Too Much ... Maybe
I have been told on occasion that I can be a bit brash. Mostly it happens when I have had a few pints and decide I need to introduce myself to tourists, or pick an argument just because I feel like it. But there are times when I am naturally out spoken without the aid of any drinks. I know! It was shocking to me too, but onto the story.
Yesterday I was talking with this guy about yet another sales meeting and I had to move it up a week earlier than we had initially discussed. We ended up talking for fifteen minutes about this and that and my upcoming business trip and he was recommending a pub to me … blah blah blah … so we finally found a date that worked and it was a week earlier than originally proposed. Once the date was settled we had the following exchange
Sales Guy: So now the meeting is a week early, and you aren’t going to be there.
TSG: Sorry man, there is nothing I can do, the boss wants to talk sooner.
Sales Guy: And you aren’t even going to go to the pub I recommended.
TSG: Sorry, I am going to be busy, I can’t do everything.
Sales Guy: But you managed to move the meeting up by a week. Now I have to do the prep earlier and work instead of …
TSG: … surfing for porn on the internet … (I still can’t quite believe I said that)
Long Silence
Sales Guy: I can’t believe you just said that.
TSG: What? Porn?
Sales Guy: Yes. I don’t think a client has ever said that to me. I can’t even say that word in my office.
TSG: *giggle* Really? My office is a little more relaxed than yours. But I think you already knew that.
The conversation continued from there for a bit but I don’t think he ever really recovered from the shock.
If he shocks that easily, is he really the kind of guy this single girl wants to be hanging around?

That's funny. Where I work, the word "porn" gets *yelled* across the office at least four times a week.
What would your go-to punchline be if it wasn't "porn"?
I'm so confused.
I guess the punch line could have been drinking or goofing off ... but really, Porn is the number one answer. I think this guy is just a little too uptight for me and the circles I run in.
Thanks for the reassurance about my answer. I was a bit worried.
Baby girl do I even NEEEEED to comment on this. How do you think I get the shit I do, through conservative means? I think not! Kudos to "porn" and all it entails. I'm sure later on "the guy" was..well...painting the walls white with the aid of porn HEY OH!
