Even More Obnoxious In Person

I went to a big fundraiser over the weekend.  A guy came up to me and didn't say hello or any other standard niceties.  Instead, he launched into "Where do you work and what do you do there?"  Yes, I found this to be even more obnoxious in person than over OkC messages. 

He was looking for a job!  Found out from a friend.  Sorry, I don't like it when people ask me for a job when I am in black tie attire on a weekend evening and barely know who I am speaking to.  I didn't answer his questions and just said, "Oh, I see my friend" and walked away.

  1. How annoying. Luckily, I'm a firefighter, so when I tell guys that, it usually shuts them up if they are looking for anything business related. Of course it can work against me too: guys with "normal" jobs sometimes don't want to date me because I'm gone so much.
