<wee bit of a rant>
This has been irking me for quite a while.
Christ almighty, you helpless mooches, get your own stripperkit together already! Your first night or two is excusable, but come ON. Stop asking me every single night for wipes, tampons, power bars, mints, hairspray, and on and on and on!!! Take some pride in what you do! Haven't you ever heard of the concept of being "professional"? Yeah, you, the girl who's been working here longer than I have. Try being self-sufficient for a change! And I fucking hate sharing things like wipes and mascara with strangers whose personal hygiene might be suspect.
I spend not only a good amount of money but a good amount of TIME on making sure I am always fully stocked on these things, and a lot of my stuff is actually high quality. That Bath & Body Works vanilla hand sanitizer? I didn't buy it for the general public to help themselves to. That Urban Decay glitter you've now asked to use the last four nights we've worked together? That's fucking expensive. Yes, I let you try it once. That is not a standing invitation to use it every night thereafter.
And come on. When you ask to borrow my cell phone for an "urgent" call (since your phone is shut off because you can't manage to pay your bill, yet somehow mysteriously manage to cough up the dough for a huge, elaborate tattoo), you had goddamned well better not still be sitting there chatting with your boyfriend when I return to the dressing room (from working, by the way, try it sometime) HALF AN HOUR LATER, the battery now drained to the last bar. And when I tell you that no, you can't try my Dry Hands that I use for the pole because I'm down to the last few drops and I need to make it last the rest of the night, sheesh, don't ask again! Not even with a "Please, just a little?" The one half-assed spin in your repertoire won't be vastly improved by using it anyway, I promise.

Ugh. I really don't like being selfish. I think of myself as a generous person, and honestly, I have no problem with loaning out things in emergencies! Obviously, I need to learn how to say NO - and it wouldn't be the first time I've been accused of being a pushover, so ultimately it's my own fault if other girls are sponging off me. But I'd like to think that karma should allow for this, so I'd hate to pitch a big diva fit about how we shouldn't have to borrow things from each other, and then run out of tampons at just the wrong moment.
We should all be able to help each other out when it's really needed, but using my entire kaboodle night after night . . . Just because you and your best friend work out of the same duffel bag doesn't mean that you have unlimited access to mine, too!
