A funny thing happened to me today in the Taco Bell drive-thru. I had just finished my final assignment before fall break, and had dropped it off at the prof's office. It was about 8:30 and I was rewarding myself by buying supper at Taco Bell.
As I pulled into the drive-thru, I noticed that the car ahead of me was a pick-up truck from Michigan, and the guy in it wasn't bad looking. No one in the passenger seat. All good signs. I rolled down my window and ordered.
Pulling around the corner to wait for the nice TB people to take my money and produce my Mexican pizza, I looked at the guy in his side mirror. He was looking back at me (always an awkward moment) so I glanced away and suddenly, blaring out of the truck came the strains of a heavy metal song. It was so loud that I whipped back around to look at the guy again. Still looking back at me. I'm thinking, is he trying to impress me with his music? Cause I like music, but not this screaming-into-the-microphone stuff. Then I catch a few words, "You have a beautiful face..." Awh!, I think. By now I am totally convinced that he's playing this song for me (I was perhaps delusional from hunger). He's still looking back at me in his side mirror.
The "musician" (in quotation marks to indicate my generosity in using this term for this particular person) continues on and the next word I can make out is the f-bomb. Woah, uh, not really into that...I'm suddenly NOT impressed. The cursing screamer has cancelled out the pick-up, the midwestern roots, the cute guy, and the beautiful face comment. All gone in a flash of profanity.
I rolled up my window, looked away and turned up my own music. Tim McGraw drowned out the cursing screamer and I drove off to enjoy my low-quality Mexican-American fast food.

i was just thinking about this the other day. When I guys wants to show he's interested, somehow reason goes out the window. What is it about guys that makes them think we're into revving engines, squealing tires and blaring music? The only women they are going to get that way aren't really going to like THEM anyway, just their vehicle or the rest of their possession. GUYS,here's some well needed advice....we don't really like that. Be kind, sweet, romantic. You'll have far more success than loud trucks and curse words:)
