Asshole of the Day 3/15/11

Source: IRL
Method of Communication: Handwritten note
Type(s) of Fail: Hitting on me in the damn grocery store, derr.
Result: I did not call him.

What you may need to know: I've blogged about this before.

Long story short: I was in the grocery store. Kinda looking like shit. I was minding my business and shopping with my mom.

I went to the checkout. Some dude dressed in the store's uniform leaned over another customer behind me in the checkout and got my attention, saying, "YOU DROPPED THIS."

Reflexively, I took the paper he was holding. Before I could see what it was, he said, "Don't mention it to anyone, okay, because I could get in trouble." And away he went.

The paper, of course, was this:



Beyond the obvious three-way assholeness of 1. Using a deceptive attention-getting tactic ("you dropped this") to make me take his number; 2. Knowing full well that what he was doing was inappropriate to the point that he told me not to get him in trouble; and 3. HE HIT ON ME IN THE DAMN GROCERY STORE WHEN I WAS MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, perhaps you'd like a little more explanation of why I think this is asshole behavior.

Back when it happened, I used it as a talking point in Letters to an Asexual #8.

And I also discussed it in depth in this LiveJournal entry.

That is all.
