Better Left Unsaid


Thought you would find this amusing.
Yesterday, on my way home from work, I stopped at the shop and DVD store to stock up for a much-anticipated night of lounging. I made a selection of comedies and waited patiently for the new guy working there to help me.

He sifted through the movies silently until he got to “Friends With Benefits” which made him pause and glance up at me with a seedy grin. “This…. Is a very nice movie, neh? Very, very nice… You watch it with your husband….”
After a few moments I realised he was waiting for me to say something, so I just nodded politely.
He was somewhat less than deterred.


“You do…. HAVE a husband, no?” This last comment accompanied by what can only be described as a greasy smile as his eyes travelled slowly downwards away from my face and back again.
I said no….................. *mistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!!*

His face immediately morphed into an expression of pure concern….. “IS NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU ALREADY????”
Oh my fucking God. That was it, right there. A low point. When a man who works in a movie store in his thirties, with hair so dirty it looked wet, was convinced that I was past MY expiration date for marriage.

Needless to say, I bought extra chocolate on my way out.
Now.... stop laughing and carry on about your day, you bitches!!
