I Think Some Men Have Really Bad Pick Up Lines

Wrong Language, Buddy

By: yoyy
Written on November 30th, 2008

I was in the Union Station bookstore killing some time before going home after work one day.  This guy looking at some books next to me, out of the blue, says, "So uhh..do you work around here?" and I say I just got off work and I'm looking at books before going home.  He asks me what I do, and I say I work for a nonprofit. He then says he works for the Dept. of Health and Human Services. 

Then the bad pick up line comes in:

Guy:  "So uhh..what nationality are you?"
Me:  "I'm Filipino"
Guy:  "Oh really?  Uhm....you are 'muy bonita'"
Me:  "....That's Spanish."
Guy (clearly embarrassed):  "Oh, it is, isn't it.."

And then I just leave.

    Me: "So uhh..what nationality are you?"

    You: "I'm Filipino"

    Me: "Oh really? Wanna eat brussel sprouts and drink beet juice all day?"

    You: "....That's Crazy."

    Me (clearly embarrassed): "Oh, it is, isn't it.."



    And then she just leave.



    Me: "Was it my breath?" *smells*

    it could have been worse and been someone like my hubby. His best pick up line is "nice **** can I touch them". yes, he really uses it.
