He'd even send me creepy messages online, try to ask people for my phone number, look down my shirt if he felt so inclined, etc. I never gave him the time of day. He was also married and had a daughter with a wife whose self esteem was so destroyed by his behavior around other women that she completely shut down emotionally. He always talked shit about her, saying that she was ugly and frigid.

He saw that he was getting nowhere with me, so he slept with another one of my coworkers. He got her pregnant. She carried the child to full term. I don't know if they ever talk to one another anymore, but the grossest part of this entire story is that this guy has been seeing this other chick I used to work with (at a different store) for a couple years now.

Workplace creeps... ugh.

I met and started dating my wife while we worked together at a nursing home. She worked in the kitchen and I was maintenance. One of my perks was getting a free meal which she'd put together for me. We'd sit in the kitchen and talk and that's how it all started almost 35 years ago.

^that's what i'm saying. think about it you spend most of your time at this place cause you have to be there. why wouldn't you be on the prowl during that time if you're single.

Met my wife working at a pizza place 30 years ago and still going strong. Good way to really get to know someone.

I met one of my exes at work, years ago. We almost got married.

But...

Spoiler for here's why we didn't:
he was in and out of jail because he was busted for some ... questionable...materials on his computer.
his fetishes were way too fucked up.
his taste in music was awful.
he was really immature.
he was so socially awkward at times that it was painful to be out with him.
despite being a pretty nice guy, he could have killed me in cold blood and not felt bad about it.
he had to go away for special therapy and brought home a male escort one night.
99% sure I would have caught something from him eventually.


almost 5 years later, his mother seems to think there's a chance I'll change my mind.

yeah, we got to know each other.

and it was a fucking disaster.

Yeah, his new one (which I'm actually pretty sure is an old one) isn't nearly as good.

Sorry man. The Cobain/kitty avatar was growing stale. It's not bad by any means, but I needed something new.

You go over to your friends house and sit there in the dark and silence while they sleep for the rest of the day
