Some of the best of the worst bad conversations you've had? Whether they're really bad, you learned something, it's funny, embarrassing, or was a waste of time, feel free to share. I'm curious. Because I think I had a very bad one today (|| _ _) --- Earlier, I was driving to the store to pick up some bread. Exciting. I get there with no hassle. I put on my mother f_cking mask. Easy. I walk in. I go to the bread aisle. Alas, no bread. (literally...no bread. Not even the yucky kind). Gathering up my courage for social interaction, I go to find someone who's working at the store. Alas, I find no one. Oy vey. I turn and find the nearest human to ask for help. They look scary, so I go to find another. I find a nice old lady. She says to go away. She was not a nice old lady. I find a rather young man. He was nicer than the lady but said he wasn't sure. I say thanks and as I'm about to walk away, he says, "Wait," and grabs my shoulder, then says "bro." to make a valid understanding that No-Homo was involved with the contact. He continues and says, "Were you in the right aisle?" I look at him skeptically and respond. "Yes, I was in the right aisle. The bread aisle. The only aisle with the large sign with the bright yellow words declaring 'Bread aisle' on it. Why?" He gives me a look. We both give each other looks. He says hesitantly, "No, were you on the right side?" I say, "I don't know if I was on the left or right side-" only to realize I'm a dumbass. He did not literally mean the right side of an aisle, but the correct side. The side with the bread on it. It was too late. He noticed I'm a dumbass. I could see the realization forming in his sharp, judgmental, green eyes. And so, I was escorted to the correct side of the bread aisle by a sassy 16-year-old, who will speak of his encounter with a stupid, blonde, lamp-post who doesn't know how to navigate a god damn store, to his sassy, judgmental friends.
Walking into the wrong line, standing with your head held 'High'! Only to get told off by some stranger, ''That this line is for MEN!!!''
Barely... I'm just scared he's going to add it to his list of funny stories to share, and then I'm going to be talked about behind my back. I'm an idiot. he was very handsome though ngl...
Spoiler: Trigger warning A friend of mine told me once that she met a child who was crying in front of one of those old looking church as she was waiting for her mom randomly so she tried to talk to the child and the child said "I don't want to play horsey with dad anymore it hurts when he rides me" ok not gonna lie our conversation got dark after that but the realization of what the child said got our mood really down when what she meant sinked in. My friend didn't know what the child meant at that time till she never saw the child again and grew up to understand what that stranger was crying about. So yes this conversation was mostly bad rather than weird. Do tell me if you want this one text deleted or if it's too much.
A bad conversation I had (with a stranger) was a few years ago. I was at this city really far away from where I lived, and this girl comes up to me and asks me if I would like to attend her school dance. I refused her request, and she moved onto another person. It was awkward because she didn't realize I wasn't a local.
I don't know if this counts as a conversation, it was chatting on messenger. So, I was the examinee of a national exam last year and when the result came out, everyone was asking each other if anyone got a scholarship. When the results came out, I was sleeping, my sis woke me up and told me about some of my friends who's name was on the list, I went back to sleep after that and was too sleepy to remember who they were. One of my plastic friend was one of the top in my class and she with her whole family (especially her mom, you know, asian moms stuff) really wanted her to get a scholarship. I thought she must've gotten it and was too lazy to check the list. So I sent her a big and nice congratulation message after waking up. Then I started chatting with someone else who informed me that she didn't. I was panicking and went back to delete the message but the moment I entered the chat, she replied and it was automatically seen by me. So I couldn't pretend I was offline anymore. Then I apologized and comforted her for a good half an hour and lord knows it was torturous for me. She was acting like it's her fault that I didn't know about her result just to make me feel worse. I knew I was at fault but that kind of green tea bitchy behavior still made me wanna kill her. It was a horrible experience I never want to have again. The awkwardness was hellish!
Rarely, random girls approach me on the street, and my brain simply just freezes. What makes it weird is that every time they speak with me, they expect me to lead the conversation. Thing is I don't especially since they're a complete stranger, and it usually ends up with just awkward silence. It legit usually ends up being an eye staring contest. Then I'd simply just say bye and leave.
But now I'm curious, what are some reasons these random strangers, rarely women, approached you in the street? Perhaps...did you ever think they were murderers? *pat pat* At least she did not know, aye?
Ohh that's terrible. *writes it down immediately* Do you happen to know any cute hens you can introduce me to?
Once a tech guy I was on the phone with had to explain the difference between a computer and a monitor to me. He laughed at me, and I died a little inside. He sounded cute too...
I picked up an extra shift for a friend one time, and I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the weirdest conversations I’ve ever had there. So I was selling corn on the cob. I’m trying to get through the line as fast as I can so I don’t get any pissy customers who don’t know how to take turns come up and “kindly urge” me to hurry the fuck up. Anyways, I see a man and his two kids, and then another man standing a little closer than you would if they were strangers, but not close enough to look like they’re ordering together. So (in my fake-cheery customer service voice) I’m all like, “Hi there, are you two together?” meaning “Are you in the same group?” meaning “please be in the same group I have so many fucking people to get through” The first man said yes, as did the second man. Then, for whatever god forsaken reason, the second man had to pause, literally backtrack his feet to the cashier where I am, and then say, “Well, we’re not together together.” He then proceeded to tell me (in no less than 3 minutes) his entire sexual and nonsexual history with the first man, including but not limited to how “they only went that far once, but he wouldn’t object to doing it again” and a multitude of specific activities that I cannot and will not list here : ) Me: [unblinking owl eyes] Keep in mind I’ve got a 20 m line behind him and his friend/ past partner/ subject of desire (????) is standing there with his two kids. He definitely said everything despite knowing that’s not what I meant, and it’s funny looking back on it, but I was so uncomfortable at the time, like that was so much unnecessary information that I did not need or care about. Anyways I feel bad for the other guy he was with, he looked really embarrassed. Spoiler: Disclaimer, in case I get misconstrued If it wasn’t clear, I wasn’t uncomfortable because he was gay, I was uncomfortable because I didn’t know how to respond. I’m not straight myself, so the fruitiness is not the part that made me want to crawl in a hole the size of the Bermuda Triangle~
