Holy Cow did I ever get hit on this weekend...

[Pierre.Suave]

this was also the weekend my Fiance went back to school my Fiance and not my GF...;)

Anyway, the fiance and I have been looking for new bedroom furniture for some time and found one we liked, so this weekend after she left I went to the store to talk to the sales girl about it, to see if I could get a sample of the color of the headboard fabric, and to see if we could special order a different one if we did not like the one that came standard. During the course of the conversation she asked what colors I was thinking. I mentioned white and taupe.

This is how the conversation went from there:

her: you don't want white, it would get really dirty, really easily.

me: How in the hell would the headboard get dirty?

her: well, you never know you might meet some girl, things go well, you take her back to your place, the two of you get in bed, she might have make up on and she might stay the night...

:wow: that was my face...She was looking right at me when she said this and I am convinced beyond any doubt that SHE wanted to be the girl dirtying my headboard... (that even sounds dirty, lol)

the only response I could muster was, Wow, you have imagined quite the social life for me...


Was she hitting on me? Did she want to get my headboard dirty?

Should I even go back and order the bed?

[IndianaJones]

1. do they work on commission? nt.

[Pierre.Suave]

2. I have no idea

What kind of work do you think she was considering?

lol

[IndianaJones]

4. she could have been closing the deal....or "closing the deal" nt.

[Pierre.Suave]

5. I know what she was up to...

she just wanted to make sure I was a "satisfied customer"

:P

[Phentex]

3. Oh, just wait til you put the ring on!

You'll see.

[Pierre.Suave]

7. OH NOES!!!!!!1

Why did the hotties wait till now to hit on me like this...

I could have used some of this in college.

[Phentex]

21. LMAO!

:)

Belated congrats by the way.

[Pierre.Suave]

24. Thanks

I am excited about it for sure.

[Bake]

90. Sadly, it always seems to work this way.

They somehow KNOW when you're "off the market." They do it just to torment you.

[MrCoffee]

6. do NOT, under any circumstances, tell your fiance that story

don't do it. no matter how drunk you get, no matter how funny you think it is, DO NOT tell her that story.


no good will come of it.

[Pierre.Suave]

9. Yeah

I have that question going on in my head right now, should I tell her this or not?

[MrCoffee]

10. not just no, but HELL NO

she will NOT think it's funny. carry this to your grave, man.

[IndianaJones]

11. no secrets in relationships. nt.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Thats what I was thinking too

[tigereye]

91. if it were me, I would laugh hysterically

I think it's very funny.


Guess it depends on how easily amused she is!

[Rambis]

8. Wow

fair play to you-
I have never had a serious relationship with someone who wore makeup. Not that there is anything wrong with that. My wife of 20 years has never worn it. We also have a wooden headboard so it would never be a problem. Go back and purchase a wooden headboard:)

[Pierre.Suave]

12. That may be a good idea

cause who wants a dirty headboard?

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. That's why my headboard, sheets, pillows, and comforters are the color of blood.

:7





I swear, women must know, somehow, that a man is taken - I rarely got hit on until I got engaged, and then it started coming from all over the place, even when I wasn't wearing my engagement ring.

And I keep thinking, "Dammit - where were you women when I was single? What the fuck?! You wouldn't give me the time of day, and now you're crossing the room to come over to me and not only tell me the time when I don't ask, but to also call whatever the time is "fucking time"."

[Pierre.Suave]

16. "Dammit - where were you people when I was single? What the fuck?!"

EXACTLY!

edit: wet blood or dried blood? inquiring minds want to know...:P

[raccoon]

71. Perhaps you and Rabrrrrrr come across differently once you're "taken."

More confident, maybe.

[Midlodemocrat]

42. LOL. My husband gets hit on all the time whether he is or isn't wearing

his ring. Started when we got back from our honeymoon and continues to this day.

If the ladies only knew how boring he actually is. :rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

44. HAHAHA

well then, I guess you are never worried about him not coming back home then...

