Baroda is a more friendly state for doing business . <| sep |> no fucking way . well i guess we know who wins the deft and mata sweepstakes . <| sep |> I moved from a small conservative town in Idaho to a very liberal area near Seattle . I thought that because I was in one of the most liberal places in the country I wouldn ' t face the kind of prejudice and microaggressions that that I faced in Idaho . Every time it happens I am so shocked . A while back I was at the veterinarian with my girlfriend , her sister , our dog , and her sister ' s dog . Our dog and her sister ' s dog got into a scuffle so we were getting them both checked out for injuries . My girlfriend and her sister were in the exam room with one dog while I was in the waiting area with the other . I was just casually chatting with an nice older lady about our pets and she asked if the other dog was a rescue . I said , Oh , no . He ' s my girlfriend ' s sister ' s dog . She just moved in with us and brought her dog with her . The lady made a face like she ' d eaten a lemon . She scowled at me , physically turned her body away from me , and immediately stopped talking to me . All because I casually referred to my girlfriend as my girlfriend . It ' s 2016 , I live in one of the most liberal places in the US , and I ' m expected to keep on pretending to be gal pals ? What the fuck !
