Love: Better Call Small

Better Call Small

By not-so-young-shortie - 18/02/2009 22:57 - United States

Today, I was eating at a restaurant with my boyfriend. He's 6'2 and I'm 4'11. Out of nowhere, the hostess started openly flirting with him, and asked him if he needed a booster chair for his daughter. FML

Today, I was working as a host at a pasta diner. The hostess I was working with was very attractive and we were flirting quite a bit. A large woman walked in to be seated, and I leaned over to her and dared her to ask the woman if she wanted two chairs. She leaned back and said, "That's my mom." FML

Pleased to meet you

Today, I went to a restaurant with some friends. I noticed a very cute waitress about my age, so I walked over to her and asked if she had a boyfriend. The extremely fit, attractive waiter standing next to her immediately turned, held out his hand and goes, "Yeah. Meet me." FML

Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML

Choked

Today, I went out to eat with friends. My crush was also at the restaurant with his friends. He smiled at me as I took a mouthful of food, and I choked. The waitress had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me, while he and his friends fell off their chairs laughing. FML

Today, I was out to dinner with a friend I had a crush on. The whole time, he was flirting with the waitress while I was trying to get him to notice me. When we got the check, he looked at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend, I only go out with pretty girls. So, can I have your number?" FML

Today, I was at lunch with my girlfriend. The waitress came up and asked for her number, then asked if she had a significant other. I laughed as my girlfriend gave the waitress her number. They're going on a date, tonight. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I went on a date. I went to the bathroom. When I came back, she was sitting at a different table flirting with a guy that looked twice as old as her. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

He loves you. Ask yourself this. He is handsome enough for people to randomly flirt with. He is with you. This means you are very worth his time and his love. Be proud. Height is irrelevant.

I put "you deserved it" mainly because I used to be that short in high school. All the girls my height were taken by 6+ footers. It left nothing for the short guys. That's just creepy. He deserves to get that thrown in his face that he's dating a girl way too short for him.

Very true, Monkey. I spit on personality! Douchbags of the proper height are always better than those bitches who care for you regardless of appearance! Loving bastards...

okayy first...why is everyone downing short people? I, in fact, wish I was 4'11". I've wanted to be shorter than I actually am my whole life. I think it's a sign of beauty. besides she can't help that she's so small. and tall guys like the fact that their woman has to look up to them. it makes them feel more like a man. it was indeed unfortunate that the waitress did that tho. you should have looked at your man and said "Do you think I need a booster seat, baby?" and shut her ass up.

I agree with you #20 I am taller than my boyfriend, and have always wanted to be shorter

You're right. No guys like it when their girlfriend is taller. It's a huge embarrassment.

Employees who assume they know relations between people and speak openly as if there's no doubt that they are correct piss me off. It's rude. I don't care if you're trying to be friendly. When you work with customers, you never assume they are siblings, dating, married, child/parent, or anything like that. It's presumptuous and rude. Even if they're correct in their assumption, I don't want STRABGERS analyzing the relationships I have with other people. If you want to make sure, ask, or better yet, if you insist on small talk, don't let your small talk rely on assumptions.
