The rational middle ground between self-denial and self-indulgence.

Dear New Guy

I apologize profusely for standing you up on our first date. I was there, sitting in the far corner of the Starbucks, reading behind a huge newspaper while wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, like I always do on blind dates. I saw you. You seemed nice enough when you first entered. But when I checked out your outfit, I paused. Pink-ish shirt with green piping and a Bettie Paige silhouette on one side. Orange-brown-white plaid pants, cuffed. Bright, Ross-teeth-white sneakers. Ouch. And then you acted like a jerk to the girl at the counter. So what if she shorted you three cents? There's no need for you to call her an uneducated cunt. Besides, that's what you get for paying $4.50 for what is essentially a tarted-up version of a cup of fucking coffee. I would've still shown myself at that point, -- if only to kick the living shit out of you in a misguided attempt to teach you good manners-- but when I remembered your e-mails, rife with spelling errors, improper punctuation, horrible sentence structure, and grammatical mistakes, I decided I'd save myself the trouble.

Consider this a pre-emptive fuck off. But apologies for making you sit there waiting after I was long gone.

Sincerely,
Avatar.

PS: It's "you're hot", not "your hot"; a lot is 2 words, not one; it's "meet there", not "meet their", and there are 83 free fucking dictionaries on the internet. You uneducated cunt.

I fully support your decision to stand this guy up - but how funny would the story have been if you had actually told the guy to his face why you would not be staying to have coffee with him.... I bet he would have been dumbfounded (emphasis on the dumb...)

Wow! What a complete dick! Asshole works for attractive guys who are sexy and good for a tumble in the sack but dweebs who can't dress, can't spell and treat people who get minimum wage like shit deserve to be kicked in the balls then laughed at while they cry. Congratulations that you ditched this loser before he wasted anymore of your time.

Yeah, call me a snob, but I don't think I would ever agree to meet someone whose emails contained spelling and/or grammatical errors.

(This is me re-reading this comment 124 times over to make sure I don't come across like a total hypocrite.)

Granted, the guy sounds like a wanker, but is grammer really that inportant?

If someone came into a shop I was working in and called me an uneducated cunt then the next place they would be is the pavement (sidewalk), minimum wage or not.

Even if I hadn't had a man in over three months, I would not touch him.

Had I been the employee he called an uneducated cunt, I think I would have had a nicely timed "muscle-spasm" while handing him his coffee, then laughed while he was crying from the hot coffee.

hugh

LOL You're a riot :)

Amazing how many dickheads there are in this world! Glad you escaped that one :)

Spelling counts! (But then a big vocabulary makes me wet...so I'm easy. lol)

I have to say I agree. A mistake here or there isn't really a problem, but when I have to spend an hour deciphering a fucking horrid E-mail or post, it pisses me off to know end. It's terrific if you are a dim-witted fucktard, but at least use the damned spell checker.

Burn the wanker! The Starbucks barista would probably be more than happy to help. Oh, wait. You did. Nevermind.

Puleez! This man aspires to be a cunt!

Limp dicked, prepped out posseur!!!

His outfit strikes me as an arrogant prick!

Blech!

I would email him back and let him know what you think, actually!

Goody for you, for standing him up.:)

Now I feel like a chode because there was actually an error in that rant. OK, I admit, my name is Dave, and I am a dim-witted fucktard.

Brilliant.
I've been wondering if I was the only one who put so much weight on good punctuation in personal ads.
