To the Luce Hostboy with the Attitude<\/i>:<\/p>\n

I ran in tonight, all flush with the success of finding a parking spot right out front! of Pizza Luce! In the warehouse district! and took a look around the restaurant before heading back up front to get a table. You trailed me up to the podium, asking, as if I was clueless and incapable of understanding the rules:<\/p>\n

\n

LHw\/A: Um, did you want a table?<\/p>\n

Me: Yeah… you didn’t see a couple girls come in, did you?<\/p>\n

LHw\/A: (Slowly, with a precise blend of derision and couldn’t-be-bothered-to-give-a-fuck) Um, there have been a lot<\/i> of girls in here tonight.<\/p>\n

Me: (Pausing to swallow anger) Right. Like, in the last five minutes. Whatever. There’ll be three of us.<\/div>\n

Maybe you’re bitter because someone forgot to tell you that the angry loner mystique wears off around 16 years of age, when most boys learn that a little enthusiasm goes a long way towards getting girls out of their pants and into yours. Maybe the menacing tattoos and dyed-black hair are supposed to make you look a lot more threatening than your scrawniness will allow. Maybe you’re getting mixed up about the distinction between ‘badass’ and ‘complete asshole’. Whatever the reason, your attitude totally sucked.<\/p>\n

It only took you a minute to realize it, though. You knew I was pissed, preferring the email on my phone to conversation with you while you set the table. Then you decided you’d be friendly.<\/p>\n

Dude, if you’re going to be an asshole, at least be consistent about it.<\/p>\n
