wherin I'm told my sexuality

[smileyeagle1021]

sadly this guy didn't have a reservation and we were sold out so I couldn't have refused service if I wanted to... that and he just wanted directions.

anyway, the philly/dallas game was on tonight, it's on the tv in the lobby and I'm not paying that much attention (because we're busy... and honestly, I don't like football)... anyway I got his gem

sc- yeah, can you give me directions to (hotel a block away, seriously, how people can't find it is a mystery to me)
me- oh, that's easy, just turn right on that road right there, go just past the stop sign, it will be on the left hand side.
sc- hey, who's winning the game
me- I believe Dallas is.
sc- you believe... you mean you haven't been paying attention?
me- no it's busy, besides I don't really like football, personally I prefer basketball or soccer.
sc- does your boyfriend dislike football as well?
me- excuse me
sc- oh, sorry, your dating life is none of my business
me- *death glare*
sc- oh, I see, you're still single, don't worry, there are other guys like you who don't like football.
me- *more death glare*
sc- ok, I'll be on my way

so yes, apparently because I don't like football I must be gay... uhuh, yeah, sorry to disappoint.

That's just when you turn to him, and in the most level tone and straight face go, "That depends, what's your stance on football?"

Or just tell them your girlfriend likes a guy who doesn't watch the game.

[Lingering Grin]

Wow, then I must be gayer than Freddie Mercury!

There are VERY few sports I like to watch, I really only enjoy some non-competition martial arts, and trick shots pool.

I need to go tell my girlfriend...

.

after he left I actually thought that to my self... that oh how I wished I had been able to say something like that... but hey, he caught me off guard.

[thehippie777]

wow, what a dick.

[mharbourgirl]

To the OP: Awww, the poor guy. You ruined his attempt to show how tolerant he was of 'alternative lifestyles'. How mean!



To the 'customer': Seriously, Mr. Eats-his-feet-for-breakfast-without-ketchup, my husband would like to have a word with you. He hates football. Why? Because it takes up air time that could be used to broadcast more hockey games. And I appreciate that sentiment because I get cranky when I don't get my hockey fix. So what does that make US?

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Actually I would have looked at him and said "American football is for pussies. A bunch of men who wear body armor while playing a game. Now Rugby, there's a sport for men. No pads, no helmets, no armor. Just a bunch of people bashing through other people, leaving bodies literally flying in their wake. Now that's a sport."

I used that line. The person didn't call me gay like yours did, but he was giving me crap because I didn't enjoy a real "man's sport" like football.

I don't want to derail the thread... but last I checked, rugby players do wear leather helmets, plus shoulder, elbow, and knee pads...

[Lace Neil Singer]

Not round here, they don't; what sport are you thinking of? The one I'm thinking of involves several large men pounding each other into the ground, with a few teeth lost along the way. I know what I'm talking about; my dad used to play rugby professionally and sadly, I could not escape the damn sport while I was growing up. -.- Tho I didn't play it, prefering horse riding; both my little brothers played rugby for a local team. My dad got two front teeth knocked out playing rugby, and one of my brothers had his leg broken when a guy landed on it while tackling him.

Here's a few links to photos of rugby players in motion; ie, playing the game:

About the only armourment my dad insisted my brothers have while playing was a mouth guard; he didn't want either of them to lose their teeth the way he had.

Poor deluded man, thinking that being gay = being a pansy... maybe he needs to read up on the life of Ronnie Kray sometime so he can lose that idea. XD

This takes me back to the last super bowl.

Rather than retype it I'm just going to copy and paste the livejournal entry I wrote, chronicling the event:

Feb, 4th 2008
11:34 am
I'm on the evening shift all this week. A bunch of people got fired so naturally I'm being punished for being the only staff member useful enough to have on the evening shift. Treat.

Why does everyone assume I'm into football? I mean, five or six different people yesterday asked me what team I was rooting for, whether I'd get out in time to catch the game, blah, blah fricking blah. And what pissed me off even more were the people who told me I was boring because I didn't want to watch the Superbowl.

I'm sorry.

A: I just moved into my new apartment and can't really afford the cable to watch said sporting event.
B: I have a job which takes up 40 hours of my time each week, thus explaining why I'm not sitting outside asking for spare change like the rest of you liars who knowingly take advantage of well the well intentioned fucks who keep you all in beer and drugs.
And C: This is to the gentleman with the American Express Business card who told me I was boring: Like I give less than a sweet fuck what you think of me.

So just to clairfy for everyone, I don't give two shits about what team wins what in any sporting event. Just leave me the fuck alone, and when I ring you up, shut the hell up and get out of my store.

[Sheldonrs]

And the funny thing is, the last time I watched a football game was the Superbowl with the Janet Jackson nip show. And I watched it in a gay bar in Boston.

[Hemily]

yes...

Nothing is more manly than watching grown men in weird outfits, running around with a pig's bladder, while other men try to dive at his crotch.

This is only for MANLY MEN!

[Lace Neil Singer]

You forgot the communal showers afterwards. XD Also, in football (soccer) the guys hug and kiss on the fields; hmm, so manly. XD

[blas]

Guys who aren't all that into sports = Blas in

Even if you were into sports....you were at work...it would only be a perk for it to be slow enough for you to be able to watch the whole damn game.

Edit to add: It is kinda frustrating when people spew out such verbal diahrrea. I've been asked by coworkers what I had for supper or how often I clean....I'll say something like "I don't cook....it has to be microwavable, deliverable, or fast food, or I'm not eating. Don't have time or energy during the week." or I'll say "I don't clean, spiff." and they'll reply "No wonder you have such shit luck with men." or "You'll make some guy really unhappy one day!"

I've been making men unhappy since 1987. No plans on stopping any time soon

"Yeah, your mom turned me gay."
which can be followed by "Looks like she turned you too," if you want.
