A Day in the Life of a Redhead

The Scene: Last night at a work-related function. PLRH dutifully wears her name badge. Creepy Guy with Ponytail spots PLRH.

Creepy Guy: Hi Erica!

PLRH: Hello.

CG: I'm Pete.

PLRH: Nice to meet you, Pete.

CG: You have red hair.

PLRH: Yes, I do.

CG: I have a thing for red heads.

PLRH: (internally groans but maintains exterior composure) After the presentation there will be a Q&A and then the reception.

CG: I probably shouldn't ask... but what are you doing after the reception?

PLRH: Going home to my three guys.

CG: (blank stare)

PLRH: I'll let you figure that one out.

PLRH exits.

Yeeeeeew!!!! You could have also said: "You know what. I DON'T have a thing for creepy guys. By the way, your fly is undone. Goodbye." Gosh, it's too bad we have to be sooo polite at work functions, eh?

Well Played! Surface composure while being totally creeped out on the inside. Did the converasation in your head sound like this, "Whew! Yuck! Nasty, Smarmy man GO AWAY!" ?

One of the ladies in my work group, would recommend the "Black, Flashy thing" from the "Men in Black" movie to scrub that whole incident from her mind.

Weird, isn't it?
I've run across many guys who specifically were disappointed I had red hair; they didn't date redheads. But when a guy has a thing for them, they really have a thing...
Well played my friend.

HAHAHA...bet he was wondering who those THREE lucky guys were and wishing he was one of them!!! You were quite quick...I'd have probably thought of a good remark AFTER he finally disappeared.

I'm with Wendy. Well played. There are so many come backs that come to mind. You leaving him guessing like that is priceless. Men can be so stupid some times it just amazes me. Makes you want to go home a take a shower. EWWW Yucky!

Well done, for sure! What is *with* people sometimes?! Hopefully he's kicking himself still for being such an ass... but you know... I doubt it. hehe

Either way, you rock!
