Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Same thing different taste

You should have follow up with: "I meant: how about we both get off the bus now and I'll take you back to my place, for some hot, steamy...broccoli. And more." That always works for me.

Time to turn up your hearing aid.

But he didn't NOT hear her, he just heard a different question.

Ouch, that totally blows!

Why would she need to ask if someone was sitting there? Wouldn't she be able to see that?

Always answer "please" and gesture to the seat. Add a flirty smile, just in case ;)

dont worry mate you'll get other opportunities with other girls just pay attention next time a cute girl talks to u lol

you may have just lost the one girl who would want to date a deaf guy

Easy solution: get in the business of saying "pardon me?" more. None of this "oh woe is me" stuff. Life hands you a problem, you work around it.

Why didn't u just politely ask her to repeat what she said dumbass

A simple "go ahead" would work in either situation..
