i didnt really know where to put this...it should go in a 'religion' thread but unfortuneately, this poor thread will soon die.

ok...i've always been the only jewish kid growing up in the bible belt of america. only church of christ and baptists where i live. no synagogue. just churches...so i havent really fully kept the jewish faith, but hey...
anyway...ive always been lucy. the happy-funny-hippie-jew. i was one of a kind LITTERALLY because like i said im the only jew.
so its hard to be happy all the time. i joke with people about being jewish because it IS funny. i understand and appreciate comedy, but it hurts sometimes. you know?

ive been really pissed off lately. one guy came in the store yesterday, and i didnt give him enough change. it was like a dollar and 10 cents. and he came in and said "you jewed me out". and he was the pastor of some baptist chuch about 4 miles up the road. usually id laugh about this...but yesterday...i just felt like comming across the counter and kicking his asshole up between his eyeballs and tell him...i dont know what. i was so mad. i just put the correct change on the counter and walked off.

i havent said anything about this because i dont want to be the one to complain. i dont want to feel like im fishing for sympathy or whatever they think. i just had to get this out.

i dont understand it. why is it that something i used to just let roll off my shoulder one day and want to go ape shit the next?

Aw. My friend Benjamin is Jewish and he has a pretty keen sense of humor. He's sort of like you, "the funny Jewish kid." He loves telling jokes, but when it comes to Jewish humor, that's when it hurts the most. When people that don't understand you or don't appreciate what you are say things that mean everything to you, it really hits close to home. If people say something about my religion or my race or whatever, something negative, then I'd be the one knocking out their lights. Haha, even though I'm not very violent. Jokes are meant to be taken lightly, but some jokes just go way too far. I hope you feel even better!

LUCY<3 · Jul 10th 2007, 12:54am

yeah, true. but yeah. i thought it was funny and it just hit me today.

LUCY<3 · Jul 10th 2007, 1:28am

dude, anyone else?

Kenna&Katherine · Jul 10th 2007, 1:38am

I know exactly what you mean. Being of Greek Orthodox religion is tough sometimes too. Just PM me if you need to talk : )

Perhaps you just felt like it was a little too much, and it finally went over the top.

LUCY<3 · Jul 10th 2007, 1:53am

haha!
i wanted to kick him sooo bad!

Josh · Jul 10th 2007, 1:55am

LUCY<3 · Jul 10th 2007, 1:58am

Beepem · Jul 10th 2007, 3:22am

Maybe you just had it up to here and blew up. It happens to the best of us, Lucy.

Mama Bear · Jul 10th 2007, 3:40pm

Well, I am Catholic, so I couldn't feel what you are going through, but..
You have a sense of humor, and you don't take shit as offencively as others do, which is a good thing. Like Fay said, you just had it, the joke just went too far, and you just snapped.

Phuck Buddy · Jul 10th 2007, 5:45pm

maybe you should stop being a whiny jew-bagel girl!

i'm totally j/k... i'm in the tribe also

That shit happenns, but I would have totally told him off if it upset you.

Where in the bible belt do you live?

LUCY<3 · Jul 10th 2007, 10:20pm

mississippi.

fanfan · Jul 11th 2007, 11:25am

i would feel the same if i were in your situation.. this is complete racism and i hate racism.

LUCY<3 · Jul 11th 2007, 9:00pm

the guy wasnt really being racist. i know he didnt really mean anything by it. people say stupid things and words just cant be taken back.

Absolutely Unsure · Jul 13th 2007, 7:52pm

I think that it's a lot different when your friends comment on you being Jewish and stuff like that, but sometimes when total strangers are teasing you about your religion and the stereotypes that come with it (as innocent as his comment was), it really gets to you. My bff is a Jew, she makes jokes about it all the time, And actually her name is Suzanne, so I always call her Suzie Jew and she loves it lol. Sometimes people just push your buttons when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Being at the store, helping a customer when he said that... for you, that wouldn't be the right place or the right time. I'm sure if you were all sitting at the bar and someone said that, you'd have laughed it off like normal. But in a place of business where you're trying to be professional, comments like that can get to you.

Wicked_Gymnast · Jul 13th 2007, 10:38pm

I get teased because I am black and I am christian, so I know how you feel. Althought the vast majority of my friends share my religion, there are those who although they are christian, they don't follow the same beliefs or they are simply spiritual and not religious so they tease me about how strict I am on some issues. I just take it from them because I know they love me for who I am, and my non-friends can bite my ass if they don't like my beliefs. Does that make sense? if not I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I tend to ramble when I am. But I think it depends on who you hear the joke from for it to be offensive or not...
