This actually happened to me at work once. Seriously, what is it with douchey frat boy types and horrible, offensive pick up lines?



I guess this dude had some sort of LDS fetish (or, at the very least, some very odd stereotypes about what LDS girls "look" like and/or how they behave). And he seemed to think saying "you look innocent" to a girl is a compliment. News flash to any boys reading this: if you say "you look innocent" to a girl in the wrong setting and/or tone of voice, you'll come across as very, VERY creepy. Do yourself and female kind a favor and just retire that line from your pick up line vocabulary if you haven't already.

On the bright side, not all the boys in that douchey frat boy group were loathsome jerks. One of them came up to me privately later on to apologize for the behavior of his friend. I thanked him, but told him that his buddy really ought to grow a pair of balls (and a sense of chivalry) and apologize to me himself. He never did. Oy vey.

It's funny in retrospect, but at the time I was extremely pissed off. It was the first time I was ever REALLY tempted to mess with a customer's food.

People should know not to mess with the people who can mess with their food.

Was this in California? He must not have ever actually encountered a Californian Mormon. They are some of the most spitfire people I ever met! (And I love them for it.) I think I would have had a field day with this guy. ^_-

(First general rule for identifying LDS people from a crowd: You can't identify an LDS person from the crowd. We blend in amazingly well.)

Yep. It was at my current job. And I would totally LOVE to see what you would have done to the guy if you were in my place. ~_^


Every once in a while I get a customer who tries to guess my nationality. But this was the only time I ever heard someone guess "Mormon" (I know LDS isn't a "nationality", but this moron seemed to think it was).
