straight out of the cave …
I am not sure why such things really get to me…especially coming from demented, closed minded, ignorant, sick individuals…I know and I fully understand they shouldn’t, but some how they manage to piss me off! I had this unfortunate encounter with someone who, apparently, had escaped the cave he’s been stashed in for the past 30 years of his pathetic life…it went something along the lines of:
He It: Hi, how are you?
Me: Good, and you?
He It: I’m fine. So do you live in the area?
Me: Yeah, actually not too far from here at all.
It: We’re neighbors…
Me: I guess we are!
It: What do you do for a living? How old are you?
Me: Project manager. and I’m 28. you?
It: I own a business…I do have a degree. 30, I was born in Palestine though..
Me: I see. That explains your heavy accent
It: What do you mean? I speak good English. I write well too…
Me: Yeah you speak relatively well, but with a heavy accent. Good that you write well. I get a bit critical of someone’s writing. It’s almost as though I’m grading one of my student’s papers.
It: (obviously not understanding the humor in my tone!) You think I’m getting married for papers? I have my papers already and I don’t need to marry for papers.
Me: Excuse me?
It: I wouldn’t even marry you anyway..you’re too old and still single…if you were a good person with good manners you wouldn’t be single till now.
Me: really? papers? it seems you have a comprehension problem.
It: you said something about papers. I’m not after papers. and like I said, you’re too old. and still single. you’re not married till now because you’re not good.
Me: I’m not married till now because a lot of what’s out there are idiots like you!

Am I a jerk/idiot/messed up/screwed up/demented/low life/pathetic/crap/loser magnet?! life is not as interesting without a few bizarre, completely outrageous things happening every now and then, I guess! But seriously, someone should put him back in that cave!
Edited: This was a random encounter with a random person creature I came across in a relatively laid back setting that had nothing to do with marriage per se!
