I Like Brits, Okay?
LOL.
So, last night while I was working a closing shift, I was walking to the fitting room to cover the break of the lady posted there. Outside of the fitting room she walked up to me and told me to get in there quickly so I can talk to this handsome guy approaching to try on a shirt.
Meek and mild little girl that I am, I did as told--but she followed me, so that we both ended up advising the poor, naive chump NOT to wear a plaid dress shirt beneath a diamond-pattern sweater. (Doesn't everybody know instinctively that clashing patterns clash? Or am I just being a ruthless fashion snob?)
After he toddled off, I said, "He wasn't all that good-looking."
She insisted he was, and I said maybe, but he wasn't my type, even with those muscles.
"What is your type?" she asked.
"I like guys that don't sit around watching football all day," I said.
She threw up her hands. "There aren't any like that."
"I know! Not here."
"Oh, so you like foreign guys?" She looked amused. "What kind?"
"I like Brits. And guys that like books."
She laughed. "Oh, you like BORING guys!"
I made a face at her. "You're just saying that 'cuz you've never seen Lord of the Rings!"
Later on, the same apparently cute guy that had no idea how to dress himself came up to the registers while I and a couple other girls were there. And those girls went bananas over him.
After he'd left, what little restraint they had vanished, and they freaked out even more. You know, the usual teen girl stuff--"OMG, he is SO CUTE! I thought I was going to die! I need a boyfriend so bad. Did you SEE HIM?! OMG! OMG!" (It's so ironic to realize that, of all the "young" associates, I'm one of the oldest. And I'm still mild and shy enough to make people think I'm one of the younger ones!)
Listening to them, I snickered to myself. If some clueless dude had that effect on them, I'd love to see their reactions to someone far more attuned to how girls think, like Gackt or Hyde or Kamijo. (Once they got over their initial shock that said J-rockers were, indeed, guys, that is.)
LOL.
I'm starting to think I should make record more of the funny little things that happen at work. Stuff like this happens all the time.
