Baritone Racist

We were at a bus stop. Every time an African-American would drive by she would say, “N*****” (said it like Ni-guh) in a deep voice.

— Arturo

Aftermath: I walked across the street and got on a bus going the opposite direction. I’m mixed-race.

I prepared a nice meal for my husband. He was hungry but also had to poop. So, he took his plate into the bathroom and ate it while he was pooping. To this day I cannot eat ham.

— Michelle

Aftermath: Divorce.

Knitting in Sin City

I took her on vacation to Las Vegas. She refused to do anything but sit in the room and knit. The gambling, drinking, and smoking depressed her. I don’t know what she was expecting.

— Stig

Aftermath: I broke up with her.

He went to Nicaragua and brought me a REAL petrified alligator leaning against a pole, lacquered and smoking a pipe.

Love Triangle

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:00:10 +0000

I went to her place for dinner. After listening to her trash her own ethnic group, another girl walked in dressed to kill. Was this going to be a double date ? No. I soon realized they were fighting because they had a date with each other.

— fastfreddie

Aftermath: Not knowing if she liked herself was enough but not knowing which sex she liked was too much.

We went to see “Titanic” and he cried more than I did. We went to see it a second time and before we went, he went to the grocery store to buy Kleenex.

— Becky

Aftermath: I married him and he cheated on me…I should’ve left after the movie.

Looking for Casual Encounters

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:41:51 +0000

I had met a beautiful woman online. We clicked and the sex was amazing. After a month, we were on our way to watch a meteor shower, and she hid from her ex-boyfriend’s friend because she didn’t want him to see us together.

— Jae

Aftermath: The next day I got an email from her saying she didn’t want to be together. She will text me randomly when she wants favors from me. Oh, and she doesn’t know I read her Craigslist ads for “Casual Encounters.”

Wooden leg or happy to see me?

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:02:41 +0000

I had been chatting with a guy on the internet. We decided to meet. Things got heated and “petting” started. Imagine my surprise when I reached over and found he was missing a leg. Thank goodness he was wearing his prosthetic. I think I would’ve mentioned that in a previous chat to save the shock at a heated moment.

— Shocked

Aftermath: We chatted a few more times and went our separate ways. NOT due to the missing appendage…lol

Too Much, Too Fast

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:08:02 +0000

A woman who was 7 years older started flirting with me at my band’s gigs. We went to a movie… once! Suddenly I’m getting cards in the mail with little hand-written messages like, “I think I’m in love!” After ONE MOVIE.

— mel

Aftermath: Six months later, she came to a gig with her NEW HUSBAND, whom she’d met 4 months earlier. Definitely dodged a bullet.
