While I've not been terribly impressed by Ms. Barton in any way, I have to say I'm with Robin in feeling that I'd have been a wee bit nonplussed in the same circumstances.
Definitely her loss, but not particularly bitchy, imo.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woah, Allyson, those pictures are amazing.
As an aside, I am ALWAYS coming back on Saturday after a vacation. None of this straight to work crap. Lazing around yesterday was so incredibly wonderful.
That is awesome. It just calls for taking enough time off at once. It doesn't really work with, say, a long weekend....

I had no celebrity sightings over Christmas, but then again, I didn't exactly leave Michigan.
I did find out one of my cousins was taking up modeling professionally, though.

Trust my rage
But if you are a famous person, you should expect slightly unusual reactions from strangers. 15 seconds of friendliness can go a long way - especially when you are a sort of B-list star and not Angelina Jolie or something.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe she was having a bad day.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think Ms. Barton would have enjoy talking to P-C, so it's her loss. I would also guess that P-C, being a nice fellow, has no idea how much stalky stuff most women deal with on a regular basis and how gunshy it makes us. When I used to teach sex-ed, I would ask how many of the students (this was 8th graders) had been followed or propositioned in a creepy way. Every time ALL the girls raised their hands, while none of the boys did. And this was 13-year-olds. By the time most women get to be 21, they have a long list of events like guys following them through malls or rubbing against them in movie theaters or staring at them across a library or other creepy stuff. Makes us hyperaware.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
By the time I was 13, so many men had pulled their penises out of their pants when I was doing my paper route, that it didn't mean anything anymore. It wasn't scary or weird after awhile. It wasn't until I was much older that I realized how sick it was.
I was just always like, "ew."

Oh, hell yeah.
Damn it, I had something else to say, but now I forgot.

I remember being stopped by a flasher in a parked car in NYC who asked me through the open window "Do you want to see my dick?" at which point years of waspy upbringing kicked in and I said, "No, thank you." very brightly and kept walking.
