The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 54

remember, I could easily be most of your mothers...

Haha, Mama Fredi. You must be an amazing mom. I'd love my mom to have all these tips and bits of advice!

Tiff, there's worse? O no...

~Steven

So I look up and return his insincere smile with a, "Sorry, I only brought 2 $20s with me. *shrug* Dishwashing, maybe?" (thinking I'll make light of this) Then he goes, "Well, you just got that upgrade on your MasterCard, right? Can't you just use that?" (which, ladies and gents, is the biggest problem with dating friends because you tell them things you normally wouldn't tell people...FUHCK)

And I'm like, there's no way out of this.

And keep in mind, I'm not a cheap person at all. My friends and I buy each other coffee, dinner, whateva. Not a biggie. But it's the principle of it, ya know? You just wanna knowthere's gonna be some reciprocity.

So I kid, "Sure, I'll pay the rest of your tab. You can treat me for lunch or something later to make up for it. heh. heh." (yes, I know I never wanna see him again ever, but again, it's the PRINCIPLE of what he did)

And he goes, "Well, actually, it's the least you could do since I was the one stuck doing all the driving and everything."

---

He actually said that?! O gosh.

~Steven

OMG. This is insane! That motherF*CKer. I've never known a guy who was THAT inconsiderate and rude. Wow. I'm engrossed in your story though. But now I really wanna hear about The Date From Hell With The Cheap Paraplegic as well.

Well, in RETROSPECT I should have, but I was like, I don't want to create a scene (I already created a scene at the restaurant once with The Paraplegic Date From Hell) and I wanna go home. So as my credit card's being processed, I excuse myself to go to hte bathroom and call up a couple of friends. Because face it, that's what girls do.



Oh, and the nasty thing is he still had dried bits of BBQ sauce stuck on his mouth. Keep this in mind.

---

Haha, o gosh, BBQ sauce? Well, you're a real trooper.

~Steven

totally shocked into silence.. I'm so sorry!

---

Believe it folks. I wish I was making it up. (Though it would be hard.) It would ease this pounding headache at having to face him later. *breath* *breath*

So we're driving in his car. I'm tallying allthe horrible things he's done tonight, with the "chubby" comment and the "Asians" comments in the forefront. (At this point, I didn't even care about the money problem. Esp. obnoxious is he makes more than me. But okay.)

So we're outside my driveway and he says he had a good time. I say, "Well! See you at school!" and he leans in for a kiss. I turn my head away. BBQ sauce. Ech. And it hits my cheek. Which was still gross.

Sorry, that's the anticlimatic end. But really, I'm a germ phobe and BBQ sauce just doesn't do it for me.

---

Ew, I'm sorry, I even cringed when I read that!

~Steven

So he is completely oblivious on top of being an ass.. He had a good time?? Of course he did, he got to say and do what he wanted and wound up getting more than the orginal $30 for gas that he was trying for!

---

Wow. Migraine. And my neck is stiff from the tension.

So umm...yeah. How's everyone's night been? I haven't had a chance to read through the other pages. I just had to get this off my chest. I think the "You're cute but you're kinda chubby." comment goes up there with the, "I really, really like you. And I mean, I don't tend to go for girls who are really good looking. I like the ones whose inner beauty shines through." and the two worst backhanded compliments I've ever received.

---

I agree those are backhanded compliments. That's horrible and I'm sorry that you had such a rough night.

I wish there was something we could do to make it better..
