Old people are so cute sometimes! I love when an old person uses a young person term like in IM's or text messages and they say "LOL" or some other acronym that I never used with them for the fear that they wouldn't know WTF I was talking about. I think it's adorable. And it makes me respect them a little more - like "ok, you're not completely out-of-date!" Like when Tim Gunn was taught the phrase "Holla at cha boy" I loved when he said it! This older, white, gay, stiff man saying "Holler at ya boy!" - it's hilarious!
On the other hand, old people are NOT so cute when they try to be your friend - and they should be friends with people their own age, like closer to my parents age! Why is this man at work trying to befriend me and I'm like ewww. I mean, I know old men still think they can get it poppin with younger women (cuz some women like that) but I am not one. So this man at work keeps calling me and IM'ing me and I'm like "uuuhhhh, sir please stop." This is how our last convo went on the phone:
Me: Hell-o?
Him: Hey - yeah so I'm taking a few days off so I won't see you for awhile.
Me: Oh ok.
Him: Yeah, I need some rest. These folks in here tryna run me around all crazy.
Me: Mmhmm.
Him: Yeah, so we'll have to do lunch sometime when I get back next week.
Me: I won't be here.
Him: Ok, well when you get back then.
Me: Actually, I don't go out to lunch. I don't have time.
Him: Oh come on - you gotta make time for lunch! You can't let them work you too hard!
Me: I make time, but I bring my lunch and eat at my desk. I just don't like to go out.
Him: You mean you just don't want to go out with ME. Come on, it's just a co-worker thing!
Me: No it's not that. I just don't want to.
Him: Look, I just like hanging with cool people. I mean, it's not like that - don't you know I'm married!? And I see the ring, I ain't tryna cross no boundaries!
Me: *thinking to myself - "yeah you're married, but I bet she's not a PYT like me old perv"*
Yeah, I know I just don't want to.
Him: Ok then, I'll talk to you later.
I don't want to talk to him at all. I try to be as standoffish as I can without being outright rude, but it's about to get ugly.

re:tim gunn- its so adorable because he's open to it and doesn't try and judge it. he just goes with the flow which is awesome. he gets so many props for that!
re: that phone call- YOU are evil and HE is a nuisance!! i am so mad he just KEPT insisting after you were BLATANTLY rude. LMAO i love it
Please tell me this was the work phone!!!
Anyways, he's weird. Avoid him at all cost. I don't think you were being evil but just trying to give him a hint that you're not interested without being rude. Doesn't seem like it worked then but I hope he got the point. If not, start making him feel old and unattractive by calling him "Sir" and comparing his likes and dislikes to those of your parents and grandparents. That'll work for sure :)!
scrilla mean. hahahahah Go to lunch and just keep bletching, he wont ask you again or call.
lol
Lol - yes it was the work phone and I am going to call him sir! Good idea. I can't stomach even trying to eat a meal with this man.
