Stood Up For The Second Time.

[strawbabies]

I think you dodged a bullet. She's either incredibly stupid, or just really self absorbed. It sounds like you might have been the Plan B guy, who she'll try to run to if/when things don't work out her way with her ex.

[Jester]

She is definitely stupid. Not vain or self-absorbed (not any more than any other woman of her age, anyways), but definitely stupid.

She's so stupid, I described some things she did that morning to Blondie, my ex from forever ago, who herself is a self-admitted dumb blonde, and here are some of Blondie's texts back to me regarding this girl (quoted verbatim, all mistakes and typing shortcuts are hers):

"Wtf she is seriously dunb"

"Holy christ she is worse than me"

"Wow just wow...at this point i don't think u should even fuck her, [jester] shes dumber than a box of rox!"

"Dumb just dumb"

"Ur IQ might drop by screwing her."

ROFL bolded.

[Jester]

Well, she is nothing if not consistent.

Friday she was serving while I was bartending. Early in the shift, she asked me if I wanted to get after work "so we can talk." And she came behind the bar to give me a hug, which I did not really return.

My thought on the matter? Why not? If nothing else, it could be entertaining. Besides, based on her track record, I had my doubts whether she'd even show up, since I would be getting out of work well after her. (Just the way the schedule works.)

Anyway, she got done around 4 and left. I finished around 6, and sat down to have a drink with a friend who had come in. I was in no hurry to text the dingaling because, well, fuck her.

After a drink at my bar, my friend and I decamped to another bar around the corner. From there, I texted Dingaling telling her where I was. Anyone wanna guess what her response was?

If you guessed "none," congratulations, you win! She, who wanted to "talk," didn't even bother to text me back, not even with a lame excuse. Just nada. So an hour after my original text, I sent her a second one: "No response. How utterly shocking and atypical of you." Got no response from that one either, but didn't expect to.

Then yesterday, right as I was finishing up, she was coming in, and as she passed me, she said, "Hey there!" in a very friendly way, as if nothing had happened. Which, technically, it hadn't.

What a dingaling. Can't wait to see what her next move is.

[Seanette]

I hope she's a bit better at follow-through when it comes to serving customers, at least.

[Victory Sabre]

I'm glad, in a way, that I don't have that type of BS to deal with at work.

I do have a cute gal at work, very cute, extremely hot cute, but she's in a long term relationship, and we're best of friends.

[Jester]

Oddly, it's not at all awkward at work. At least, not for me. (I have no idea if it's awkward for her. If it is, she hasn't really shown it that much.) Last Monday, after she stood me up for the second time, was slightly weird, but that was as much because I was so angry as anything else. Since then, I've just been bemused by the whole situation, but even with that going on, work is work, and we both do our jobs well. Really, once we're busy, our only interaction is me making her drinks. But whatever. As I said, it's become more amusing than anything else for me.

[MoonCat]

OK, she's getting something out of this. The only question is what?

I'm guessing attention. And maybe the feeling of being pursued

[Jay 2K Winger]

I'm guessing attention. And maybe the feeling of being pursued

That would require Jester to actually pursue her, and that would mean he would be actively trying to go out with her again. But she's the one initiating these "dates" that she doesn't show up for.

Maybe she enjoys the idea of jerking someone around like this.

Karma's gonna come calling on her one day, though.

[Jester]

Not surprisingly, there is a coda to the story. Also not surprisingly, it's filled with stupidity.

Shortly after my last posting, Dingaling called out on a Friday for some dentist appointment, despite the manager telling her she needed to cover her shift. She then worked the next day, Saturday, and on Sunday called out for a bike accident. Which some people speculated was actually a cover story for her idiot ex beating her up, but her roommate, one of my coworkers, verified the bike story. Either way, management had had enough, and they told her in no uncertain terms that she was no longer part of The Bar family.

Then, apparently, because my coworker, her roommate, is so nice, Coworker bought Dingaling a one way bus ticket to Orlando, since Dingaling wanted to go live with her mom or something and start fresh. This should have been the end of it.

It wasn't. Because Coworker's credit card company contacted Coworker. Somehow, there were TWO bus tickets on her card. Somehow, miraculously and coincidentally, Idiot Ex also happened to be on the bus. Also several other charges were rang up on Coworker's card, despite coworker having the card in her possession. Coworker's theory is that either Dingaling or Idiot Ex rifled the drawer where said credit card was, which also contained Coworker's passport and other sensitive data. The credit card company is working with Coworker to try to restore the money, and of course the card and its accompanying number have been frozen. And Coworker has filed a police report.

Also through the grapevine we heard that Dingaling had gotten off the Orlando-bound bus in Miami, and was stripping in a club up there. And apparently she had been working in one of the strip clubs down here near the end of her stay, though I never heard about it until after the fact.

In any case, clearly I dodged a blonde bullet on this one. My dealings with her are clearly done, but somehow I don't think the story is. Should be interesting if any more comes to light. And I'm glad I dodged the bullet, not just for the obvious reason, but because it might have meant I might not have met or gotten involved with the woman I did, in fact, meet a couple weeks ago.

You escaped a human hurricane. You really did.

This is true.

Now what about details on this other woman, Jester, hmmm?

[Tama]

That is so much nope.

Internet high-fives for avoiding sticking your d*ck in crazy!

[Jester]

Now what about details on this other woman, Jester, hmmm?

Forthcoming soon enough......
