I get it. You are twenty-something and have the world by the ass. Good for you. That does not give you the right to diss me and my highly artistic, efficient, professional friends in their early-to-mid thirties by calling us COUGARS and otherwise insulting us just because we had the unfortunate luck to be sitting next to you. Here is a tip: Spend less time being a mean idiot and being a good, karma abiding member of the universe and maybe, JUST MAYBE, you will be as cool as me and my friends when you are our age. Which, by the way, is only five years around the block? You f***ing morons. —30-something and proud of the wisdom

While it may not be a politically correct term, in some circles being a ‘cougar’ just means ‘an attractive older woman’. I mean, you can take it as an insult, but it sounds like your insecurities with age run deeper than whatever off hand comment you thought you heard.
Someone doesn’t know what a cougar is. But the server has no right to make snide remarks. So more importantly, did you tell management? If not, why not. I would have, after I would have torn a strip off the idiot server. Was this in a coffee shop with persnickety coffee wenches?
saying bad things about bad people isn’t good karma.
A 30 something is NOT a cougar. Idiots.
The problem is that you have highly, artistic, efficient, professional friends (whatever the hell that means) instead of just plain old regular friends.
When you’re forty-something, you’ll learn to ignore nonsense…
I love cougars! Just cause you’re 30 doesn’t make you wise, you weren’t wise enough to not be offended by the term “cougar” so you still got some growin up to do methinks!
