Really? Was that necessary?

I was leaving work today and approaching the elevator when a couple and another woman were ahead of me. The woman was waiting at the elevator and had a dolly with a bunch of stuff on it. The couple split apart (just co-workers it seems) and the guy stands behind the woman and just watches her. I don't think she noticed, but women have that damn third eye in the back of their head so you never know. Damn digressions, they get me every time.

Anyway, we were standing there for like three seconds. The elevator opens up and the three of us get in. The guy leans over and tells her, "Looks like you have a bunch of stuff there." She gives him this look and then says, "Yeah, I got a lot of stuff here. You can see that I have a lot of stuff. Hell, even that guy can see I have a lot of stuff."

Her floor arrives, and she grabs her stuff and walks out. Leaving just me and the guy in the elevator. Awkward.... I smirk and then get off when my floor arrives. Leaving the poor SOB in the elevator to contemplate what just went down.

Ouch. I'm sure she felt that he was hitting on her. He probably was, but he could have just been making small talk. You never know. Even if he was hitting on her, was that response necessary? She embarrassed the hell out of the guy. And then to try to pull me into their little "lover's squabble" was not necessary. Some people can be real assholes at times.

One thing I know for sure is that will be the last time that guy uses that line.
