Sure I do, stupid

When people say ridiculously stupid things it is sometimes hard to be tolerant and patient. I have a tendency to react with no thought for how abrasive the resulting conversation might seem. This lady spoke to me at a bar and the following unfolded;

Lady: “You look like that guy out of that vampire movie, have you seen that movie?”

Conversational Expert: “No. You look like this chick I saw in a porno that I watched this morning. I really enjoyed it. (Grin) “

Lucky not to get slapped, smug grin when watching for reaction probably did not do me any favors either. I did enjoy the humorous awkward pause as she decided that she no longer wanted to talk to the guy that “looked like” someone famous. She even decided that she no longer wanted to stand near me, nor did she feel like she needed a drink anymore. I did not see her again all night in the bar. I do wonder why people say stupid things then are surprised when someone does not swallow it.
