The modern woman's adventures in T.O.
My professional neighbour Gallery drops by to help herself to some of the chocolate chip cookie dough I'm batching up while Walworf cuts his toenails at the kitchen table.
Gallery: I saw the biggest asshole on the subway today.
Walworf: Boss HarperCon?
Gallery: Strike one, brainiac. Like, Bo, this guy was really cute and stuff, and we were totally looking at each other, and made some eye contact. And then he like just stood there holding the strap, and smiled at me. So I was like, smiling back. And then we just waited, and he got out two stops later. And I was like, "Fuck you, asswipe."
Bo: Huh?
Gallery: Like, what kind of asshole doesn't come over and say hi? We were totally into each other, I would have given him my card - we could have been having coffee tomorrow or this weekend.
Bo: I thought you were a feminist??
Gallery: Of course I'm a feminist!! Why would you even question that?!?!

That's pretty funny. I had a colleague and good friend playing "eye contact" with a guy in our building for over a year, and she could never get up the guts to say more than "hi." She didn't, however, decide HE was a jerk for being equally shy.
They never did connect, and I've wondered what might have happened if they had.
Hey without these little moments we'd never have those "what if" moments to occupy our thoughts once in awhile..
And who doesn't have at least one what if moment stored away?
note: what if's are best kept to oneself..
And along comes Craig's List Missed Encounters to fix our shattered lives.
