Ummmm…. NO!
So I was working the box office the other day and some guy comes in with his friend.
He looks at me and keeps staring. Doesn’t look away. When it’s his turn he walks up and say, “Hi! It’s my birthday today.”
“Happy Birthday! Ohh, coming to see a movie for your birthday, how fun! What a great gift. What are you seeing tonite?” I reply enthusiastically.
“Actually, I’d like you as my birthday gift. You’d make a great birthday gift. Can you be my birthday gift?” He then turns to his friend and says, “I’d like her as my gift! I’d like to unwrap her!”
My eyebrows shoot up and I look at his friend, “So what movie are you taking him to?” I ask now ignoring the birthday boy who is staring and smiling at me. His friend tells me what they are seeing. As I print up the tickets birthday boy now continues with the banter, “Can you please come and watch this movie with me? It would make my day. You’d be a great gift for me….” He keeps rambling on, but I’ve tuned him out and have fully ignored him now.
“Looks like your friend has been hitting the sauce for his birthday huh?” I say with a smile as I hand the tickets to the friend. I then turn and walk out of the box office since there was no one else in line and head towards the office.
Birthday boy shouts after me, “Please? Be my gift? Come on it’s my birthday.” His friend is pulling him toward the theatre. He keeps talking, but I’m far enough away that I don’t hear any other stupidity that is coming out of his mouth.
He must have been drunk. I make a mental note of what theatre they are in and make sure I’m not around to say goodbye to people when that theatre gets out so I can avoid birthday boy.
Seriously though… WTH? Who does that?
