The old used "do you have the time?"

[Bender]

I tell them its daytime or nightime depending on whatever it is, that really pisses them off

i was at the metro waiting all pissed off and tired from my day at work. this random guy thats looks like a i-am-a-loser-that-doesnt-have-a-life walks towards me. when i saw him i knew immediately that he was going to talk to me or ask me something. so there he goes, he asks me what the time is. i tell him the time, he goes "WOWWWW i didn't know it was this late, btw what's your name?". i give him a "who the fuck do you think you are to bother me and i'm listening to my music" look and told him "how interesting". then he's like wtf and tells me he's sorry and walks away.

anyways all of this to say, do you guys still use this to start talking to people? i find it so annoying and lacking of originality. first you drag your loser-ish ass to come talk to me and secondly you try to start up conversation with the "do you have time" question. ain't got anything better? you know.

i suggest you trying to look at the situation from his point of view and by that i don't mean, pretend that you are walking up to a guy and doing the same thing. i mean, try putting yourself into this kid's life based on what you know about him, which clearly isn't much. however, just based on the information you give in the story, i'm assuming this kid who looks like a "loser" and has that "doesn't have a life" look about him has very little confidence and very low self-esteem. the fact that someone in his position has the fucking balls to walk up to you (and i don't know anything about you but i'll assume you don't consider yourself in the same league as him) and say something to you, whether it sounds gay or not, is pretty amazing. congratulations for stomping out the tiny bit of self-esteem he might have had left. i mean, you don't know who the fuck he is anyway, so why should you give a fuck, right?

oh yeah and sorry if that came off harsh, but since you took the time to post this thread, i assume that you want to hear honest responses. i could just say, "oh wow, dude sounds like a freak" and leave it at that. but that wouldn't be honest.

I have to agree with PurelyPac on this one. How would you feel if by some terrible turn of fate you were that loserish lookin kid with weak pick up lines (lines that you may have thought were clever at the time). You probably stole the last bit of self esteem this poor fella had left. Given that you believe that you are in a different league than this guy, (i'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're good looking),as an intelligent*, good looking person, you could have let him down easy and gave him tips for the next time (so as to avoid him using the weak lines again). Now you have basically sent this guy out even less confident than he was before to prey upon his next victim, with the same or weaker material. Shame on you! Peace

^^Yea i agree

carmi, you come across as being very up in yourself and a little immature.This guy was just making an effort to start a conversation with you while ye were waiting. Its just downright ignorance on your part. Obviously i don't know you but one thing is for sure, i hate snobby, stuck up women, who think they are great.

I 100% agree with this post, as well as 2 posts before this. I think nobody is better than anybody else unless he does something to deserve it. Your last statement is great :thumb: I hate women being like that too. But world is going crazy and there are more and more of them.

on the other hand funny how everobody instantly made good-wise-guy posts after PurelyPac's statements 3 posts in a row after xx posts mentioning nothing bad just talking about pickup lines. Actually mine post was among them

ok, I'm just saying it looks a bit funny. Looks like everybody changed their minds, made reflections after one post.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Yea lol, but i read their posts first and then read carmi's.

Same here in Poland :thumb:

Sometimes they also ask for cigarettes or lighter.

Yeah, they also use that sometimes. The "What time is it" is more common as most people no longer wear watches, every one uses their phone to keep track of time as its pretty much pointless wearing a watch when you have a clock in your pocket.

i'd like to respond to both posts by saying i do not think i'm great, i do not think i'm awesome, i am not a snobby stuck up woman. i was never brought up like that. i always had low self esteem, always will. i wanted honest responses, i got them. thanks.

my point was that why someone would try to approach somebody's who looks pissed off and tired. i honestly was pissed off, tired and hungry and i can't understand how someone would approach somebody like that cause you think that someone's would know that approaching that pissed off somebody would result in nothing. i really had this "don't approach i'm in a damn bad mood" face and yet someone tried to approach me. i can't understand that. i wouldn't even have approached myself.

Yea lol, but i read their posts first and then read carmi's.

mean :fury:

Well, i guess i can see where your coming. tbh, i dont really like people approaching me on the street asking me random questions about god or asking me to do a survey. To me though, this guy was just trying to be friendly and i think your attitude towards him kind of sucked. Even if i was pissed off after work and someone i dont know tried making conversation with me in the shop or something, i would still make an effort to talk to them and be friendly. I wouldn't just dismiss them as being a loser.

And yea, i obviously dont know if you are stuck up and snobby. I am just basing my opinion on this incident.

ok fair enough.

But keep in mind that a lot of girls look a lot more attractive when they're mad. You're "pissed off" look might have been the very thing that lured this guy in
