A couple of weeks ago, I blew off this chick that I had been regularly seeing on the weekends. It actually wasn't intentional, I had just gotten busy with work, hobbies and other women. Anyway, just about the time I was thinking about calling her, I get an email from her. She says she feels disrespected that I haven't talked to her in two weeks, that she thought we had something more than that. She said that I 'owed' her an explanation, etc.
Ok...so that pretty much sealed the deal on that one. That was just too much. I decide that I'm definitely not going to talk to her anymore. NEXT!
Fast-forward to tonight. I wait tables at a fairly busy restaurant in a shopping mall. We're in the middle of the dinner rush. The restaurant is packed. I'm standing in front of a table taking an order from a black couple.
Guy: Aight...lemme get a burger. Put some cheese on it.
I start to write his order on my tablet when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to my right, and it's HER.
HBPsycho: Good to see ya.
And the bitch tries to KNEE ME IN THE BALLS!
I say 'she tried' because she actually missed and kind of grazed my thigh. She did come close though. Then she turns and walks away quickly. Like, she's almost running out of the place.
Now, being that I'm trained in the art of frame control, I turn back to the table as if nothing had happened at all.
Johnny: How would you like that burger cooked, sir?
Guy: What da *beep*?
Johnny: I said how would you like that burger done, sir?
Guy: Ah yeah...done. WELL done.
I finish taking the order and go to put it into the computer. As I'm doing so, the thought occurs to me that this girl had probably thought that coming into my workplace and doing what she did was going to be this Hollywood-esque moment of humiliation for me. Like, she probably imagined that the whole place would go silent for a moment. Everyone would stop eating and stare. A fork would drop on a plate on the far side of the room. Heart-broken heroine, exit stage right.
But it didn't happen like that.
She pictured herself as Carrie running up and humiliating Mr. Big like with flowers, you could tell, she tried to be dramatic and everything, but it was an epic fail