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

15. what furniture store was this

and what was the salesperson's name?

just curious.

[Pierre.Suave]

18. LOL

are you in Minneapolis?

[unpossibles]

36. no, but I could be in a few hours

what?

[Pierre.Suave]

39. haha

[qb]

17. She anticipates her face bumping into the headboard?

Man, she likes it rough.

[Pierre.Suave]

19. Yeah

thats what I was thinking.

Now I have been around that particular block a few times, and I would find it difficult to figure out how that would work out...

I mean, I can imagine how it would happen, but DAMN.

[DS1]

20. and one time there was this stripper that really liked me, for sure

genuine, and shit. no, really

;-)

[IndianaJones]

22. did she work on commission? nt.

[DS1]

26. probably, her tips were on display at any rate

[Pierre.Suave]

28. Ah it was one of THOSE places...

I actually have no idea what that means, but thought it sounded like the right thing to say...:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

23. until you ran out of money...

:P

[DS1]

25. nah

I was a tightwad, opposite approach, same result ;-)

[SammyWinstonJack]

68. ...

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

27. "Howsabout you and I take a test run with the floor model?"

With one simple line you'd have known for sure.

Not that you'd have followed through. Just sayin'.

[Pierre.Suave]

31. So my choices are

Walk away wondering...

turn down sex...

or go to jail...

Hmmmm, I wonder which one I would take?

[flvegan]

35. Why jail?

[Pierre.Suave]

38. well, it just seems like a possible outcome

to asking the sales girl if she wants to get her face rammed into the headboard of the floor model repeatedly..., at least if she said no...

Or the public lewdness charges...

Many possibilities.

[rug]

29. If you didn't ask for hooks on the headboard this would not have happened.

[Pierre.Suave]

33. hey you

stay out of my head...:P

I need a place to attach the handcuffs, thats all...

[av8rdave]

30. Wow....you need to copy and paste this here

This would be a great addition to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7321379

She was definitely hitting on you....in one of the tackier yet more creative ways I've heard in a long time!

If I didn't say so before, congratulations on your engagement. Did you find it strange at first going from the "girlfriend" to the "fiance" reference? It took me a little while to get used to.

[Pierre.Suave]

32. I should add it there, thanks for the link.

Yeah, I was floored, I have NEVER had a girl be THAT forward ever before.

And thanks for the congratulations, yes it is very weird.

[gmoney]

34. I'd ask your girlfriend...

"his was also the weekend my Fiance went back to school my Fiance and not my GF..."

If your fiancee is out of town, maybe check with your girlfriend to see what she thinks. Should be easy with the fiancee out of town... then go back and talk to the saleswoman.

Some guys have all the luck.

[Pierre.Suave]

37. I can guarantee

that wont be happening.

edit: damnit, I just got that... I am a bit slow today.

[XemaSab]

40. But seriesly, don't do white

It'll get dirty, easily.

After about a year of leaning on it with dirty hair, you will be like "dammit, why did I pick the white?" x(

And yeah, that's quite the exchange there. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

41. I was thinking taupe cuz...

it would be harder to spot the makeup...:P

[MissMillie]

43. you should be so lucky

.

[Pierre.Suave]

45. geez

it was a joke, get over it.

[MissMillie]

46. "I'm sorry" works wonders for that

you should try it some time.

[Pierre.Suave]

47. OK...

then I am sorry that my joke upset you so much.

[MissMillie]

49. I guess that's close enough

but it sounds more like you're apologizing for my reaction rather than for what you said.

"I'm sorry I said something so insensitive. Though it was meant as a joke, I underestimate the effect it would have."

[SammyWinstonJack]

70. ...

:spray:

[Pierre.Suave]

80. Were you hoping for more?

I am purposely not going to continue this drama, so there will be nothing to see here.

[AlCzervik]

48. She's right about white being a bad choice imo.

her reasons as to why---well maybe she's using her past experience or someone else's but she is right. Also i'd go with ulra suede for a material, it cleans up really well.

