I might sound like an ass to some people, I don't care though.
This is a MAJOR pet peeve of mine. I'm sure almost every guy has experienced this, probably multiple times for some of us.
I absolutely hate it when I go to a store and I go out of my way to get on the check out aisle of a really pretty girl. Like if I see that the other line is dying down before the one I want is finished checking out the person in front of me, I've been known to jump out of line for a second and pretend I forgot something I needed and then jump back in. That's what I did tonight at Target. Then the woman in front of me is using a credit card or possibly a debit card, and she's taking frickin forever to sign the electronic signature thing or whatever. And I always find when somebody uses plastic to pay for things, it sometimes leads to the machine not working or the card getting denied, which is another pet peeve of mine if I'm in a rush. I never have problems when I use my card somewhere.
Tonight I wasn't in a rush, I just wanted to rung up by the attractive 20 something year old red head. Since the woman with the card was taking her sweet ass time (not that I seriously blame her because I don't expect her to know that I'm purposely trying to get checked out by the attractive checkout girl), I got the old famous ''I can help you over here!'' line from the woman on the next aisle. Usuaully I'll insist to the person behind me in line to go over and get on the other line, there was no one behind me tonight though. Now this other woman that called me over was very sweet and nice, she's just a little older than what I'm attracted to and is probably married and has lots of kids. I'd rather get the 20 something than the 40 something, unless the 40 something happens to be much more attractive. And I felt bad because I probably had this frustrated and annoyed look and body language when she called me over. It's not her fault either, it's no one's fault. Just absolutely crappy luck for me.
I'll tell you this happened about FIVE times when I was trying to go on the line of an attractive girl that I dated a little while back. I got the old ''I can help you over here'' line about 5 times before I could get rang up by a girl that I eventually dated, back when I went into her store and was trying to talk to her. And there was no one behind me that I could offer the chance to get on that line instead during any of those occasions. Then after a couple weeks I finally got lucky and was able to get her and eventually talk to her.
Now I wasn't gonna necessarily ask this girl out tonight, I'm just a man and I like getting on the lines of the most attractive girl. I think most single men would do the same, they're probably lying if they say they don't. And even if it comes down to an older unattractive woman or a man's line, I'll almost always go to the unattractive female's line over a male's checkout aisle, just because I'd rather talk to a woman. I talk to plenty of men all day, I'd rather talk to a woman. I'm not apologizing for that either.
Yeah so rant over. Better luck to me next time!
