  • worst rejection ever!

    So last weekend I was at Union Hall with a few friends after a night of hitting up other places all over Park Slope. My cousin was getting us all a round of whiskey shots, but after he bought them, our friend Dave didn’t want his. I looked around and there was a cute girl standing next to me at the bar so I asked her, “Hey my friend doesn’t want to take this shot, do you want to join us?” Her reply, “Why don’t you just take both shots, the result will be the same.” 

    It took me a few seconds to realize what she meant, but when it sunk in, OUCH! All she really had to do was say no, but she went the extra mile. I’ve never gotten a rejection like that before, it’s usually either just “no” or nothing, so this was definitely the worst ever!

    Anyone else get a worse rejection? I’m thinking getting rejected on a marriage proposal would be way worse. Or on the altar if the bride says, “i’d rather not” instead of “i do”. I wonder if that’s ever happened.

    ************ EDIT ****************
    Thanks for all the comments, I’ll try to get back to you in a bit. A few people have asked what she meant, so I’ll tell you what I think it was: She meant that whether she took the shot or not, she wasn’t going to give me the time of day. For the record, I was trying to think of a snappy comeback, but she left right after she said her line.

    For those of you who expressed condolences, I thank you =), but don’t worry because I believe in (and at least try to follow) the idea in this quote by Teddy Roosevelt:

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
    strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
    better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
    whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
    valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is
    no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
    to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who
    spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
    triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at
    least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with
    those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

  • Wowza….that is brutal…hahaha….funny though…

  • HAHAH HEEHEE!

  • Ouch……!!!

  • daaang that’s brutal!

  • awww…rejections

  • I think at the altar…

    That would pretty much stink.

  • You’ve been featured!

  • wicked burn, that was rude!

  • that was uncalled for!
    what a meanie.

  • Oooooh, you want some ice for that burn?

    (:

  • that is a good one. I should use it sometime. Not on you though. You are cute.

  • She’s eeeevil lol. You were even polite to her and she couldn’t simply say, “No, thank you.”

  • How unfortunate!

  • “Hi, my name is Jaclyn”

    “Hi, my name is I have a girlfriend”

  • oooh, burn. i think it’d be worse at the altar. the ring would have been for nothing.

  • you should have punched her?

  • wow. what was up her you know what. lol

  • I once elbowed a guy (who just couldn’t take a not so subtle hint) in the stomach. He doubled over clutching his belly. So look at the bright side: At least you weren’t physically beat down by a girl.

  • ouch. that was brutal.

  • I’m too charming to be rejected.

    Or I’m enough of a witty asshole to turn a comeback right around on them.

  • i don’t understand why that is mean.

  • I think that girl was just showing off her comeback skills.
    Too bad she did so at the expense of a free drink! And some great conversation, I’m sure!

  • i walked up to this  really gorgeous lookin guy and asked him if he wanted to dance at a club and he said “uh no thanks” i mean, sure it doesnt SOUND bad, but shit i’d never been said no to before so i didnt know what my next step was!

  • Omg, that’s awful. I’m so sorry.
    lol. I don’t give anyone the chance to reject me, but I can still understand what it feels like.

    PS.
    Some… most girls are just ass holes. They’re emotional for nearly no reason. Even when they have a reason, they exaggerate it. They’re selfish, and most often rude. Guys are simple and they get pissed ’cause they can’t understand men. Hell, it ain’t guys faults girls are illogically complex. Not all girls are bad though. That’s not what I’m sayin’. Keep you’re eyes open, but dont’ get down when one rejects you. Heck, be glad she “rejected” you. She ain’t worth it ;)

  • I got the ring back…and this is what was said:

    “Really, it’s not you, it’s me. I just think I could do better.”

  • Oh man, that was a good one (In her viewpoint kind of way). It took me a second to get it too.

  • I didn’t get it :(

  • I can’t help but laugh bro.

    I’ll give you an eProp fro putting up witht he rejection…though i still don’t knwo what eProps stand for…

    oh well.

  • maybe she was having a bad day? or maybe PMS…

  • LOL That sucks. I could never be that mean to a person. Ever.

  • I would have taken the shot, then done the rejecting. Every good Irish lass knows that whiskey just makes the blarney flow freer…

    ‘Course, in this age of roofies and whatnot, that might be a stupid move.

  • i don’t get it.

  • I feel kinda bad for you, but at the same time, I’ve got to give it up for a most excellent rejection!

  • i dont get it…sooryy…sounds mean though

  • oh well… it could have been worse…

  • This inspired a post.

  • nest time, try a better pick up line.

