Please let me know if in any way I deserved this, because it was pretty scary for me.
So, shopping with my husband this past weekend, he's waiting at the jewelry case while I go to customer service to get someone to help me with a watch. I'm waiting while the service lady and some other chick are chatting about their kids and classes and whatever while she's returning some items. I don't care, it's a good day so far (woo I got a camera!) and I'm waiting.
Three guys come up, two older dudes who are buddies and second guys son.
Dude one: D1
Dude two: D2
Dude two's son: D3
Zombiequeen the velociraptor: me
D1 and D2 are chatting about trucks or something.
D3-"Hey, I like your necklace. What movie is that from?"
me-"The game Assassins Creed. It's the symbol for the assassin."
D3-"Oh, cool. I play so many games and watch so many movies that I forget."
I decide to look at yet another customer bringing a cartful of soda empties to customer service, Hmmm returns machines must be jammed.
D3-"So, you play any good games lately?"
me-"Meh, I've been watching my husband play Starcraft II, that's pretty entertaining."
hint 1 has been dropped
D3-"Eh, I hate games like that. They're lame."
Me-"Whatever, I like it."
D3-"You ever play Madden? Now that's quality gaming."
Me-"Nope, don't do sold-out sports games"
Hey, he asked for it by insulting Starcraft.
D3-"Oh, well I have tons of other games, you want to hang out sometime? I play a rough game"
Me-"Nah, my husband might not appreciate that too much."
Hint two, anyone?
Yeah, the ladies are still chatting.
D3-"So, why are you standing here?"
Me-"To get someone to unlock the jewelry case for me."
I'm really not liking how he's looking at me...not quite up at face level, you know?
D1-to D2-"Hey, so how is [D3's name] doing in school?"
D2-"Well, he's thinking about going to {rip-off college's name} this fall."
Me, just having to drop all the hints I can here-"{college} ripped my husband off pretty bad, maybe you should think about somewhere else."
D2-"Really? Huh, maybe we'll look into that more."
He goes back to his conversation, and I start humming to myself.
Chatty ladies are done, so I go up to the desk to be helped.
Someone goes to help me with the jewelry case. I get my watch and thank the lady. Now husband and I are off to the craft section, and D2 and D3 walk by. I relay the above to hubby.
Next we go to electronics. Hubbs is chatting with the desk guy about the renovations (he's on the team renovating) while I wander over a couple sections.
D3-"Whatcha looking at, sweet thing?"
me, having a total WTF? moment-"Uhm...nothing. Just seeing what's new."
I'm getting a real creeper vibe from this kid, and I notice his dad is nowhere to be found, and I'm out of eyesight of my husband.
D3-"Have you played [random PS3 specific game]."
me-"Nope."
Maybe if I brush him off?
D3-"You should hang out with me sometime and we'll play it. I promise not to rape you too bad...at the game"
Yeah, pause and everything. Now, I have some...experience with rape, so this is in no way funny or even ok to say around me. I immediately jump to evil-velociraptor mode.
Me-"I have no interest in going to your house or playing a game with you."
D3-"You C*nt. I just want to hang out."
Never, EVER, call me that. It is one of the few things I do not tolerate.
Me-"Excuse me? I've made it clear I do not want to hang out. And, do not call me that!"
D3-"WHY, CUZ YOU'RE A C*NT?"
AT this point, Hubby and desk guy are both over where we are, because I said what I did loud enough to get my husband's attention, and the dude practically screamed that at me. They both take the position between us, because I'm about ready to hit this guy.
Hubbs-"Get the fuck away from my wife before I have your intestines as a hat."
he is rather colorful in his insults
Desk guy, to D3-"Sir, I'm going to ask you to leave the store. You're language is not permitted here."
D3-"But, she is a c*nt. Plus this random jackoff is saying fuck. I'm not going anywhere."
me-"Don't you ever call me that."
Yeah, I realize it was kind of stupid for me to speak up again, but hey, I was safe now.
Desk guy-"If you don't leave, I'm just gonna let her husband do whatever he wants to you."
D3 finally notices the pocket clip for the knife my husband always has on him. He backs off.
D3-"I'm not scared of you, him, or that stupid bitch."
He runs off, presumably to Daddy.
We payed for the yarn, and left. I was so freaked, I didn't even want to go out to lunch or anything, just go home and cry. I barely made it to work that night, I was just so upset by the whole thing.
Now that I'm thinking back on it, it's just something that happened. But man, I was shaking like a chihuahua there in the store.
