Okay, I usally don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Love is always in the air 365 days a year with me. What's one day with an a**hole that gives you flowers and candy then makes you cry? I'll take the simple things in life....someone hopeless romantic who shows me his love and affection E-Very-day (in my dreams)!
This may be TMI for this blog but, I really don't care because it's a funny story.
So, I'm as single as they come.
I can't complain about that because I feel like God has blessed me thus far and will soon enough bless me with the right man.
I met Mars (that's his play-play name for now). We only known each other since mid Dec. I enjoyed (notice the past tense) his company. blah blah blah
Fast forward to V-day weekend.
So, I didn't plan on faking "lovebirds" on February 14th. I just figured, he would come visit and we would just enjoy each others company (like we always did).
It was a total disaster from day 1.
Before he gets off the bus, he texted me to say:
Are we going to the movies when I get there?
Is the movie theater nice? (Who asks that?)
Going down the highway he says:
“This is the longest road EVER!! I’m starving, where are we going to eat?
On the way to BRIXX from the bus station he says:
“I thought that you said the bus station was downtown. Is this what you call downtown?”
Going down GLENWOOD to Brier Creek he says:
“This is the longest road EVER!! I’m starving, where are we going to eat?
When we arrive in Brier Creek he says:
Is this all that’s in Raleigh? What does Raleigh have to offer? No really, what is Raleigh known for?

Friday night when we get back to my place he walks in and asks me:
Is your fireplace real? (no doe doe head, it's just a figment of your imagination.)
Saturday Morning he wants cereal...so, he looks into the fridge and says:
You don’t even have milk!?!?!? (and I did, it was on the side of the door :\
Sunday we are going to grab lunch and he says:
You live so far away from everything! It takes too long to go anywhere!
We’re walking around in one of the shopping centers and he says:
Why is the mall carpeted? That’s weird. Do you shop here? (I was baffled by this..)

Afterwards I figure, we could go to Frankies and play putt-putt, ride go carts and play video games. It sounds like fun right? You would think that nothing could mess that up right? Well think again?
Okay, so we’re playing this “Rambo” game….. We’re playing and shooting and kicking a**. I was having fun and he seemed excited. So, inbetwixt the levels, they tell the Rambo story. If you shoot your gun....then it automatically skips to the next level of play. Anyway, I was preparing myself to shoot at the end of the informative Rambo short story.........and lifted my machine gun up to my shoulder and he yells out “Don’t shoot dummy!”…”No not yet!” :/
Sunday night, I cooked dinner for him and he has this favorite dessert (golden graham smores)….so, I tried to make it in accordance with a recipe that I found online.
Well, it didn’t turn out right. I added the chocolate morsels or some sh*t at the wrong time (at this point in time---I was just ready to give up).lol Like, f*ck these d*mn smores. Well, then he says:
“No, you’re suppose to stir the cereal into the melted marshmallows and THEEEEEN add the chocolate chips. To the unknowingly naked eye, this looks like dog poo.”
After eating, he then volunteers to put the food up (which means wrap aluminum foil around the pans I guess)…..well, he comes back to sit down and says:
You need to invest in some more aluminum foil. That brand just doesn’t cut it!

So, the next day....before he left, I thought we might take a little walk around a lake near my apt (honestly, to kill time). While we were walking, this lady was jogging.. He looks at the lady.......then.....looks at me and says:
“I bet you look funny running :/ Can you run like her? You don’t look like you’re very athletic.”
To top it off, the entire weekend, he used my dove body wash! There was a half bottle of dial left to be used before I was to open that bottle. WTF!?!?
And you know those frozen cups! (that kinda makes your drink all slushy-like.....) Well, I only got 1! And it’s mine! Call me selfish but, I specifically asked him not to use that cup because that’s my favorite cup! How about when I left Monday, this joker is lying in the chair when I get back drinking out of my cup! When I specifically asked him not to.

Last but definitely not least......he goes into my drawer and opens up a brand new tube of toothpaste because he doesn't like the "taste" of the toothpaste that is already opened. And he didn't even ask :/
What a Jerk...
It took every part of my soul not to create a hostile environment. I am so proud of myself because I did what was right. What I really wanted to do was drop him off in the middle of nowhere. I didn't lose my cool and blatantly disrespect him. I talked to him after I had a few days to cool off, told him how I felt and that was that. Needless to say....neither one of us wants to talke to each other anymore
Was anyone elses Valentines day as funny and/or wretched as mine.lol

Psh. After all that complaining before he even got there? I would have said, "When you get here, take the next bus back home."
Wow. Damn. You should have run away from him. You were too nice. He was complaining too darn much. I read this with my mouth open "saying to myself no he didn't". He didn't call you "dumb". Oh heck no. He would have been back on the bus that night and I was not going to be cooking any thing else. Girl I hope you didn't buy the bus ticket. What a JERK!!! You are too cute for that mess.
Beautiful hair by the way!!!
Wow, I give you props, how did you keep your cool?
did he have anything positive to say?
Hey ladies,
I have no idea how I kept my cool. He was so oblivious. He actually thought that none of that stuff bothered me. Very obnoxious person he is.
I could have demeaned his character...but, I felt like it would have made things even worse. I just know not to EVER talk to him again.
I've visited him on a few occasions and I was trying to be accepting because he's still in school and he doesn't have very much. That's the first AND last time I EVER do that. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt because of his situation.
However, you can't be a jerk and be broke at the same time.lol I knew that if I had lashed back at him.....
I would have hurt him a lot more than he EVER could hurt me. I can tear an ego down quick.
But, for some reason....I just didn't want to do that to him. He didn't hurt my feelings. He was just a nuisance.
"However, you can't be a jerk and be broke at the same time.lol"
For some folks being a jerk/nuisanse go hand in hand. I know several of this type.
I'm sorry maybe I shouldn't laugh but this post had me cracking up...LMAO. I've had experiences like this before and it is uber annoying. I say kudos to you for being so patient and nice to this jacka**.
he's a mess.
Yeah... I am so agreeing with Mel. I would have been like, ummm, change of plans. How rude!
LOL...hilarious. I cant STAND people like that! I definitely would have called him out WAY before you did! Good for you, you kept your cool.
Yikes! I'm liking the fantasy boyfriend (in your sidebar) - you know, the big "O" ;o)
I can't remember my V-Day. I know I'm habitually single as I can't seem to stand anybody longer than 2 weeks.
You have a lot more patience than I do. I would have left him somewhere.

Glad to say, I will N-E-V-E-R do that again.
I know you didn't have a good time (to put it mildly) and I don't know what motivated you to keep the weekend going with this guy (vs. "calling in sick (of you)" for the rest of the weekend), but this post was Soooo good ... you just told the story so well, it was like being there. Wait, could it be that I DID go through this in some past dating experience? Probably, though I'm pretty sure I put us both out of our pain pretty quickly. I'm just glad that you felt good about yourself for doing what you felt was the right thing. In the meantime, I'm trying to remember exactly what I did this past Valentine's Day. :-\
Gurl throw that kid back on the play ground. Where the heck did you meet him at? My Boo is from Durham and I've been to Brier Creek. It's a nice place.