  • hah. i don’t think she meant to be hurtful… i suspect that she just said it to make herself feel cute or clever. a lot of girls do that.

  •   I had plenty of that crap from my old girlfriend..  I asked her if she wanted to get married and she said “Marry you?  Who the hell would want to marry a manwhore who already has a kid.”  I’m not a manwhore, I made a mistake and she rubbed it in my face.  I love my daughter very much but she always comes between me and the girls….

  • Oh man that’s harsh. I saw a video of a guy who proposed to his girlfriend on the court at halftime of an NBA game. The girl said no and ran off in front of 1000′s of people.

  • She was just playing hard to get.

  • That’s a fuckin’ bitch… No Wonder she’s all fuckin’ dumped!

  • You’re cute not to be rejected!

  • I don’t understand the joke..

  • ouch! it hurts…

  • wow that is harsh she must b a bitch dont worry about her nd yera there r worse rejections out there, there alwayz is, remember that

  • My gosh, how sad! Maybe she was pretending to be “hard to get” when in reality, she’s probably the easiest girl in the world.

  • Don’t you just love lemons?

  • Sad and rude of her :(

    Hehe, does it count as rejection if you say ‘I love you’ to someone and they say “SHUT UP AND STOP SAYING THAT TO ME!!!” in return? >.> That happened to me.

  • wow i wonder what crawled up her to make her so mean.

  • i told a girl i loved her…she hasn’t talked to me in almost 2 months. does that count?

  • slap thy bitch, lol. It happens to the best of us but you’re not the best of us. hahah

  • um. how about asked to prom but flat out rejected? and then said, i want to go with ur friend…

  • Dude!  That’s when you say, “That’s ok, you’re fat anyway” And walk away.  Just a tip form your Uncle El.   On topic though, I’ve never been rejected anywhere near as viciously though so I’m afraid I got nothin’ for ya’.

  • i woulda taken the shot first!

  • Dude!  That’s when you say, “That’s ok, you’re fat anyway” and walk away.  Just a tip from your Uncle El.  As for the topic at hand though, I’ve never been rejected that hard so I got nothin’ else to add.

  • WILBURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    AND BODY ODEUR!

  • This is why making passes at people is pointless…In the end you get nothing…YOU LOSE…GOOD DAY SIR!

  • u got to admit that was pretty good lol but not to be rude or any thing but well just comment me back… lol

    <someonespecial333

  • I don’t get it..? I feel dumb.

  • wow that wasn’t very nice of her–you never turn down free drinks . Anyway, that WOULD suck if someone got stood up at their wedding.

  • Shoulda poured the shot on her and made her night shite. :P

  • I would have replied, “even both shots won’t make you hot”.

  • i think she was showing off her comeback skills 2. silly girly.

    the worse ive seen is @ this wizards game where this chiq had 2 find the mascot (obviously she was blindfolded, walking around the bball court, with her arms outstretched, with the audience yelling out hot/cold whenever she got closer or further from the mascot)

    so when she finally reaches the mascot, the mascot takes off the costume, and goes down 2 one knee, and asks, “will u marry–”

    …she runs off the bball court. i saw this somewhere on dormwars.com. dont ask me why i was on there, i juss was. xD

  • Hey PUNK.  I remember you!  That was me that rejected you from the bar!
    I’ll show you to write about me on your xanga!

    Just kidding.  I’m not  ^_^
    I’m just a random loser.

  • Ouch, would you like some Usher with that burn?

  • Same result meaning… it’d make her look less ugly? OH!

    That’s just funny, u were being nice and she didn’t see it. what can u do but laugh.

  • tip: neva offer a shot to a gal who’s all alone in pubs/bars/clubs. she may be there to ‘vent frustrations’ on drinking. if u r not lucky, she may vent it on u!

  • neva offer a shot to a gal who’s all alone in pubs. she may be there to ‘vent frustrations’ on drinking. if u’re not lucky, she may vent it on u!

  • well, from my view, not to be mean but maybe she thought you spiked the drink. trying to keep herself safe. no offense.

  • It’s gals like that who give women a bad name. She could have just said “No thank you”. What a wench!
    .

  • oh well, some of us have just become a little disheartened and uninterested in that sort’of stuff now.

    don’t wear your heart on your sleeve.

    jking:)

  • Ouch. I’ve been rejected pretty bad before.

  • Wow… this is “The Worst Rejection Ever?”….hm.

    So I guess this beat out getting left at the altar by a few percentage points, eh?

  • Firstly, why did she turn down a shot?? Girl is crazy.
    Secondly, some girls are just plain mean. I can’t believe someone can be so harsh!!!!

