A funny thing happened Friday at work. I have to share. This is dedicated to all you other guys out there who don’t get no respect from the fairer sex.
I had to go to another facility to inspect some hardware for a project I’m working on. I stopped at the security desk to check in, and I needed to call someone working in the building as an escort. At the desk was a security guard in uniform (male), two ladies who handle signing in and out, and another guy. There were a couple other people walking in and out, doing there thing. I check in, but one lady is on the phone, so I have to wait till she’s done for them to call. No sweat, I stand there. The woman on the phone was young and very attractive. She’s carrying on a conversation talking about Candida yeast infection, and how “doctors don’t believe in it”.
The other lady left to run and errand. She finished up the call, then placed my call for me. So I was waiting at the desk for my escort to show up. She then starts to say something to the other guys behind the desk about having had an interesting conversation that morning, but is interrupted by one of them saying something about her going to lunch. She answered that. She answered the phone again, spoke briefly, and hung up. So I’m still waiting for my escort, I decide to see what she was going to say about the “interesting conversation”. I chime in with, “So you said something about -”
She interrupts me to say “You can’t come.” ::Looks both ways.:: Where did that come from? It seems she jumped to the conclusion that I was going to invite myself to her lunch plans or something. I was taken aback for a moment, then proceeded with my intended comment, “So you said something about an interesting conversation.” She briefly mentioned the phone conversation, then got up to run an errand. Now my interest was piqued, so I had to say something. So I restated, “So I’m not invited?” She said no and walked out.
It’s me and the two guys sitting there, one looking at his computer screen doing his own thing, the other looks up at me kinda smirking. I start grinning, “Wow, that was funny.” He says, “That’s the fastest I’ve ever seen anyone shot down.” I was shot down before launching. I wasn’t even hitting on her, and pow.
sigh How’s that for luck? The worst part is it’s one of the things I really hate - the public rejection like that. Makes me feel like a schmuck, and I didn’t even do anything.
I guess in her defense she probably is hit on a lot, but still…
Well, at least I got this funny story out of it. (I’m still cracking up over it as I tell it right now.) :: Grinning and shaking head. ::
