The guy must have noticed the expression on my face, becuase the interview nose-dived from there.
The other apartment in our split house had been up for rent for a month or two after the last tenants moved out. He comes by to clean up the place, and we get to talking.
I ask how the search for new renters was going, and he said there had been people looking, but (out of nowhere) "I won't rent to black people. They'll bring all their friends over and have parties." I said something like, "wait... what?" and he replied "I don't like n*ggers.... I'm a racist."
This is in LONG BEACH, a hugely diverse city, and he has a hispanic wife. As racist as some of the people I've met are, I've never ever had any of them calmly say "I'm a racist." Completely surreal.
So I was getting heated and he said it was because he's a vet and had some bad war experiences, and he didn't hate black people, just n*ggers (?).
I said I don't care, even if you are my landlord. Keep that OUT OF my house. I said it reminded me of how people made jokes and generalizations about poles (because I am part polish and went to poland on a roots style journey) and he was like, "oh, I'd never say anything bad about the polish." Okay... but...??? Missing the larger picture here.
Anyhow my wife had to intervene, I walked away and haven't dealt with him more than I have to since.
indeed.
classic.
Or... is it?
Still looking for the problem with this...
Nope.
well, it left me speechless.
that shit just wasnt sexy to me.
was it from her 3rd nipple or something?
two old retired couples are playing bridge together. The ladies go into the kitchen to make some sandwiches and the one old man says to the other, "It Mabel's birthday this saturday and I want to take her to a nice restaurant." The second man says "Oh, we went to a beautiful restaurant last week, but I just can't remember the name of it...What is the name of that flower, you know the one that's red and has thorns?" And the first man says, "You mean a rose?" And the second guy says, "Yeah, thats it ... HEY ROSE, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT RESTUARANT WE WENT TO LAST WEEK?!!?!!"
He used to be really into chastising others about thier S.U.Vs or trucks for destroying the planet. That is untill he went and bought himself a new Honda Pickup Truck. Which no one even knew he had because for the first few weeks he had it, he parked down the street so no one would see him driving it. So he finally started parking it in our lot and someone called him on it and now he feels the need to justify it/himself to everyone in the office and today was my turn. The dude is such a nutjob that these conversations always veer off into his rants about how illegal imigration is also to blame for global warming (this is a not too uncommon position around here).
Does he use his gas-guzzling vehicle to truck around illegal immigrants or something??
I beleive the problem is that the newer illegal immigrants aren't hybrids yet and therefore pollute just as much as the old ones did.
Have you brought up the idea of carbon immigrant trading?
The guy went on and on and I thought he was drunk, but he totally wasn't. Right before he left he was all pissed that he hadn't had anything to drink yet. Not even lying, he kept saying "Git-r-dun" every other sentence. WOW
Another more lighter one, hearing my supervisor and a friend come into the store and they just keep saying "yep" and "uh huh" after each other would say something. Its like the conversation was going nowhere, I couldn't stop laughing. It was like something out of King of the Hill.
We later discover that homeboy is driving in the left lane! And we explain that you can only pass on the right. He then claims that he doesnt care, it is his right to be there, and that he wont move purely out of spite.
At this point the whole office is in total disbelief and beside themselves in anger, because here we were, having a converstation with THAT guy. The same guy we have all encountered on the highway, and here he was telling us 'I dont care'.
...I'd really hate to know what ends up in his coffee over the next few weeks.
THAT GUY!
He is why we can't have an autobahn in America.
Perchance did the interview proceed to nosedive because you were literally struck dumb (in keeping with the thread's title) by the interviewer's comments?!

Dude, I fuckin' hate THAT GUY, and I'm not even a particularly fast driver.
my eyes got wide and my mouth opened up and when it was my turn to talk I dont even know what i said. I mean first it was pretty offensive, what if i had been an unatainable latina goddess? Second, i would rather not be looked upon by the partners as a day laborer.
Yeah, cuz it's so creepy when breasts do what they're evolved over a millenia to do. Doesn't that moron realize breasts aren't for milk? They're for men's viewing pleasure - which, for some reason, milk interferes with. Yeah.
