I have never used a pick up line in my life. But just the other night, I was standing in line at the local taco shop, conversing with the cashier about the nice weather we were having, and some dude sitting at a table behind me, told me I would be a good candidate for massage therapy when I was putting salsa into those little plastic containers. REALLY!? How did he come to that conclusion?
A week before that, another dude was in line at the grocery store buying 3 cases of soda pop. The clerk told him that he would have to bluy 4 cases to get the sale price. I commented that he could get a bottle of wine instead and his wife would probably appreciate that more than the soda. He then looked over at me (while still standing in line at the cashier) and said, “Heh heh, your cute! Are you married?” I’ve talked to a million people in line and said friendly things to them about their cart contents or potential recipes, but I’ve never had anyone try to pick me up by simply saying, casually, that he might enjoy wine more than another 12 pack of soda. By the way, my hair was greasy after having not been washed for 2 days and pulled up into a scrunchy. I was not wearing any make up and a pair of sweats and flip flops. When I told him that I was married, he got pissy and said, “Then why did you tell me to buy wine if you weren’t single?” BECAUSE WINE WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER THAN ANOTHER 12 PACK OF MOUNTAIN DEW, DUDE!
