: fine then
Me: who was discussing it?
Tim: everyone, it wasn’t mean spirited or anything it was all in fun I suppose
Me: well what do you think?
Me: do you think it is necessary for people who I have never met to be discussing our relationship?
Tim: probably not
Me: okay maybe I am overreacting a little
Me: but it isn't like you were asking them
Tim: yeah it was really nothing baby, honestly. and yeah it’s none of their business, but I wasn’t offended by it. they didn’t say anything mean or anything, just joking around
Me: well obviously I am offended by it
Tim: I'm sorry
Me: well there ya go

And later that night at home:

Tim: Baby, were you really upset about that sign thing?
Me: Yes! I just think it is none of their business! Don’t they have anything better to do?
Tim: Just sit down, I’ll show you what it was all about.
Me: Don’t you think it’s weird?! I just don’t see why they have to…
Tim: Just relax!
Tim: Now come look at this.
