Oh! Also, i used to work at a bookstore/coffee shop in a small suburb of montreal with a high volume of the crazies.
There was a guy that would come in a lot./.. i forget his name, so lets say Mark.
The first day he asked my name and told me his and said in a very intense voice " I like your hair colour". Now, i get coments on my hair a lot (since it's fairly bright copper) but hes tone was a bit creepy.
Next day he comes back and says "You look very pretty". Again, innocent enough, but his tone was too intense...
He then comes in every time i'm working for like a month or two and doesnt say anything excluding hello. Often times my friend from school is there (Zak) and we talk about class (we study theatre).
Then all of a sudden, one day in December he comes in, and asks me if i;ve ever done professional acting (i think he must have been eavesdropping on my conversations with Zak). I tell him i have, and i've done extra work etc. but dont do it anymore because i didnt find film sets to be a fun place and some actors are to hard to deal with. He then goes on in super speed about how to have to be nice to be sucessful like Brad Pitt And Jason Stateam. Then... here comes the kicker
Mark:-So! I really hate my girlfriend right now!
Me:... thats not good.
Mark: laughing, yea it's really bad!
Me: maybe you shouldn't date someone you hate...
Mark: So you wanna go to dinner tonight?
Me: uhhh... i have school till midnight (which was troe!)
Mark: well, any night!!!
Me: i have a boyfriend (which is also true)
Mark: oh..... i a boyfriend. ok. (pause) you're blushing.
me: no.
Mark: i guess i kind of put you on the spot.
me: no. im not blushing.
he never came back.
Or there was the music teacher!
This guys comes in last summer around 7 pm. It's actually busy in the store , im steaming milk for drinks and he asking me a million and one questions about last months issue of vogue. He says he's looking for an Ad featuring Timbaland. I tell him we sent back the magazines that didn't sell. He can try checking this month's issue. I make the drinks and then have an idea. I go over to tell him to try the library or just doing a google search online for the product +Timbaland.
He goes on and about how he's a music teacher and it's an add for music education and he wants to blow it up to put it in his class. I tell him he can try with a magazine print.
Guy:So can i buy you coffee (i work in a coffee shop)
Me: i dont drink coffee ( i walk away)
At this point he starts picking up books and laughing hysterically to himself a,d humming. He comes up the counter to show me that there's music in the book and he can read music because he's a music teacher.
I think thats when he realized that everyone in the store was staring at him... and he left.
