Yesterday I went to the DPS (that's what they call the DMV in Texas) to get my learner's permit renewed so I can take driving lessons again so I can get my driver's license. (The story associated with me not having my license yet is sort of long, but basically, I suck as a driver. lol.) Anyway, so I waited in the first line for about an hour and a half, and in the second line for about another hour and a half, all to do about ten minutes worth of stuff.
But that's not the point. The point is that while I was in both of these lines, there was this creepy Asian dude next to me. Our conversation pretty much went like this...
Him: "Hey, do you know how much it costs to get a license renewed?"
Me: "I think it's twenty-four dollars."
Him: "Can I borrow two dollars?"
Me: "Uh... yeah... I guess..."
Rummage through purse to find money.
Hand to him.
Silence.
Fifteen minutes later...Him: "Let me give you my phone number. So that I can come pay you back when you need your two dollars."
Me: "Oh, don't worry about it. It's just two bucks, you don't have to pay me back."
Him: "Here's my business card, just in case."
He hands me his business card.
Me: "Umm... thanks, I guess." Silence.
Five minutes later...Him: "Hey, why don't you give me your phone number? I can call you up as soon as I have your money again and come give it to you."
Me: "It's cool. I don't need it."
Rummage through purse to take out my papers and other info because I'm close to being next.
He notices my McGill ID.
Him: "Is that where you go to college?"
Me: "Yeah."
Him: "Where is it?"
Me: "Quebec."
Him: "Do you speak French?"
Me: "A little."
Him: "Have you ever been to Le Madeleine?"
Me: "Yeah."
Him: "Do you want to go there with me for lunch sometime?"
Me: "Uh... I'll ask my mom." (Thinking:
the only time uptight parents are good for anything is when you need to get away from a creeper like this dude. Eww.)
Silence.
Fifteen minutes later...Him: "So are you doing anything this weekend?"
Me: "I don't know... I'm busy though..."
Him: "You should come to the beach with me. I can totally come pick you up. Is Saturday good for you? Give me your phone number so I can call you."
I'm messing with my phone the entire time, texting my boyfriend, so I can't use the 'I don't have a phone' excuse. Gotta think fast...
Me: "My phone's broken, I'm getting a new number soon. This is my mom's phone, and she's pretty strict. I can't give you her number. But I have your business card, so I'll call you."
Him: "Okay... so is Saturday good for you?"
Me: "I'll ask my
boyfriend."
Huge emphasis on boyfriend.
Silence.
Thirty minutes later... We each get to a desk and do our own thing with renewing stuff. He's in front of me, so he goes first, and I assume that he's already gone by the time I'm finished. I walk outside, heading towards the bus stop. Out of nowhere, he's suddenly next to me.
Him: "Hey, so give me your number so I can call you about Saturday. And do you want a ride home?"
Me: "I have yours, I'll call you. Umm... I have to... to... pee!"
Run back inside the DPS and sit there for like half an hour, pretty much scared shitless.
Call a taxi.
End up spending more money to get back home than I did to get my learner's permit renewed.
Stupid scary creepy dude!!
Making me waste money. And scaring the crap out of me.
Oh yeah, one more thing - my boyfriend said I should have given him this number: 404-260-1318. It's the rejection hotline. I'm SO memorizing it for next time this happens.

You should have given him your boyfriend's phone number.
I was thinking the same thing as the first commenter, lol. Yikes, though; that was creepy. Plus extremely annoying. Even after he knew you were obviously trying to get rid of him he kept going at you.
Some guys recognize the rejection hotline number. I'm guessing this guy would know it. I've never had anyone ask me for my number in real life [thank goodness] so I can't tell you to suck it up and cuss him out, but that sounds quite scary. I've had it happen to me online though and it's much easier to deny them that way. Don't you wish online things could apply in real life?
Him: Hey can I have your number?
You: *block*
Sigh, if only...
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - LOL! Sounds like a great idea.
"...my phone's broken, I'm using my boyfriend's, I can give you that number if you want?"
Lol I love the rejection hotline.
lol; that's pretty creepy.. can't believe he made you spend more money..
i agree that you should have given him your boyfriend's number..and that is creepy i would have just been liek sorry i'm not interested like the first time around
Blehh what a creep! Thank god you had somewhere to run back to.
There is this creepy 40something year old dude who takes the same bus as me from my work. I responded to him talking to me at first like you did, until one day he told me basically if he hadn't been eavesdropping on a conversation I was having with a highschool buddy and heard me mention my boyfriend, he would have asked me out. Not only did that repulse me (think very short, fat, greasy 40 year old with an odd lump on his forehead) but he also told me previously that he lived with his parents. Yeah. CYA!
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - LOL omg if only life was that simple..
mm, wouldn't say multiple times that i'd call when you're not planning to..it somewhat encourages. guys like this are stupid..they don't get hints..like the boyfriend mention. blunt is the way to go! hope it doesn't happen again..
I had an asian dude follow me and my friends to my car late at night after i notice him watching me and my friends playing DDR and he played one game with my friend. After we left the game room he literally chased after us to our car....creepy
Lol. I have had to give the rejection hotline number to some people before.
poor guy... maybe he's just awkwardly persistent?
Creeeepy.
I've always wanted to know the rejection hotline number! I'm so calling it right now
you should have just given him your bf's number... I WOULD HAVE SO DONE THAT!!
you'd think he'd get the hint when you don't chatter along with him, eh?? UGH.......*shudder*
Wow, that's so creepy. O_o Why do some people have such a hard time at catching hints? Sheesh..
hahahaa,, what I do is either give my college's security number.. or like a really buff guy friends number that will make el stupid boy feel even dweebeier.. sorry bout that crappy line.
That reminds me of when I saw this angry looking Black dude trying to hit on this trashy White whore at Whole Foods... long story short, she gave him AIDS and they both died.
HAHA. Gawd, I wish there was a rejection hotline where I live.
Since you are so socially adept, why didn't you tell him plainly you had no interest? Your hints, that would be obvious to many, weren't getting the job done with him.
haha yes! The rejection hotline. =]
Never drop subtle hints to anyone. Tell them straight out. Your scaring me and I'll call the cops.
that is creepy.
would be even more scary is if he waited da whole day/evening outside of dmv from your "bathroom trip"
