Story time, kids.
Dec. 27th, 2008 01:32 pmDay six. just me dorking out in an unnecessarily long story:
Alright, so, went shopping at Barnes & Nobles, because most of my relatives only know that I like books and got me 352 gift cards. And. There's a single aisle for manga/comic books, with manga on one side and comic books on the other. Not very popular stuff at all, so for about ten minutes, it was just me and this other guy, maybe 18-20 year old, browsing through stuff. Toward the end, a thirty-forty year old guy comes along, also looking at comic books.
And then the 18-year-old's sister, or girlfriend, or something, came by, and started yelling at him about how she wasn't going to let him have any comic books, how they weren't real books, how they were a waste of his time and life, etc. The guy just stands there taking it, looking like a kicked puppy at his ten-dollar copy of Captain America (which he'd spent at least ten minutes reading), being all moe and shit and. Well, I was trying not to laugh. The girl was getting seriously pissed, actually started dragging him out of the aisle, but then thirty-forty-year-old started muttering "don't listen to her, don't listen to her," right next to me, and so me and him just started talking (kinda loudly, hur) about how comic books were better, how half of the movies out were based on them, so on, so on. It was just hilarious, because there was dramaaa and the older guy and me were watching to see what the guy would do like it was a sports game.
The guy ended up putting it back ("he listened to her. DX" /30 year old). ): We shook our heads at the guy, aaaw'd and acted all disappointed. The girl was so close to flipping us off, but it was worth it.
Lesson of the day: If your Significant Other can't accept that you like comic books, dump his/her ass, because random strangers will scoff at you for being whipped. C:
