I showed major RESTRAINT today!!
 

So I went to my bank today and it was empty there save for 2 girls behind the counter and the manager on the floor. They all know me there... and it's always friendly, chit chat, etc.

Anyway... both girls are looking at me and I hesitate for a second thinking which one do I go to, they are both about 10 feet away. One is attractive, the other not so much. Then they both say "pick me, pick me!" and the manager steps over and she half jokingly says "how about I flip a coin"... and she points at the semi hottie and says "you get heads with her" and then points to the semi NOTtie and says,"you get tails with her."

Oh. My. Goodness.

For those of you that know me... I'll shamelessly comment on just about anything if I have an audience in front of me and the opportunity for a laugh or uncomfortable embarrassment from someone. Not to mention I'm trying to get out of convention mode this week so I still have a stockpile of smartass and sexually harrassing replies.

But damn... this is my bank.

Needless to say the first thing that popped in my mind was, "Ya know... I would actually prefer heads from HER and then some tails from HER."

But I bit my tongue and resisted the urge and instead smirked and said "No comment."

And sadly, I don't think the sexual innuendo registered with any of them!

lol...i like the story
I would have said NO..time for the manager to do some work Ill take YOU.

LOL man that would be a tough one. Surprised that you manage to hold back.

LAJ shows restraint?

Damn mate, that is your status quo in my experience.

You a FAR better man than me when it comes to holding your temper and/or tongue !

San Diego memories of your amazing patience and diplomacy come to mind....

;-)

Hopefully your restraint will pay interest in the long run...

So therapy really does work!

Lol..the dude wasn't thinking when he said that

whats dis word "chit chat" ?

I got fired from old job for talking shiiet about the manager...right in front of her ...shiiiiet

Texas girls are hottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. Jessica Simpsonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You have much better restraint than I!

Ahhhhhhh.... Thanks CTB.

Well ya know... when it comes to tricky situations and I'm surrounded by my peers, I do try to choose my battles wisely and take the course of action that will best benefit me in the short AND long run.

But hey... I don't think you saw me blow my stack at that show in front of a select group of people lol.

I was part of the "select group" mate ;-)

I suppose I was more referring to my behaviour vs. yours ;-)

I blew my stack at the front desk, in the foyer, to room service, in the restaurant...

Luckily I also did same with security, but I got them over to the "dark" side pretty quick.

:winkwink::thumbsup:1orglaugh:pimp

Your work was outstanding under extremely difficult circumstances.

;-)

:1orglaugh

lol i lold

I was in the middle of reading this and was thinking about how I would have probably thought of saying the exact same comment as you... except for... its the bank.

ChinoJ thinks you have a nice bank...

Knowing you, this took more power than one could possibly imagine.

Thanks again man :)

Well I tell ya... the staff knew I was pissed at them from the get go (more about the situation than anything) and I let them know my position upon arrival before everyone else got there.

The management got our wrath in the form of a lawsuit... so that was in the back of my mind the whole time and any missteps could have seriously fucked things up... especially for Fay and Dave.

That which doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger (and grayer ;))

That's 2 words...

The hottie in my bank moved to Sydney last spring. :(

Soo.. what bank is that? :1orglaugh

samurai strength there man...I don't think I could have shown as much restraint...

fuck that man, you can't miss an opportunity like that. there are other branches. I say you should have gone for it.

haha
she opened the door, you should have said it!

Ahh man... ya know... I'm actually feeling guilt today :(

I think I'm disappointed in myself. I know i've disappointed you guys and that just ain't right.

FWIW... I'll more than try to make up for this at cybernet expo... just need to put myself in situations that will allow for shameless opportunities...

So, which one did you get? The hottie or the not so hot??

way to go dude

Coming from the master himself.

But he has a point Jay.

Well dude... Given that I'm the eternal nice diplomat guy... I went with the unattractive one and looked at the hottie and said that she gets me next time and I don't care if there is a line out the door. There is plenty of me to go around.

They liked that answer.

OH IM sure they took it into context, but good thing you held back lol

holy shit man..I gotta remember that one..lol

good. best way to play it.
