So I'm bored and something weird happened to me again, and I kinda feel like both sharing and hearing other people's stories, now these stories are meant to be kind of silly but whatever is fine.
I was on my way home from buying some cookware like pans and stuff, and a lot of food, so I'm carrying all this stuff which is fairly heavy and a taxi stops and starts yelling at me to get over there, my reaction is simply to tell him no, because I didn't want to spend money on a cab, otherwise I would have done so from the beginning and he's like:
-Don't worry, it's a free ride I'm off shift and I'm heading in that direction anyway.
So I of course just tell him, -No, thanks it's fine I can walk there no problem.
So the guy just asks me -Are you dumb or something? I'm heading there anyway.
So I think about it for a moment and I answer -Ok, thanks a lot.
So after some regular small talk we arrive to my department and he asks- Hey do you want to go eat something, my treat.
So of course I'm reluctant to the idea but due to insistence and a good helping of feeling rather indebted to him for giving me a free ride, I agree.
So you know, we hang out for a bit he gets a 12-pack and for some reason we are suddenly at his place listening to music and stuff, and at this point I'm very confused because the guy doesn't really want to talk much, I'm not much of a talker but I was trying very hard to find topics of conversation, so of course naturally a thing pops to my head and I say rather nervously.
-This kind of reminds me of the Tarantino film Pulp Fiction.
And he just kind off dismisses it probably not knowing what Pulp Fiction is, so I start looking around the place in a way that indicates very clearly that I seem super suspicious, so he asks me:
-What are you looking for?
I answer -Uh... nothing just you know whatever it is you are going to use to kill me.
He simply laughs and I say. -You know this is kind off weird, why did you invite a complete stranger house, is it something you do often?
He replies in a kind off strange tone. -No, you're the first.
So after that I'm completely puzzled about the whole situation and I just can't figure out the situation and again the only thing I can think off is Pulp Fiction so I'm almost sure the guy is going to kill me so I raise my voice a little and I ask him in as serious a tone as is phonetically possible.
-Ok, what is going on here? You obviously want something out of me and I just can't figure it out so I'm just going to ask you, what do you want, what is the reason you wanted me to come here?
And he replies - Oh you know I brought you here to do anything- He reaches for my hand and softly caresses it- You know I'm willing to do anything that you want to do.
My eyes widen and I just immediately say - Oh! So that's what's going on- And I just start thinking of all of the hints of his actually super obvious flirting and suddenly it becomes very clear and I realise, that I'm in his house, having a drink with him, and I suddenly get super tense and just say - I'm not comfortable with this, I think I have to go.
And he replies -No, no it's fine just sit down and have a beer.- And I immediately answer no it's fine I don't want to drink.-
And he replies -That's fine you don't have to just sit down.
To which I answer -No thanks, I'm just going now.
And he replies - At least let me give you a ride.-
And after looking at the obviously somewhat drunk guy I say -No it's fine, I can walk there no problem.
And the guy just insists, slowly getting louder, until eventually he demands that I sit down.
At that point I simply just reply to him - I'm going now.- and I walk away, as I walk away I can hear him yelling at me to not go but I keep walking and just head home.
And as I walk home I simply feel a strange combination of being super creeped out, a bit scared, and a lot of pity for the guy, because sure it was creepy and scary, but it was me that was too stupid to read the situation properly and was never really able to grasp the quite frankly obvious context of his actions, and I kinda feel like I ruined his day and like somehow I led him on even if I was completely unaware of it, but mostly I'm really creeped out and feel super stupid.
So the moral of the story is, despite the fact the last time you decided to listen to a complete stranger that insisted on you accompanying him led to joining a super awesome table-top club and you were able to make lots of friends, that doesn't mean you should hang-out with every stranger ever, and they probably want to fuck you or kill you, or both in both possible orders or even one, then the other one and then the first one again.
To be honest this mostly happened because I have a lot of friends now and get along with my work-mates really well so I kinda forgot that I'm completely and absolutely socially inept and am absolutely awful at understanding innuendo, in the past something like this wouldn't have happened because I would have just panicked and said no immediately instead of carrying on thinking I would make yet-another weird friend.
