Don't Ask Me

Questions Not to Ask Me:

1. So...did you pass?
2. So how do you think you did?
3. Was the test hard?
4. I have a problem, can you give me some legal advice?

Maybe I am just being a grouch, but I am sick of the people asking me about the bar. Do not ask me shit about the bar, ever. If I want to talk about it I will. Otherwise, never bring it up. I have been doing a pretty good job about not thinking about it and people that try to re-open that wound are really starting to irritate me.

Also, just because I graduated from law school doesn't mean that I either know anything about the law, or want to help you with your particular legal problem. I am not a walking, free legal aid.

Someone actually had the nerve today, to ask me how to help a 26 year old guy that was convicted of molesting a 14 year old girl. Obviously this person had no idea that I was the absolute last person that he should have asked this question. Although I am against the death penalty, I would gladly make an exception for child molesters and rapists in a second. I was so angry my head almost exploded. The guy was lucky he was a friend of my significant other. Had he not been my sweetie's co-worker I would have ripped his head off. Instead I practically growled that a 14 girl is incapable of giving consent (despite his protest to the contrary) and walked away. What the hell is wrong with some people?
