mortensorchid Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 This is my first posting here on this website. I was doing a search for something else and clicked on it. I thought it was a nice idea and thought I would share a very funny story about a real jerk I had the misfortune of meeting a while back. And to also let some people on this forem know that they are not the only ones who have been mistreated, and stand up for yourself when you get the opportunity. About a year ago I was on MySpace, when one night I get an instant message from someone. I live in a suburb of Cleveland, OH, he lived in a town near Sandusky, OH (just to get your geography strait). We were just talking, just "Hi how are you type stuff". At least, that's how I saw it. I go to his MySpace profile and the lead picture is of him with this other woman. I asked who the woman in the picture was, he said she was a friend, and I left it at that. We continue to chat over Yahoo IM for the next few days, and he tells me that he's moving to Colorado in a few weeks. I asked what brought this on, he said that he apologized about being so flirty with me (not that I noticed), but he said the woman in the picture was getting a divorce and he was then going to move out to Colorado (where she lives) to be with her. I said "Oh ok, good luck with that then." A few days later he said he isn't moving. The woman in Colorado said she doesn't want to get into anything too quickly as she is divorcing and needed some time to adjust. Understandable. Then one day out of the blue, he said he was going to be in town for a ball game and did I want to meet him? So, I decided I would. I meet him down at the stadium, take him to a bar nearby and we sit and talk. He seemed nice enough, chatty and pleasent at the very least. Then I noticed that his face was all pink and flushed. I asked him "Um ... Are you drunk?". He said "Oh yeah, I'm really drunk right now!". Not to sound like a prude or a nag, but I said to him "You know, this is not a job interview or anything, but it's really not cool to show up drunk to meet someone you've never met before." But I let it drop, and soon after we parted. A few days later, he asked if I wanted to come out to Sandusky to see him. I asked what there was to do out there, he said we should go to an amusement park nearby where they have haunted houses through Halloween. Plans were made via Yahoo IM. Then he said he would clean up the guest room at his house so I could stay there. I said "NO." He asked why not. I said I didn't care if he was a prince, I was either going to stay at a hotel or drive back home that night because I didn't even know him. He seemed to accept this with some reluctance. Then he said he wanted to sign off because his favorite TV show was on and he wanted to watch it. Now, that is rude as hell as far as I'm concerned. Those tenative plans were made on a Tuesday. Wednesday, I hear nothing from him. Thursday, nothing. Friday nothing. It gets to be Saturday at 5 pm, and I decided I wasn't going anywhere so I settled in for the night. The next morning on Sunday I sign into the computer and he's there. He said "Hey, what happened yesterday?" I leaned into him then. Him : Huh?! What's that about? Me: You blew me off, that's what that's about! H : No I didn't! (Sure enough I check my cell phone and I have a txt message from him) M : Oh really? So let's go over this one more time ... We make a plan on Tuesday. I hear nothing Wed - Friday, then at 10 pm you send me a txt msg. So you expect me to drop everything, get into the car, drive out to Sandusky at 10 pm on a Saturday night, pay $40+ dollars for a park ticket, then spend the night combing the park looking for you?!?!?! H : Oh ... Well ok, I guess I screwed up. But I want this relationship to work. I'll get into the car and drive out there now to see you if I have to! M : Relationship!?!? WHAT RELATIONSHIP!?!?!?? Remember this next time, you vain, narcistic (blank)! So remember ladies, don't take s--- from anyone.
Racquel Colette Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Yes, the straw for me would have been showing up drunk for the first meeting.
LaughMachine Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 haha what a loser!!! hey quick question though " You know, this is not a job interview or anything, but it's really not cool to show up drunk to meet someone you've never met before" Have you gone drunk to an interview before ?
amaysngrace Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Have you gone drunk to an interview before ? That's a little unemployment trick...when you don't want the job because you'd rather just take the paid vacation. You don't have to be drunk. You just have to smell like you are.
whichwayisup Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 All I can say is EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Plus it sounds like his life is a mess, or just full of tons of drama. Block him on your IM.
