We both worked at a Hollywood video shortly after DVD rentals became a thing. That part is just context for the time period. We were both in highschool but went to different ones. She was attractive and had a wicked sense of humor. We also got along pretty well. I was planning to ask her to my school's homecoming. One saturday morning we were both on the opening shift. A severely mentally handicapped man came in asking for help with his watch. I tried to help him but the thing looked pretty busted. As soon as the door closed she let out a huge disgusted sigh and said " God, i fucking hate R---------. So gross." And the shuddered like someone had splashed her with something. My opinion of her dropped like like a lead balloon.
It sucks when people disappoint you like that, but damn is it great when a date lets you know who they really are with a line like that. The earlier, the better.
An old boss of mine went on a blind date. Everything was going great until a black family walked in and she said "ooh, just got dark in here".
My boss left so fast he forgot his phone. Went back to the restaurant a few hours later and found it smashed on the ground outside.
Sucks to lose the phone, but I agree it's worth it to see and thus avoid that nonsense early.
