I don't think I heard this story! Please tell.
AND I'LL BE THERE NEXT WEEK! Monday through Thursday. It will probably be the last time for a while.
oh so, a grad school friend was in town. It was like some random Tuesday night and we were meeting up for drinks at The 4 Seasons at 9:30. I came home from work, changed out of my suit into jeans and a cardigan (because I am a wanton strumpet) and called a cab. Here is how the conversation went.
Me: Hi
Cabbie: Hi. Where to?
Me: The 4 Seasons
Cabbie: The 4 Seasons on Market?
Me: Yep, there's only one.
Cabbie: Oh. Okay. So how's yer night? Busy?
Me: (clueless) ummm no not really.
Cabbie: Oh not busy. Oh that's too bad. So whatcha doing?
Me: (thinking cabbie is oddly friendly) just meeting a friend for a drink. really looking forward to it.
Cabbie: Oh meeting a friend. So that sounds kind of busy.
Me: (gosh he's weird) no, not really
Cabbie: So it's not a busy night?
Me: (the clouds part and I start to laugh hysterically) Ohhhh. Um, I am not a hooker
Cabbie: Oh good. You seemed like a nice girl. I was going to ask if you wanted me to wait for you.
Me: (still laughing) No that's okay. I am meeting a friend from grad school. for a drink. really.

Mod walks into the bar at hotel and sees her friend Joe and screeches "OMG Joe the cabbie thought I was a HOOKER. AWESOME"
Joe laughs. Bartender looks mortified. Real hookers in the bar quickly look down and to their left.
****
Mod logs onto knot the next day to tell this story and a whole bunch of lurkers are horrified I found this so funny and oddly judgmental and decide I must have been wearing hoochie makeup and looked like a trollop in my floral print CARDIGAN.
****
so baby, want to have a drink next week?

Hahaha, that's awesome! Yes, I want to have a drink. I charge by the hour though, FYI.
My situation went more like this:
Get in elevator with middle aged dude who proceeds to stand really close to me. I press the button for the VIP floor (because I've finally gotten gold status *FUCKYEAH!*)
Stalker: VIP, eh? You must be someone special. (unbuttons top button of shirt)
Badger: HAha, not special. It took me long enough to get to VIP though.
Stalker: Yeah, I bet. (moves closer). So you'll be staying all night?
Badger: No, I'm here for a few days for work.
Stalker: But you live in San Diego, right? Just meeting a client here? (moves even closer)
Badger: Uh, no. I'm from the midwest.
Stalker: (confused look)
Badger: OOOOOOOHHHH!!!! No, I'm an engineer.
Stalker: (sad look)
Elevator doors open. End scene.
ewww both creepy and flattering.
at least my cab driver was looking out for my safety and hoping I made good money.
one of my more worldly friends informed me that "the girlfriend experience" is all the rage. so evidently chubby and cardigans work for some guys. who knew?

I'm here, but you're gone.
I think on ML the other day they were reassuring someone she couldn't be mistaken for a prostitute because she had a cardigan. I guess ML isn't up on current hooker trends.
We had dinner at my mom's tonight. Thank god she gave me some gardening articles to look at, so I was spared having to respond to her tales of Medical Intuitives. And how one "Ivy trained engineer" was saved from narcolepsy because a Medical Intuitive helped her see that her illness was actually caused from her shutting down her emotions. Although the memory of Mr M's strained "That's... really... incredible" will have me giggling for days.
We really need to hook up my mom and Crazy Carpool Says.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Like, literally, incredible. Good choice of words, Mr. M. I would have also accepted "unbelievable" or "inconceivable".
