Yesterday my department at work had a golf outing. I work with 37 engineers, and I'm the only female. I don't golf (although I enjoyed it), but I put together a pretty nice outing if I do say so myself. :smooth:

Anyway, we had a BBQ afterwards, and significant others were invited. One of the guys brought this woman he's been seeing, and I knew she'd probably be your typical "looker" just knowing his personality. She was thin, bleach blonde, weathered skin from tanning too much, but nice looking, and seemed to be just his type. He's a bit into women (if you know what I mean), and while I'm not particularly found of that personality, I do enjoy him as a co-worker. So as I'm on my out to my car to grab a sweatshirt because I'm chilled, I stop by them to meet her. When I tell them where I'm headed, she mentions she's cold too, so I offer to bring her a jacket. She says she would like that, so I grabbed both my sweatshirt and my jacket from the car. I put the sweatshirt on as I walked back, and handed them the jacket on my way through. I didn't see this part, but my DBF said that he held the jacket out for her, and she pushed it away. I hadn't noticed all this, and a couple of minutes later had to head into the Pro-shop for something. As I passed them, I see him still holding the jacket, and he says (with tension), "I guess she's not cold". I look up at her, and she's says, "I want the sweatshirt." :rolleyes: Now I'm pretty petite (5'2", 110, small frame), and while she was thin herself, she was taller and consequently stronger framed than I am. The sweatshirt is a small from Aeropostale (a teenage store), and fits me perfectly (not oversized). There is no way she would fit this sweatshirt (which is why I didn't give her a choice in the first place), but I started to take it off anyway. My co-worker says "No, she doesn't need the sweatshirt. She'll be fine", and hands me the jacket back. I think he was kind of embarrassed and a little frustrated with her. Personally, I wanted to see her try to get in that sweatshirt.... that would have been funny!! :rotfl: It would have served her right.

Can you believe the nerve though?? I was just shocked when she said it. My jacket is a Cabela's jacket (green and yellow), and probably not her style, but jeepers.... are you that vain????? :rolleyes:
 
At least your co-worker seemed put off by it too. Who knows, he might start to look past "looks" and go for some brains now.
 

Jeez Louise, beggars can't be choosers. You were nice enough to lend her something and then she was all snippy about what she got? You handled it very nicely--I'd have probably said, "Sorry, I'm wearing the sweatshirt." :teeth:

A LOT of four-letter words apply to this situation. But yours is nicer, and mine would get me banned. :teeth:

heheh...let the TART freeze.

seriously - she's got "a pair" on her eh? "no - I want what you are wearing"
sheesh!
 
Sounds like he's choosing women based on "looks" rather than personality, class, decorum, so what does he expect???????

You get what you pay for. ;)
 
You are a much bigger person than I am. I would have grabbed the jacket said a few not so ladylike words and walked away. Holy cow. What nerve.

Thanks for my laugh for the afternoon.

I want the sweatshirt. ;)




















Some people have no class. :sad2:
 
If anyone is kind enough to offer me something to wear to keep warm....I'd be thankful!!!!! The nerve of some people.....I am starting to realize that my response of posts of the day is "people never cease to amaze me"
 
No, I want the sweatshirt....now. <stomp><pout><stomp>

Was her name Veruca Salt?

You were much more kind than I would have been.

Now! Now! We can't all have the sweatshirt. We're going to have to take turns. Who wants it first?? :p


The amazing thing is, she's got to be in her mid to late 40s, so it's not like she's some spoiled little 20-bopper. This is not to say all people in their 20s are spoiled.... it's just that typically at 40 or so, you out grow any "the world revolves around me" residue you've been carrying around since toddlerdom.
