What pissed you off today?

OK so something happened the other day that kind of ticked me off, but amused me at the same time.

The other day I was sitting in the reception area of a car dealership, waiting as the oil was changed on my auto. An amiable gentleman in his 70s or early 80s strikes up a conversation with me; at first I enjoyed talking to him, as he reminded me of my dad--a wonderful man who passed away in 2006.

I got a bit uncomfortable about 10 minutes into the conversation, when he asked me repeatedly if I had a boyfriend and what I did for 'excitement.' I answered 'no' to the first question and 'writing' to the second query several times; finally he came right out and asked me for a date. I was a bit shocked as he had to be at least 35-40 years my senior, but I simply said, "Sorry, I date women."

"What?" The apparently hard of hearing gentleman asked.

"I DATE WOMEN!" I repeated, reddening as I realized that I had just informed the entire car dealership of my sexual orientation.

Without missing a beat he asks, "Have you ever been with a man? Have you ever had the experience?"

Like he could convert me or something. It kind of scares me that this guy was still driving....
