People are stupid…
Yesterday, a couple of guys enter the theatre and I go up to them asking them if they would like to buy a ticket.
They tell me they are just here to check out the theatre since their gym is right next door and they just moved to Calgary.
The one guy thought he was pretty hot stuff. His ego almost filled the lobby.
He looks at me and says, “Wow, so there must be a requirement that you have to be hot to work here huh?”
I just look at his friend and look back at him.
“That’s weak.” I told him.
“I try,” he says.
“You need to work on your pick up lines, cuz that’s horrible.”
He then goes on to explain to me that Calgary is crawling with gorgeous women and that his neck hurts at the end of the day from looking at all the beautiful women everywhere.
He starts to strike up a conversation and I unfortunately need to entertain him and his retarded banter. Eventually the conversation leads to this:
Guy who thought he was pretty hot says to me: So I had to run all the way from Okotoks to downtown Calgary. It took me forever!
Me: You ran? It takes like 45 min to DRIVE… and you ran? Why?
Guy: Cuz I didn’t have a car.
Me: So why didn’t you call a taxi?
Guy: My cell phone battery died.
Me: So why didn’t you stop at the 24 hr. gas stations in town. There are 2 on the main drag as you head out of town and just use their pay phone to call a cab?
Guy: Cuz I only had $5
I was shocked and raised my eye brows. I just looked at him and shook my head.
Me: Wow…. you really have a lot of brawn, but not a lot is rattling up there huh?
He just stares at me and blinks, so I don’t think he got it.
His friend was howling with laughter.
Me: You know you could have gotten the gas attendant to give you change for your $5, then you could have used the pay phone at the gas station to call a cab.
He then stammers on and tries to explain himself, but just ends up sounding even more stupid.
I was really shocked at the stupidness this guy exhibited. I have never run into anyone that was that clueless before.
