i was in starbuck’s this morning….interesting topic on how men and women interact in usa…
behind me was a woman of around 27 years old. she was wearing a suit…
a gentleman comes behind her… who is about 30 years old. roughly my height, and a bit stalky.
He starts to conversee with her …. what follows is a memory based reinactment of their discussion….
him: “Hi! you work around here?”
her – yes i do! you?
him – yes. what do you do?
her – oh, i work as a secretary for an IT firm…
him – oh yeah? you enjoy going to lunch around here?
her – yes, there’s a lot of really good restaurants…
him – you know, i work in a publication house that manages various newspaper prints… i know many good restaurants from the reviews….. you should let me show you some …..
her – stop right there big boy. (actual words used!) I dont’ know you , nor do i care to.
him – (looks sheepishly shy around the room… quiet)
her – ….. (no conversing anymore)
after they order their coffee… they are waiting in line to pick up the drinks…. she gets hers first… she turns to him…
slaps him on the back (like how athletes slap themselves…)
and says out loud…
“GOOD TRY buddy… see ya around, dude!”
