So that last post reminded me of another recent interaction with the opposite sex.  Remember when I said, “If you’re going to interrupt a perfectly delightful conversation at least have some conversation to back up your interruption,”?  Not only did this guy not have anything to add he just came off as a super creepy weirdo.

I was having a girls night out with one of my friends and we went to one of our neighborhood bars for some wine.  We picked out a table against the wall and since there were two of us, we only filled two of the four seats, leaving two seats open to the world.  This was obviously a terrible tragedy that needed to be rectified.  How could two lovely ladies possibly survive at a watering hole by themselves??!  I JUST DON’T KNOW!

I’m assuming that was the thought process that went through the dude’s mind when he plopped down into one of the empty chairs.  You would expect if someone is going to be that imposing they would at least offer some reason as to why they are there.  Nope.  Not the case.

Dude just sat down and when we stopped our conversation and looked over at him to see what he wanted he said, “Oh!  Don’t mind me.  Finish your conversation.”

Ooooh, how polite of you!

We just stared for a moment, then tried to start our conversation again but he was just watching us.  I tried a couple times to see what he wanted, all with the same response,”I don’t want to interrupt, please continue!”

After a couple minutes of this, I just said, “Hey.  What’s the deal?”  To which he finally launches into his spiel.

“I just thought it was a shame that there were these two beautiful women sitting by themselves.”

“Excuse me?”

He pretty much ignores this and starts chatting us up with some eye glazing blather.  We tolerate this for a few minutes (way longer than we should have) and then I  say, “Hey look, I don’t mean to be rude, but we haven’t seen each other for a while, do you mind?”

“Oh! Oh yeah, of course!  You guys have a nice night.”

This is why one of my New Years resolutions is to be meaner.