    …but that’s a pretty good zinger…no offense.

  • That reminds me of this other girl’s response to a guy hitting on her.

    Guy – “Would you like a drink?”

    Girl – Flipping her hair to one side and looking him up and down. And then she hissed in a valley girl sort of way — “UH… NOOOO. Not from you.”

  • good times, eh? lol.

  • what was she thinking to come up with that reply?!? u only politely offered her a drink.

  • i hate it when people are cruel. she must really be insecure.

  • Lol that was baddddd, and rather rude. The altar thing would suck!

  • Aww…sorry. Some women can be mean at the bars. At least, she could have been more professional or nicer if she didn’t want the drink but she blew off the FREE drink from a nice guy with good intentions.

  • it could have been worse don’t kick yourself over a random

  • I would have said; “Your mom doesn’t love you.” and then took both the shots. Women like that, trying to be cute, or clever, or whatever are still retarded. If everyone is being cordial you should work to keep it that way. If after the kind refusal somebody still doesn’t get it, then you the insults can fly. I thought people went out to have a good time?

         Once I said “hey” in a chipper tone to a girl sitting on a bar stool by herself, while going to buy a beer and innocently smiling and had her roll her eyes and say “whatever” in a bitchy voice… So I looked at my buddy and thumbed her direction while laughing and shaking my head and said in an mockingly incredulous and offended tone, “how dare she!” Then never even looked at her or talked to her, but paid for her next drink discreetly. Going some where with all that attitude you must have a miserable life or suffer from a low self-esteem that is reflected in a need to feel like you are more highly desired than you really are, or…. she could have just genuinely wanted nothing to do with me… that does burn a little.

  • That was cold.

    ICEBERG !!

  • I have to agree with Alice…I don’t get it…

  • “i don’t understand why that is mean.”

    HAHAH….geeze.

  • I’m a girl and if I’m not interested in anyone trying to talk to me, all I have to do is be nice and say “no thanks.”

    so on behalf of those girls who just aren’t that nice and give the rest of us a bad name… sorry dude!

    hala!

  • I would have taken it because I’m a drunk…

  • shut down! haha.

  • Shut Down!!! hahaha.

  • like..who does that?
    who turns down a free shot from people who ask nicely?!

  • She probably had that one saved up and was waiting to use it for awhile.  Don’t feel bad :)

  • down right funny.

    mean mean mean girl.

  • Could someone please kindly explain the joke/come back, as there’s a few people (including myself) who doesn’t get it….

  • Could someone please kindly explain the joke/come back as there’s a few of us (including me) that doesn’t get it…

  • Perhaps it wasn’t the worst rejection ever, but more like the best rejection ever. Either way, it’s classic!

  • i dont get it….

  • yeah at least you didnt waste any money on it for her lol.

    maybe she’d just been cracked onto by another guy… ?

  • Totally worth getting featured.

  • Sir, that rejection was nothing… nothing… Since, I love to walk up to random strange cute girls, I’ve experienced a whole lot worse ahahaha.

    lol. Well, sometimes I do it to myself. I guess approaching a girl in a crowded room or bus is a sure fire way to get an audience. Ahaha. I got one rejection so bad that even my friend felt the pain for me. hehe.

    I honestly, could care less though. Fack rejection. Just find a girl, or girls, you like that like you. Who cares about the others.

    peace!

  • Well, I see it like this at leastyou do not have my luck.  The last five girls that I have asked out all turned out to be lesbians.  They were not even saying that to let medown easier.  They actually were.  It is really not that bad of a rejection but it is just that it happened five times in a row that gets me.  Oh well, My best friend told me that if I get two more rejections like that in a row he will give me a cookie. 

  • I think that was rather clever.  It’s hard to think fast like that!!

  • I think that was rather clever!!  It’s hard to think that fast!

  • Dude, she was probably a bar skank. Should have just waited it out, and before long she would have been so wasted she probably would have let you take two shots off the crack of her ass. Remember that next time.

  • jeez she was getting offered a free shot! haha even so she could have been more polite.

  • That is ridiculous. That says nothing about you, she was definately trying to prove something. You are too good looking for that crap, you rock! :) -Erin-

  • This says nothing about you, she was obviously trying to prove something. I would have dumped both shots on her head, she’s lucky I wasn’t there, LOL :)

    You are too attractive to deal with this crap. You rock~!

    Erin

  • sorry, I thought the first one didnt post so I tried again, and couldn’t delete one, oh well.

