c/d - Other people making blatant plays for your significant other

When we lived in Ohio, Mrs Adam (then not yet Mrs Adam) worked at the flagship location for a local chain of gyms. I would often work out there and I got on fairly well with her co-workers, one of whom was a friendly-giant type called Jimmy. Jimmy was a nice guy but a little slow. He had a thick Appalachian accent and would sweat a lot. He would often talk to me while mopping the floor or polishing the mirrors or whatever.

However, on Mrs Adam's last day at work, he approached her to say his goodbyes and, almost in tears, explained that "Adam is a great guy and everything but you and me, we're like the Titanic, we're meant to be together". Somehow she managed to say a platonic goodbye and get out of there without becoming a lampshade.

Has this ever happened to you? Maybe in front of your very eyes?

I think he meant "we are LIKE THE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE TITANIC".

maybe "we are like the Titanic and an iceberg, we are meant to be together and cause major destruction"

She should have replied, singing, "I wanna sink to the bottom with you... The ocean is big and blue..."

This is CLASSIC! Unless your S/O reciprocates, in which case it's DUD. Although if they videotape it and it's actually kind of hot it inches back towards CLASSIC!

Somehow this doesn't surprise me, Dan.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Oh! I forgot the other part!

I guess it was also implied that I was in turn like the Billy Zane character in Titanic!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

somehow

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

well, any comparison with billy zane is pretty fuckin classic!

No shit!

I also got the flipside of this when this Israeli girl developed some kind of crush in me while I was in NYC. She asked Mrs Adam, who was there on a visit, how long she was in town. As soon as she got the reply "until Thursday" she turned straight to me and went "HEY ADAM DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER AND WATCH A MOVIE ON THURSDAY NIGHT?".

The titles for that girl's student movie were longer than the movie itself.

also dud: your girlfriend not being able to talk to one of your mutual male friends, with whom she gets on very well, without his vastly fucked-up, petty-minded ex telling everyone he wants to shag her.

― log doubt, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

the same fucked-up, petty-minded woman, it should be added, who once drunkenly came on to you in the back of a taxi.

― log doubt, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

one of my exes had a female friend who would always call up and end her messages with "i love you!" he swore it was because she was a drama fag.

Not really related, but I had a peripheral friend in college who used to date everybody's exes. It was pretty funny as soon as one of us would break up with a girlfriend we'd start a pool for how long it would take before he made his move.

MRS ADAM: There was no such fucking thing as the Ti-fucking-tanic.

JIMMY: So people went to sea...

MRS ADAM: People thought it was the Titanic but it wasn't. They went to sea on Winston's bogie. And the fucker sank.

I was on a horrible date one time, having coffee with this girl who was a horrible, horrible person (for reasons related to high ego/republican politics), when this hipster douchebag walks by, looks at her, and just starts talking to her. the first thing he actually says is, "Your eyes...they're very intense...very brown...deep...like pools of brown..." and she says, "oh thank you!" and they start having a conversation, flirting and all this. The guy looks at me and says, "Is this cool? I don't want to bust in or nothing." I enthused, "Continue on! I need to make a call anyway!" So i called a friend and said I'd be ready to go drinking in about ten minutes, which I was.

"Those soft pools of brown looked into mine and it was if the dog spoke. "I know you are hurting, but if you give me a chance I will heal that hurt and love you unconditionally for the rest of my days. Please take me home."

another time when I was a junior in high school, i went out on a date with a college girl, which I thought was awesome. we ended up going to an Applebee's in Rockford, and she got totally trashed. apparently she knew a lot of the guys there, because she started going around to other tables, grabbing her tits and shaking them at each guy, and then when she finally returned to the table and sat down, she said, "You just watch, honey. Give it five minutes and these guys will all come over here. They totally want to get their hands on....(and then standing up, turning to the room, and shouting)...these FORTY DOUBLE D'S!!!"

This elicited a lot of hollerin'. My expression this entire time was something like this, except more pained: : o

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

This kind of thing used to make me crazy, but I'm over it. It's flattering for you SO and if they really act on something like that, well, then that's what's going to happen whether you get upset about it or not.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

40DDs? gross.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Gear, seriously. Your contributions to humanity cannot be overstated. Wow.

did you hit it gear?

I got mugged leaving an Applebee's once. Fuck Applebee's!

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

Once I was at Ruby Tuesday's with my brother and the waitress was just making an idiot of herself over him, leaning into him to pour his drink and asking stupid questions. She somehow snuck in the question "Do are you guys brother and sister, or, like, dating?"
To which Nate replied "Both" and she shrank away in abject horror.

(Hahahaha also it really awesome to imagine that Spencer's post is a direct answer to Gear's!)

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

This shit has happened to me with nearly every soul I've dated. (Uh, not the gargantuan juggalo shaking, of course.)

i did not hit it however i think she hit it with a guy from a couple of tables back. we were not a good match. I met her while playing pool at a place in downtown Rockford. she was a sophisticated college girl, I was a simple high school boy, we were never meant to be.

Matt Dillon tried to catch my wife's eye once in a hamburger joint on Columbus Ave, when I was sitting RIGHT THERE. Tool.

it wasn't a date, but one time I was having a "business meeting" with some attractive woman about twenty years older than me. she asked me to meet her at some art gallery show in Venice, and we started talking about some project or job or whatever, and this guy started following us around, interjecting here and there. I figured she knew the guy! as it turned out, she didn't. apparently the guy used to lived in an apartment in NYC, paying a few grand per month, but he gave it all up in a noble manner to crash with a few bros in some shitty apartment in Venice because "I just wanted to live by the ocean for once in my life". I noted that NYC was by an ocean and he said nothing. He followed us to a bar, to a restaurant, to a bookstore, and finally she "gave him a ride home" as she gave me a ride back to my car. we stopped in front of his place and he handed the woman his card and begged, "Won't you call me? You're wonderful!" She smiled and said, "Of course." He skipped off into the night.

Then she actually handed me the card and said, "Destroy this, please".

not a significant other, but funny.

Careful, now. There ain't no way to hide your flying eyes.
