Tonight in the produce section at the grocery store...
Him: Grapes? You know, I think you can really learn a lot about a person by what they buy at the store.
I didn't really know how to respond. I wasn't even sure he was hitting on me... Maybe he was just being friendly... in some odd, creepy way... So I smile politely and walk away...
Me: Have a good night.
I move to the next aisle. As I enter from one end, he enters from another. He smiles. I don't know why I didn't run far, far away but I had this attitude like "why should I have to avoid HIM?" I'm a fool.
Him: We meet again.
Me: Yeah...
Him: You see really down to earth, which is nice. Everyone in this town works in entertainment. I fucking hate the entertainment industry, ya know? Like people wanna tell you who they've worked with and like I've worked with Leonardo DiCaprio on Gilbert Grape but I'm not gonna TELL people that, ya know?
Me: Right...
I should point out that now, I am laughing outright. I mean for this to mock him but he takes it as encouragement.
Him: See? You totally get that. You have a great laugh. No one in my industry gets me. I really fucking hate the entertainment types. What do you do?
Me: I work in the entertainment industry.
Him: Wow. Well... well, okay.
He walks away. Never to be heard from again.
