loremipsum Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 A few months ago at a bar I approached a guy and asked if I could sit down. He said point-blank: “I have a boyfriend but you wanna stay and chat?” I was like “yeah okay” and we talked for a bit and then his friend abruptly rushed up and exclaimed to him, dramatically and in earnest, “your boyfriend’s here!” I look and about ten feet behind him is a guy staring at me and approaching slowly. I calmly (but immediately) got up and walked back to my friends and took a seat with my back to the scene. My friend said that they kept looking over at me. In retrospect, I think that my wordlessly getting up and walking off may have actually worsened the optics of that tableau. Perhaps I should have stayed and introduced myself to the boyfriend, all sweetness and light. At any rate, I found out that they’re not together anymore, so I shouldn’t have the same problem next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said point-blank: “I have a boyfriend but you wanna stay and chat?” "Actually, I was just looking for a seat, not a relationship". :-D Although, I've run into similar situations once or twice at work, places where I'm just casually out (ie, I don't make any effort to hide it, but don't broadcast it either). A female co-worker will ask if I want to grab a coffee or something and I wonder if I should say something like "You know I'm gay, right?" Which could invite a response of "it's only coffee, I wasn't proposing a date". loremipsum, rvwnsd and + azdr0710 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMattBig Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Wouldn't that depend on which campus? Lol, I remember when I first found out there was another USC (University of South Carolina). Being from southern California, I only knew University of Southern California. I felt so silly. What I overheard was directions from the Galen Center in Southern California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvwnsd Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Lol, I remember when I first found out there was another USC (University of South Carolina). Being from southern California, I only knew University of Southern California. I felt so silly... A colleague kept referring to "IU" and I finally corrected him and said "It is the U of I." He informed me he was referring to "Indiana University." Being from Chicago, "IU" was pretty meaningless. Like you, silly and embarrassed were the feelings running through my mind.

+ poolboy48220 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 In other news, on 8 March The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy turned 42. That is all. Nice, a man who knows his various incarnations of HHGTTG. From Wikipedia The series was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 10.30pm on Wednesday 8 March 1978. I first heard it on NPR, I'd tuned in to listen to the radio serialization of "Star Wars", which was playing Thursday nights, and they broadcast Hitchhiker's following that. I missed the first episode, caught part of the second, and was hooked at that point. Judging by when those were broadcast, I'm guessing this was March 1981.