  • Why did you tell her ‘my friend does not want to drink this’ instead of simply inviting her? It sounds as if she was a waste basket. I thought her answer was rather funny and I might try it if someone seems to deserve it… Try and laugh at it - you are right, there are worse rejections!

  • Ouch, Buddy. you had it coming. You know why she rejected you? Cause to a women, men that buy her drinks are the same as all the others. The ones that are trying so desperately to hit on her. Simply put, acting like a gent around a hot stranger chick doesnt work. And you just happened to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. There’s a rule for guys, you dont buy her drinks if you dont know her. She’ll think you are like all the other guys that are trying to get her in bed.

    And that line she used. Its from her Bitch Shield. Thats why it was so harsh. Urban Dictionary that.

    And as for the worst rejections. I think its gotta be the cathedral at the altar.

    PS. taking that extra mile for the “no” was to make sure you wont come back.

  • Rule #1. Always say “Hi!” first before you shove shots of whiskey down their throats. Guys don’t give whiskey away for free. Even if it’s not theirs.

    Marraige proposal rule # 32. Always know the answer before asking the big question. If it’s a 50/50 crap shoot then the marraige doesn’t have a 50/50 chance in hell of working anyway.

  • haha.. smart girl.. lol i mean lik.. that was a smart way to bput it i guess.. heheh.. but yea.. that sucks

  • That sucks! I guess it wasn’t meant to be!!

  • That was mean…she should have just said no

  • that’s probably happened several times… I’d say that!!

  • ouch. That hurts…

  • OUCH!!!! Sorry about your rejection man!!!!

    I doubt this is worse, but this is my most rememberal rejection ever.

    I asked this guy at my school Lloyd out to homecoming and he shrugged and said “sure, but I don’t know if I could go because I have so much work to do!”

     So I shrugged and thought maybe he would be able to come. And I was going to ask him again the day before homecoming and he comes up to me and says “Sorry, but I can’t go to the dance ’cause I gotta work on my truck!”

     I couldn’t believe it! I know Lloyd, he loves to work on cars, but he couldn’t even take a break ONE night to go to the dance… in reality I don’t think he ever wanted to go, but he could have just told me instead of getting my hopes up!

  • On the show “Bridezillas” on WE or Oxygen or whichever lady channel it is on, a guy actually left his crazy bride at the altar on national TV.  I think that’s a pretty harsh rejection…

  • At least you didn’t have a date and the date kept forgetting your name! 

    Geez….should I wear a name tag for heavens sake!! 

  • i feel ya man.
    hey how bout this one:

    so i was in the club with a few buddies, and one of em spots a cute girl dancing on this elevated “dance stage”. so he tells me about her and like a dutiful friend, i encourage him to go talk to her. my friend being the shy guy, puts himself down, giving excuses not to approach her. i recommend that he just dance with her. simple. then i continue to feed his confidence and then give him a nice push towards the girl.

    next thing i know, he dashes straight for her, yells something to her and then proceeds climbing up the stage to where she was dancing.
    suddenly she pushes him back off the stage, he falls backwards, then she gives him a public execution by crossing her arms in an “X” formation right at him.
    i was cracking up..
    EVERYONE saw it.

    now switch the role of my friend with me, and then re-read to get another version of the same story.
    i’ll never forget that one.

  • It sounds like you must have ticked one of her friends off in a previous life

  • she’s mean…sorry to hear that though.

    better luck next time? hehehe :P

  • Saw your post featured on Xanga.  I gotta say: Wow, that’s funny.  Myself being a glutton for punishment, in your place would of persued it further.  Very few girls are very witty like that.  As mean as it is, it’s something very rare.  I think she might of really be challenging you.  Who really puts any thoughts into rejections right?

  • i think that was pretty funny! at least it was an original rejection!

  • You foo! If she really wasn’t interested she’d have just said so. She challenged you and you caved. Haaa Haaa

  • hahaha lmao!~ to bad =[

  • women like that are brilliant. you ought to ask her out again when you are not drinking.

  • ouch, I feel for ya man. Try making friends away from alcohol though. I bet it would be more meaningful.
    ~ET

  • I never got rejected, but that’s simply because I try to avoid getting rejected. lol. But I’m sorry you did. =P

  • Had a fierce crush on a cute bartender one time. He seemed to be interested…we talked and laughed and danced a lot. I got the courage to ask him if he wanted to go out sometime. Seems everyone in the bar except me knew he was gay.

  • Maybe because you were wearing a pirate skirt??

  • :[

    that sucks.

  • I think thats the funniest shit I’ve ever heard actually.

