A blind date set up by mutual friends.
I hear there are really nice places to eat in Memphis, so I make the drive from Nashville.
I get to this guys house and it is really sparsely decorated. I go in and sit on the couch and this guy is watching the Olympics. We sit for 1/2 an hour or so... he doesn't offer me a drink or anything. I ask to use the bathroom. The fridge has pics of a woman and kids magnetted to it. A few minutes later, the phone rings. He takes it in the kitchen, leaving me in the living room to watch the Olympics by myself. I hear him screaming.... fvk you!!! You left, you are getting nothing!!! Bring my kids back, you b!tch!! Slams the phone down, comes back to the living room and sits on the couch like nothing happened.
I drove a LONG way and am starving, so.... Finally I am like... uh, are we going for dinner? He is disappointed that we don't get to watch more teevee. He insists we take his car. Fine. He drives like 10 miles an hour and the whole time he is looking in the rear view mirror. I did not realize until later that he was looking at himself in it.
We get to the restaurant. He parks four blocks away, on a side street, so he doesnt have to spend the $5.00 parking. I wait for him to open the door, but he does not at first. So, I wait another few seconds. Finally, he opens the door and walks thru it himself. I roll my eyes. He is not paying attention. We sit, I look at the menu. the waitress comes and he immediately order for both of us. Well, he ordered one pizza and tells the waitress we are gonna split it. The pizza arrives and I cannot even identify half the stuff on it, so end up scraping it all off and eating crust and sauce.
the whole time... this guy is talking about how fit he is, how much he runs, how much he loves his hair, how often woman turn their heads to look at him when he walks by. Understand, this is a skinny little guy who might be fit from running ... but he is still a skinny little short guy! I lost count of how many time I looked at my watch during dinner.
Finally the check arrives. The waitress puts it on the table in front of him. He does not make any attempt to pay it... doesnt even lift it to look at it. So, after another 10 minutes or so, the waitress starts clearing the table in a hint that it is Saturday night, and she needs to turn the table to make some money. I can stand it no more and reach for it myself. He says nothing. I take out my wallet and he says.... "Oh, would you like to split that? I will pay my half" I almost choked right at the table. I said I would pay, he could just leave the tip... I told him the check was $25.00. He took out TWO one dollar bills to leave on the table and got up to leave. I made sure he watched me take out another $5.00 to add to it.
We leave, again he opens the door and walks thru it... I have to put my hand out to stop it from hitting me.
We get to the car. I stand at it an wait for him to open it. He clicks the remote and opens HIS door. I wait. He gets in and shouts... "It's open" I shout back, "It may be unlocked, but it certainly isn't open!" .... nothing... so I get in and slam the door. He starts the engine but it is another two minutes while he adjust the mirror, fluffs his Roger Daltrey hair and then pulls out. There is silence all the way back and I can only think of my long drive home.
We get to his house, I get my keys out and head for my car. He says "you are not coming in?" I say... really sarcastically... "No, I don't think so". He says... "You mean it is Saturday night and I am gonna spend the night alone?" I mumble something about a whore house and a fitful of hundreds and take off.
On the long drive home, I call my friend who set this up and b!tch her out.
For almost two weeks this guy kept calling me and emailing me wanting to know why I left so early and if I would go out with him again. When finally told him that I thought he was an ill mannered dick, he was surprised. He spent another week emailing me, trying to convince me that I was wrong.
Hahaha!!!
