Azn Fetish

Attention White Boys: GET OVER IT.

Talking to lil azn girlz about their horoscope signs - and WHITE horoscope signs, at that - is not a great way to pick up an azn chick. How could these dorks expect to compete with rice rockets and an engineering degree?

Context:

So I finally buy my cell phone from the local non-Bell Mobility store at the Eaton Centre. Plenty of azn guys work there, and I'm dealing with one, a guy who's been very patient with me all 20 times I visited and today when I finally committed to buying this phone.

White boy's been there each time too, but I always ignored him, because everyone knew that azn boy is helping me out.

Today, I'm at the counter, on hold with Bell for about 5 hours, and White Boy starts initiating conversation. First, he offers me some "Family Guy" (i.e. the TV show) version of spaz juice, which I decline. Then, once I'm off the phone with Bell, he starts by saying, "So, let me use my superpowers to tell you what sign you are." I'm too startled to object. His first guess: Aries. I said no. He said oh, his superpowers must not be working so well today. He asked me what my sign was. I told him to guess again, I would give him 3 more chances. He guessed 3 other signs that were wrong. Finally, I told him my sign, and he told me all these traits of that particular zodiac. I'm like, yeah, yeah - and I actually said to him, "So have you been reading a lot of Cosmo magazine or something?" You'd think he'd get the hint after that!!!

Meanwhile, the guy starts touching me - on my shoulder. Actual hand on shoulder with pressure & grip. Multiple times. In the context of, "Oh, you know, with your sign, [grip shoulder], you have a strong temper, but very loyal...blah blah blah." I'm like, how unprofessional is that???

Then he has to go through the whole ritual of, where am I from originally, oh, Chinese, you know, some people you can't tell and you don't want to offend the Korean guy by assuming he's Chinese....and where do I work, oh, doing HR, yeah, he knows some HR people and they just sit around and do nothing all day, blow people off and then hang out in the staff lounge and play computer games. Don't I agree that HR people don't do much work?

Blah blah blah....

DUDE...what's your problem? Does that work on white chicks? Cuz it don't work on lil azn girlz. Get over your fetish and go find some girls that you might actually be able to impress with your Cosmo magazine current events knowledge.

At least I got my phone...too bad the Chinese guy didn't hit on me instead. Does it mean he's gay if he's got a non-wedding ring on his ring finger?
