OK anons I have to tell this story because someone has to hear it.
Set the stage: Crazy progressive girl at work who has admitted she wants to go out with me. Me: lol no.
Anyway we happen to leave work at the same time, and walk in the same direction. We start chatting and I obviously really don't want to talk to her because what good is going to come out of this conversation? Anyway, we are in a city with a lot of traffic lights. The light in front of us is about to change, and the light is long. I hate missing this light because of how long it takes to wait. I literally tell her I'm going to run to catch the light, and just leave her behind.
It takes me to just now to realize how rude that was, and now I feel bad, while at the same time laugh at the absurdity.
Now I can't stop thinking of how this looked from her perspective, and I don't know if I should feel bad or laugh harder.
