worst rejection ever!
worst rejection ever!
Union Hall
with a few friends after a night of hitting up other places all over Park Slope. My cousin was getting us all a round of whiskey shots, but after he bought them, our friend Dave didn’t want his. I looked around and there was a cute girl standing next to me at the bar so I asked her, “Hey my friend doesn’t want to take this shot, do you want to join us?” Her reply, “Why don’t you just take both shots, the result will be the same.”
It took me a few seconds to realize what she meant, but when it sunk in, OUCH! All she really had to do was say no, but she went the extra mile. I’ve never gotten a rejection like that before, it’s usually either just “no” or nothing, so this was definitely the worst ever!
Anyone else get a worse rejection? I’m thinking getting rejected on a marriage proposal would be way worse. Or on the altar if the bride says, “i’d rather not” instead of “i do”. I wonder if that’s ever happened.
************ EDIT ****************
Thanks for all the comments, I’ll try to get back to you in a bit. A few people have asked what she meant, so I’ll tell you what I think it was: She meant that whether she took the shot or not, she wasn’t going to give me the time of day. For the record, I was trying to think of a snappy comeback, but she left right after she said her line.
For those of you who expressed condolences, I thank you =), but don’t worry because I believe in (and at least try to follow) the idea in
this quote by Teddy Roosevelt
:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I’m too charming to be rejected.

I think that girl was just showing off her comeback skills.
Too bad she did so at the expense of a free drink! And some great conversation, I’m sure!
