And now, on with the stories!

So I stopped at Starbucks this afternoon to grab a coffee before I went out apartment hunting. When I walked in there was a teenage guy in one of the big comfy chairs with his girlfriend sitting on his lap. They were reading the paper or something, whatever. The other customer in the store was a lady studying the available snacks quite intensely. I made sure she wasn't in the middle of ordering and then went ahead and paid for a coffee. I got handed my coffee and was turning to leave when the lady says (loudly) "Lovebirds!!"

"Okay", I think to myself, "one of them is her kid, she's getting their attention, who cares." They don't respond and she says (louder) "Lovebirds!! Can I buy you anything?" I don't hear a response and keep walking towards the door.

"I know there's something you want, lovebirds!" I've reached the door at this point, and as I'm in the process of opening it, my mental model of social interactions completely implodes on itself.

"Come on lovebirds, I have a teenage daughter, I know she'd want something!"

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THOSE KIDS. I went to my car and sat inside for a while, trying to come to terms with the idea that batshit insanity is only a Starbucks away.

    So my exgirlfriend is really loud in bed. I kicked my roomate out a couple of times, but I'm pretty sure a couple of times he went by our room and just left.

    But anyways, so she's going out with my neighbor now, which is interesting because he's a BDSM fetishist, but I've said that story before.

    So last week I'm trying to get to sleep early because of a lot of shit. But I start hearing kinda quiet gasps.

    Then ooohhhh

    And my roomate looks at me, and he says "Is that...is tha-" and I reply "yeah, that i-"

    And I'm cut off by a yell of "ohh my GODDD you feel soo fuckinn good in my ASS"

    Then my roomate and I stared at each other for a second and put our headphones on at full volume.

    I am taking Webmastering this year, it's sort of a blow off class considering I am a senior and I refuse to make an effort in anything I don't need for graduation. Anyways, we were given this huge group project where we were supposed to take a shoebrand (fictional one) and do an entire marketing campaign for it (basic website, logo, slogan and of course.. A posterboy to wear them.

    Right when we started the project I came down with a stomach bug and missed 3 classes, so I got back and was amazed to find out that my group had actually done the home page for the site, the slogan and well.. They picked a posterboy.

    Right after I signed in my absences and my missing work I was greeted with smiling O.J. Simpson wearing a pair of new sneakers along with the phrase "The shoe fits."

    So I had to go back in and make everything over again once the teacher realized what my partners had done.

    I'm a smart ass, and I get it from my mom's side of the family. In particular, I get it from my aunt, who also happens to be my godmother. As a result, I talk to her more often than pretty much anyone else outside my parents or siblings.

    She's retired now, but she used to teach science to middle school kids at a public school in Queens. She'd dealt with punk kids, so far as I understood, and she never really gave away her ground when they'd try to pull their shtick.

    Well, when I was 13 or 14 (I am 29, now), I thought it'd be a terribly clever idea to prank phone call her as a way to say hello. I'd deepen my voice slightly, say something funny, she'd get that it was me, so she'd play along for a minute or two until one of us ran out of ideas for responses.

    I pick up the phone, dial the number, she answers, "Hello?", and with as deep a voice I can muster, I announce, "Hello, this is the I.R.S."

    Her response came angry, loud, and quick: "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" and she slammed down the phone.

    I'd never heard my family swear before, at least, not like that. I'd heard my mom say it referring to work here or there, but I was the oldest child so the family usually guarded their language for the kids sake. It took me a minute to process what happened, and I thought I did something really bad if it elicited that response. Fortunately, my mom laughed it off and tried calling her back to explain what happened.

    My godmother didn't answer her phone for the next several hours, and didn't have a voicemail so we could at least tell her that way.

    She finally picked up and when we told her it was me, she was absolutely aghast; I still remind her of it every once in a while, just to tease her.

    Embarrassing for me: My wife and I live in Philadelphia, in an apartment building that's nice and in an area that's not very dangerous, but the city still has its reputation. At around 11 PM last night I'm back in the den, working on our computer, and she's in our room falling asleep when I hear two loud pops from the living room/kitchen region and the smoke alarm immediately goes off. I jump three feet off of my chair and run out, with the direst visions of molotov cocktails and shots fired running through my mind, to find the kitchen covered wall-to-wall in shattered egg remains from the hard boiled eggs I'd put on the stove and forgotten about. That's right, the pot had boiled dry and the eggs had superheated, burned, and exploded, so I'd panicked myself and woken my wife with the power of my forgetfulness. I spent my last waking hour scrubbing egg off of the ceiling. Good times.

    TL;DR: Don't forget about boiling eggs, they explode and smoke and sound like gunshots.

    I was actually just wondering about this thread the other day because I was telling an embarrassing story about myself.

