And people say places like the local public library are boring. There I am, browsing the DVD shelf; the elderly librarian is busy sorting returned items; and the second member of staff, a young, not entirely unpretty girl, is tapping away on her computer.
Cue middle-aged creepy guy, messed up hair, tracky dacks, the full program. He starts playing around with the catalog terminal, then directs his attention to the service desk:
Creepy guy: Hi
Hot library chick: Hi how are you? (she seems to know him)
Creepy guy: Good thanks. How have you been?
Hot library chick: Alright, thanks, it's been a quiet day.
Creepy guy: What do you do once you're finished here?
Hot library chick: Oh just spending time with hubby and the kids
Creepy guy: Ahh … sounds … nice
(pause)
Creepy guy: I … was going to ask you out. A movie or something like that.
Hot library chick: Ohh … right … sorry
Creepy guy (wanders off)
Older librarian lady gives Hot library chick the what was that all about? look
Hot library chick: WHAT? One day I will have a husbands and kids...
Nice one, baby. I must admit I find her just a little bit hotter now, after learning that she's a quick thinker. Perhaps I should have a go myself, just to find out what she'd come up with to shoot me down ...
