Flattering, but strange.

Yesterday I was terribly bored at work – I was at the checkout upstairs that gets about a quarter of the business of the downstairs one. I’m standing there staring at nothing when a dude walks up and says “I have a bit of an odd question.”

He proceeds to tell me that he’s been dared to challenge a pretty girl to an arm wrestling match, and that I don’t have to say yes. But I said yes, anyway. So we arm wrestled. Apparently he was left-handed, so we went righty first. I told him he didn’t have to let me win, but I’m pretty sure he did anyway, because I managed to win both left- and right-handed. He managed to compliment me about three more times during our exchange, but then the dude didn’t even ask me my name (granted, I was wearing a name tag) and didn’t even bother telling me his. He said his friends might come in and ask me about it, to make sure he actually did it, cuz he forgot to bring a camera with him.

I was pretty flattered, at the time. But then there wasn’t any follow up. And that was pretty lame on his part.
