never walk the streets of davis alone, especially around gottchalks

Apr 10, 2007 00:26

I have a shitload of journal stubs that I haven't finished or posted, but I just HAD to make a post about this one.

Okay, so on Friday, I went over to Gottchalks, which is like a small scale, cheap Macy's, to buy green tights for Ali's Peter Pan costume and white tights for my White Rabbit costume for a party. It must have been a combination of the fact that I was by myself and that I was wearing a short skirt, but while I'm wandering around in the store, this older guy approaches me. Older guy meaning probably in his 30s or 40s. Looked either Flip or Mexican.

Guy: Excuse me?
Me: Hmm? *turns around*
Guy: I couldn't help but notice you from over there, and I wanted to tell you I really like how you look.
Me: I, er, uhm
Guy: We could maybe spend some time together?
Me: Err, I don't think so, sorry, haha!
Guy: Just a little bit of time...
Me: Err, sorry, I, er, I'm a little young. Sorry. *looking around... backing away*
Guy: My name is ___, here's my business card *hands it over*
Me: Oh... er... *looking at it. It says: house repair service*
Guy: I work for this company, it's really big... if you ever need help, just call. Or if you just want to spend some time with me, you can call...
Me: Oh er, I, er, don't think I'll be needing this. I'm just here to buy some stuff. I'm going to leave now. To... the cashier.
Guy: Actually, I work here too. Yes, I work here too.
Me: Er. No. No thank you.
Guy: I really like you, do you have any time? Like right now?
Me: I, er, no. No. No. No.
Guy: We can just be friends. Just spend some time together...
Me: I... ER, UM, BYE. *walking really quickly to the cashier*

After I was in clear sight of other people, the guy completely disappeared. I basically ran home afer that. Anyhoo, I'm almost forgot about what happened the next day, until I was cleaning my purse and I found the card again. Thinking it would be amusing, I gave the card to my suitemate Andrea, who says, "HEY, I'M GOING TO CRANK CALL THIS GUY, OKAY?"

Heh, this would be so much more awesome to tell in person (since Andrea's occasional Southern twang and the dude's Mexican accent make it funnier), but you'll just have to deal with this text version. It's pretty funny no matter how you spin it anyway.

A: Hi, is this Hooay-vay?
Guy: Who? This is Hoo-Vee.
A: WHATEVER, this is the girl from Gottchalks.
Guy: Gott?....
A: You know, the girl you thought looked nice.
Guy: OOhHhH yeeEEah, I remember. How are you?
A: I'm good, thanks. How are you?
Guy: Yes, I'm very good. I can't believe you called back!
A: Well, you see, I have a problem. You see, I need you to fill my hole. .... in my wall.
Guy: Oh yeah, I can do that.
A: Oh you can, can you? Can you do it well?
Guy: Oh yes, I can. I can fix your wall.
A: Oh yeah, I need you to fill up my hole really well.

Guy: So when should I come over? When would be a good time? Monday?
A: *hangs up*

She couldn't hold back from laughing so she hung up, but then we got some new inspiration and she called back.

A: Hi, this is the girl from Gottchalks.
Guy: Oh, I was so worried you hung up.
A: Oh no, of course not!
Guy: I am just so surprised that such a beautiful girl is calling me... I am so blessed.
A: Well, god loves you.
Guy: Yes, He does. I'm so blessed.
A: Anyways, so about my wall... do you think you can fix it?
Guy: Yes, I can fix it.
A: Can you fill the hole?
Guy: Yes, I can fix it.
A: But can you fill the hole?
Guy: Yes, I can fill your hole.
A: It's a pretty big hole. I really hope you can. Fill it, that is.
Guy: Yes.
[... more]
A: I'm really excited. Very excited. Aren't you excited?
Guy: Yes. I'm very excited too. I can't wait to see you, I mean, your wall. So how will I find you tomorrow, Monday? Where do you live?
A: *hangs up*

LOL.

Oh, and also, my internet has been cut off from my laptop, again. And now I have to go talk to the school judicial committee advisor before it can be turned back on. Because I've been bringing viruses into the school network system with my virus-riddled computer. Again. hA...hahHAHAhaHAHAHAHHA