    It has to do with how I found out about the PUA culture. Unlike most of you, I didn't read about it here or in something awful.

    I told a really ancient dirty joke to a table full of drunk girls in a bar. They all gave me incredibly dirty looks and got up and left.

    Now, I'm used to being shot down but not quite in this fashion. So I actually asked one of them, like, "hey what the fuck?"

    And she said something about pickup artists being lame too me

    and I was like, "Seriously, I have no idea what you are talking about."

    She's like, "you're one of those pickup artist guys"

    I'm like, "No, I don't think I am. I'm more of a pickup doodler"

    She's like, "you're funny"

    I'm like, "seriously I have no idea what you're talking about."

    She starts explaining it too me

    It turns out I was in the bar a scant 18 hours after the premier of this tv show

    It's a show with that [URL="The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed,"]Mystery[/URL] guy. For the uninitiated, he essentially teaches very expensive seminars on how to flirt, like a giant, creepy, raver version of Hitch.

    The girls were all roommates and had all watched the show together the night before and he used the same (probably 50 year old) joke in one of his "routines"

    so that was awkward.

    So... this isn't funny but it's pretty embarrassing.

    My friend was on a dance team and her team was hosting some kind of fundraiser at a bar. I'm not into the bar scene but it was $1.50 CDN drinks til midnight and it was for her team so I went.

    Anyways, $35 worth of drinks and tips and I'm thinking I'm hot shit. I start prancing around the bar, accosting random men, declaring myself the "offical chest hair inspector" and lifting their shirts... I'm shit faced. I don't really remember most of it, but I've pieced together enough of it to know that at some point, I "chest hair inspected" this teenage werewolf type. Apparently I told him to speak in an Irish accent, then grabbed him by the chest hair and started making out with him. After some time, I broke off and announced "I'm done! See ya!" and waltzed off to drink some more. I pulled the same act on some other guy whose chest hair was sufficiently lush... and then the bartender started buying me drinks. By this time, I was wearing about six pairs of beer goggles, so I was all :winky: "why hello stranger. Come here often?"

    Anyways, the night rolls on and I'm just shmammered. I ended up in the bathroom consoling some girl who was puking (all chipper and supportive was I), and then I puked. I was a mess. Makeup running down my face, puke breath, sweaty... and I still think I'm hot shit. The bouncer is knocking on the door and I'm cheerily saying "thank you, I'll be done in a minute" between bouts of vomiting. Then the bartender comes in to get me. And I'm hot shit. So he asks me for my number and I scrawl my number and e-mail address across his entire arm (I think I scribbled on his face too, because I thought that was... cute?) and head home.

    Few days later, this guy e-mails me to ask me for a date. I don't quite remember him, but I'm pretty excited because clearly I am so charming and cute that I can pick up even when I'm drunk. And then my friend sends me pictures from the bar web site... pictures of me and this guy, all chummy-chummy. He is a shorter, darker, younger, less attractive version of Jean Chretien . Right down to the slack, post-stroke mouth. Teenage werewolf was George fucking Clooney compared to this guy.

    So the moral of the story is if you're plastered, covered in vomit and sweat, last person in the bar, stanky, skanky and someone still wants your phone number... they are probably about as narsty as you are and you shouldn't be flattered.

    And I never drank that much ever again.

    The end.

    Yeah, about halfway through I began to wonder if Von had discovered the most tolerant bar ever. Or if (s)he was in a gay bar and I'd somehow skipped a paragraph. Anyway, I guess it makes sense now.

    My boyfriend and I are living with his mother while we save money to move to another state. His bedroom is in a relatively isolated area of the house but the washer and dryer are right next to his door so it can be an area of high traffic.

    A few days ago we thought we had the house to ourselves so we started going at it like rabbits. It was a Saturday morning quickie but due to story-irrelevant circumstances we hadn't had sex in three weeks so I was feeling especially vocal and expressive:winky:. I was biting down on my hand but I know a few stray yells made it out loud and clear.

    When we finished I wrapped myself in a blanket to run to the bathroom and grab some toilet paper. When I opened the door my boyfriend's mail fell out of the door. His mother usually picks up the mail and when she does she just sticks it in the crack of the bedroom door if we're not home or busy.

    I guess she came up to the door to deliver the mail and must have heard us... getting busy. Special delivery!

    I crawled back into bed for post-sex snuggle time. He was horrified, poor guy. He had this weird grin of horror and embarrassment for at least an hour.

    We snuck out of the house and avoided his mother. Later that day we had to face her because we had dinner plans. She's a pretty open broad so I think she would have said something if she'd heard us but she acted totally normal. I think perhaps she stuck the mail in the door while we were still in Saturday morning snuggle mode but I'm not really sure... either way, there was a moment of mortification for my boyfriend and I.
