My roommate pulled a "Night at the Roxbury" moment:
he made a loud, obnoxious siren noise.
cute young woman asks, 'What IS that?'
roommate: "It's the ambulance coming to take me away, because the sight of you stopped my heart."
Ugh.
The stupid part is, it worked (they went out for about half a year). Maybe the key is to know that what you're doing is ridiculous, but that it's an opening to a conversation.

Heh. Well, it's true it's true!
Of course, when it *does* happen, I usually need someone else to point it out to me.

And yeah - cool pic, huh? It's actually a raven, and I was just..madly in love.

Which led to a horrid case of chirpes.

re: bird
It's not a really obvious thing. It's even sorta hard to guess size from a pic like that.

re: chirpes
A very very species specific form of herpes, of course.

It's like herpes, only it makes you break out into songs by Adam Duritz (which gives me a burning sensation, if no one else)

      Here's one I heard when I was sixteen and working at a restaurant. "What I want's not on the menu." Complete with a look that clarified any possible confusion, I was definitely the target of the comment. Just to clarify to anyone that's new, I am a guy. The person that said that was about sixty and also male. *shudder*

      Yeah, that was unpleasant. Though much older, I still was quite shocked when a guy in straight bar walked up to my friend and I and tried to pick us up, then when turned down flatly, offered me cash to "get freaky" with him. I was actually working that night (checking ID's at the door). So he didn't get hurt, though I was losing patience and my friend has long passed the point that he wished to do the guy harm. He had gotten pretty pissed when the gay guy felt him up. Of course then it was our job to make sure no one else hurt the guy, inside the bar at least.

      Oops, in keeping with the thread I should have posted his actual line. He actually just introduced himself, announced he was homosexual and asked what we were doing that night. When informed we weren't interested the dude actually palmed my friends upper chest as he said, "You, I mean damn!" to him. Then turned to me and says, "But you, you I'll pay to get freaky" and actually started to pull out his wallet. I changed from politely saying I wasn't interested to "Back off and go away" with body language saying that I was out of patience.

I don't know...a guy once actually asked me, "do you come here often?" *shakes head*

I also got, "What's your sign?" When I told him, "Neon," he just looked confused....*sigh*

Couldn't you eject him for inappropriate behavior?
