So, there i am on the miami to cali route. The flight is relatively unoccupied and im feeling relatively relaxed. My 1.88 tall metre frame is not having to withstand the reclining seat in front as no one is sitting there. Great, not so hemmed in this time im thinking. Then crash.......all of a sudden some complete muppet has decided to move seat in the middle of the flight......he could have gone anywhere, sat anywhere else but he decides to crash his fat arse in front of me and reclines the seat....what ? , why ? hes actually annoyed me. i think to say to him " why?" but he is more involved with his IPOD and stupidly overt, large headphones and shuffling in his seat.
Cursing, i forget it and think about moving myself but i decide im over reacting a bit, maybe because ive been travelling for nearly a day and im over tired.
So, we depart the flight and as we are getting off he starts.
"hey, Gee, where u from ?"
me " er, well......"
him" you are one of us....i could see"
me" but you are american right ? and well, im english so it means im not one of........"
interrupts " hell, we are the same, im from there as well....."
me" but you have a strong american accent.....how ?"
him" how ? jesus, we came from there , hastings"
me" what ? but........."
him" 100 years ago we got booted from there, im protestant"
me" right, well, great."
Im moving quicker now. i notice his face is red, bulbous nose........damm ugly overweight muppet i conclude. Hes loud, too loud.
I keep moving....he moves quicker......ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH
then he starts again.
" what you here for ? sex, drugs, women , right ?"
" well, actually , im just here for my novia....im not really into Cali, dont really like the place" ( which is the truth)
him" you dont like it ? girls man, have what you want, hell they are easy, its free here, free sex"
AT THIS POINT IM THINKING, IS THIS THE ELMO CHARACTER FROM POOR BUT HAPPY.
he continues " im married , cali girl, but she is cool .....i can have who i want....we have THAT kind of relationship, you know"
At that point i just bolted. I was tired, he was a muppet and i pityed the poor woman who he climbs onto from time to time inbetween all his other activities. LOSER...

Let me guess.. uuhhhmmm, thinking, thinking, got it: cheap white trainers (sneakers), blue 'walmart' jeans, a white t-shirt or woolie top, carrying a camara? I think I have seen him lots of times in Central London, not looking for women cos they sure aint f**cking free here... I think he was looking for Leicester Sq... I sent him to Grovernor Square instead (where the American embassy is) and where he belongs,

gringolondinense says on Mar 9, 2007, 06:01: i was in a similar situation once.... i was sitting on the bus, about halfway along. Suddenly, the bus sways to one side. Then I hear an american accent. A "man" in a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts, white socks and trainers, sweating profusely and talking really loudly is trying to get up the 3 stairs of the bus. Hes grabbing the rails and huffing and puffing. He can barely get on the bus. Once he's finally on, he has to squeeze sideways and wedge himself into a seat, just behind me. He starts saying things like "oh mannn the women here are sluts. You can do whatever you like here...even roll around in the street if you want..." blah blah. So I get up and move to the front of the bus.

utopiacowboy says on Mar 9, 2007, 06:27: This reminds me of the classic gringo I met at the US embassy trying to get his very young "fiancee" a visa. He was paunchy, pasty and balding. He had to be in his late 50s or early 60s while she was in her young 20s. He kept talking to me in English and I would reply in Spanish. They had to come back to the embassy four times to get the visa but if it were me, I would never have given it to him if he had come back 500 times. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

kat1 (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Mar 9, 2007, 06:39: If I was employed at the embassy I made him to come 500 times but every appointment within a year interval, this way, his fiancee would be old enough and mature for him, if he is still around :)))
