Pretty Privilege?

How was the mechanic? Didn’t you have to leave your car with them and then go to work?

I don’t start work yet, and yes… I did go there… and then… they looked at the actual problem — and then, they fixed it in 10 minutes? And they didn’t charge me anything?!

What?!

Yeah. Because I have the other service booked in February, they said, this isn’t a big issue. They could fix it for me straight away. And I offered to pay but they said, “Don’t worry about it.”

Like, I know it still cost them materials, time and labour to fix it, even if it only took 10 minutes. But they just did it. Out of the kindness of their hearts?!

(Rolling his eyes) They think YOU’RE PRETTY. That’s why you got the FREE SERVICE.

Noooo… (We’ve literally had this argument about mechanics before!!!) I’m almost 40. YEARS. OLD. nowwww… they’re not treating me nicely because they think I’m pretty?!?!

You don’t LOOK 40. You definitely got that service because of pretty privilege.

Are you jealous?! Are you getting jealous?!?!?!

A little bit, yes…

No… they were totally harmless… It was actually the first time that I went to the mechanics and I felt really calm and secure — because in my mind — emotionally, I am a married woman.

Oh?

Yes, it was an interesting first for me… I just, relaxed around the guys… and I guess, they just treated me like a sister? It’s just a simple thing. They just fixed it for me in 10 minutes. It wasn’t a big deal.

You think they just gave you free service because they saw you as a sister? (Laughing)

Yeah?

A very PRETTY sister…

(Ew!!) (Laughing)

They were very nice and I promised I would email them a testimonial for their website.

Oh, I see — so there was some sort of exchange.

Yes! I couldn’t just let them fix that little thing in my car for me free of charge. I had to repay them somehow. Emailed testimonial for their website seems like a good deal.

Okay, yeah, that seems fair… Did you… smile at them?

Of course?! I smiled and said “Thanks” — ?!?! (Where is he going with this?!)

(Rolling his eyes) Well you just MADE THEIR DAYS…

Did I?!?!

Yes! Because you SMILED at them. And you’re PRETTY. You just made those guys’ days.

(Laughing) I think you’re the ONLY ONE projecting here! They’re just normal guys. I’m just a normal Millennial, almost-40 lady! I wasn’t even wearing makeup. I was just in shorts and a T-shirt.

Oh FUCK. That’s when you’re MOST. SEXY. (Shaking his head!!!) Nah. They think you’re like, 21? 22?! You look YOUNG. And you’re PRETTY. And you SMILED. And you said “Thanks!” — You got that service for free because of PRETTY PRVILEDGE!!! JUST ADMIT IT!!!

Oh my god, why does it even matter?! Why is this a thing?!?!!?

(Laughing) Because… I have a whole glamour team… and I make my fans’ days… sometime they tell me I’m “pretty” — but I’m not pretty in the same way that you’re pretty… you’re NATURALLY pretty… your smile, your everything… YOUR BEAUTY…

Stop it!!!

You just made those guys’ days. I mean, what are their lives like normally? Just wake up. Go to work. Fix some cars… then you appear… you smiled, you said “Thanks” — Phwoarr~~ (holding his hands to his heart) — You just made their days. Maybe even their whole weeks!

(Giggling, smiling) I don’t believe it… I think it’s your projection… (hug hug kiss kiss)