[Pierre.Suave]

50. Yeah, I know

the more I think about it, the more I see white as not a good option.

[AlCzervik]

53. whenever i have to pick new stuff for my house i always ask "Does that come in dirt color?"

i need new carpeting for my house, dirt color is what i'm looking for and in my laundry room the sheet vinyl is lint colored.

[Pierre.Suave]

54. Really?

Thats a bit depressing.

[AlCzervik]

56. not at all, my house has high ceilings and lots of windows and mostly hardwood

floors that are light in color. Carpet is dirt colored because thats what it would end up being anyhow. When i moved here my daughter was 6 and she was quite the spiller.

[Pierre.Suave]

57. ok, now I dont feel so bad.

:P

[AlCzervik]

60. after 16 years of marriage,1 messy kid and 3 different houses

and selling houses for 3 years i learned real quick what colors are more forgiving.

[Pierre.Suave]

61. I see

what if I have no kids, and only me and the neat freak living there?

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

then paint it all white and have all glass tables.

[Pierre.Suave]

63. NOOOO

I want walls in colors other than white...

[redqueen]

51. She works on commission.

She's selling.

[Pierre.Suave]

52. Selling what?

lol

[redqueen]

55. Headboards. (nt)

[Pierre.Suave]

58. Damn, if thats true

what will she say when I ask about mattresses?

:rofl:

[redqueen]

59. Much the same, I'd expect.

She apparently considers it an effective tactic.

[Pierre.Suave]

62. I think...

she was just hitting on me...:P

[redqueen]

65. That's the intended effect, yes. (nt)

[Pierre.Suave]

67. buzzkill...

:P

[redqueen]

73. Yeah, I get that a lot.

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

76. lol

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

75. She'll put a bag over her head

And you'll have to stand in the tea chest and sing "Jerusalem."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGEeLtqtNvU

[Fox Mulder]

64. Damn...

I wish some women would be that straightforward with me.

[JVS]

66. You are not married yet!

[Fire Walk With Me]

69. I know this girl and it turns out that she's an expert about getting headboards dirty with makeup.

[Pierre.Suave]

84. Do you know this girl?

[Fire Walk With Me]

86. Ack- bad English. I meant that "this is the girl you were referring to".

I won't be quitting my day job for a career in humor. Wait, I don't HAVE a day job!

[Pierre.Suave]

87. NO, thats not her

this girl in particular was a very attractive blond white girl.

and damn did she have a body...and those legs... DAMN!

[no name no slogan]

72. Where were you shopping at?

We're in the same area and I could use some... ah, never mind.

[Pierre.Suave]

85. LOL

[Wetzelbill]

74. hell you can send me to go buy it for you

:)

Oh yeah, she wanted to see your Linus and Charlie Browns, that's for sure. You might want to bring the fiance along on the next trip, otherwise trouble could be afoot.

[Pierre.Suave]

77. Yeah, no kidding

it is even harder too cause this girl is FINE!

[Wetzelbill]

78. oh no

Why does trouble have to be so hot? haha.

So do you have both a fiance' and a girlfriend? I wasn't sure how to interpret that sentence.

[Pierre.Suave]

79. NO, I only have a fiance...

She was my GF when she came home for xmas, and went back to school my Fiance.

That is all.

[BarenakedLady]

81. Holy Cow did I ever NOT get hit on this weekend...

I even went out twice to a bar and a dance club.

Nada...

Troll, I am.

Good on ya though. I hear married men get hit on all the time, so you have that to look forward to.

[Inchworm]

82. Yet another confirmation of the daftness of those northern types

Move south and bring a stick to beat off the crowds of suitors!

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

88. They all suck

And not in a good way.

[Pierre.Suave]

83. All that time and energy spent at the bar...

and all you needed to do was go furniture shopping...

LOL

[BarenakedLady]

89. I'll have to try that next time.

Though honestly, I'm really not looking.

[ContraBass Black]

92. For a partner, or for furniture?