  • that took me a while to understand but woww

  • her head is way too big or too high in the clouds. your offer didn’t even sound you like were hitting on her! it’s not like you said “hey, can i have your number?”

  • fuck her… she doesn’t deserve you anyway

  • I would have responded “Oh really? You’re THAT easy?”

  • sorry to hear that hun..

    the first thing that came to mind when i read your post was, “just another lame pick up line”..i mean now that i read it and i realize that wasnt your intention at all, she must have read it that way, and as sweet of a guy as you really are..save your ego from rejection by choosing friendlier looking girls next time..good luck =)

  • i was obsessed with this gorgeous guy.. Efren Arocho Jr. was his name.. back in junior high school (later carried on to high school too) but anyways, it was the 9th grade and i was in the lunch room… i had given him an annoymous note, sent to him by one of my “friends” so he recieved it and when i entered the lunch room, my “friend” pointed at me and said to him “this is her” so immediately he knew that i wrote the letter for him.. my damn friend ratted me out and there i sat embarrassed, blushing, and totally shy.. i didn’t want to go up to him and say anything.. anyways, so i sat there and a few minutes later he finishes “replying” to the love note…  and when i got it back, he came over to my table and gave it back to me with a smile, and i thought it was good.. but he walked away and i as i read it my heart melted.. he wrote “… sorry but you just aren’t my type, what do you like about me anyway?” it was a rejection note i assumed…

    later on, i sent him another note, but this time he wrote back in huge letters.. “I JUST DON’T LIKE YOU”   and i began to cry… that’s when i lost all interest in him because of the way he handled it was mean.. i lost interest in dating him

    when i was in high school, he was in a different high school but i would see him almost everyday in the train ride in the mornings before i got to school..  he would stare at me, and i would stare back at him everyday.. it was strange, maybe he wanted to date me but didn’t want his friends seeing him with me, his friends were the types that liked to date skinny tiny girls with big boobs.. and me, i was chubby, with glasses.. i was a bit of a dork… but he did like me though, i never said a word to him…  i just enjoyed looking at his face, i was in love with his beauty… one day he tapped me on the shoulder and said “how come you don’t say hi anymore?” but i didn’t answer him

  • I think that was plain rude. I’d never turn down a free drink. Maybe she was attempting to flatter herself.

  • She probably learned that comeback that day and wanted to use it.

  • The worst definitely is the sister/brother line….”but you’re like a sister to me!”…..ick

  • You have to give it to her to be able to think that quick on her feet.

  • worst rejection? um. my freshman year at high school, i went to my friend’s homecomming. there was this girl i noticed that was like alone and looked sad and stuff in a corner by herself. so i was like ok fine, i go up to her, and say what’s up… her reply: “looks like that tent in your pants is up. f^ck off, before you’ll be asking what’s down after i kick you there”.

    trying to be a nice guy. sucks. ha.

  • man, that chick was evil…

  • wicked bitch she is!

  • I have had guys just look at me like they were totally repulsed.  That hurt!  And wth??  I’m not bad looking! 

  • rejection is only half the fun, the other half is the comeback she wasn’t expecting

  • OUCH! that was mean! it’s women like her that give the others a bad name -_-

  • so freshman year in high school..there was this guy who was in my gym class and he was pretty good looking. it was like the last day of school and we were all just sitting on the gym floors just talking and i pulled out my cell phone to get this other boys number. but the hot one was sitting rite next to him so i thought itd be a great time to ask for his number…WRONG! he said “no thanks..” lets just say that wasnt the best way to start my summer!!

  • Maybe she was having a stupendously horrific day. Not any reason to take it out on you, but maybe it’s one of those things people say when they’re in an awful mood that they don’t even realize they’re saying and that they don’t necessarily mean.

  • what a bitch.. she’s so rude. i mean, she could have politily smiled and said no thank U! i’d have esp. since u asked so nicely! sheesh pple r so retarded. dont worry. next time, if that happens, say something mean back a stupid bitch.

  • i’d be happy 2 take a free shot any time. Gosh… wat a waste.

  • Hey dude that is harsh.  But if you think that is harsh you should hear the way I rejected a guy before.  He asked me to go to his house that Friday night after school and stay for the whole weedend but I told him HELL FUCKING NOOOOO. He was such a dumbass for asking me anyway because I was allready taken by a way better guy.  This was to years ago I was only 11 then now I am13 and still have that guy and hopefully always keep him I am supose to be having a kid in about 3 months.  But you are to hot to deal with that SHIT.  Love you sexy comment me back ttyl.(talk to you later.)

  • Daaamn I would have told that chick off, what got up her ass?! o.o She turned down a free drink and was a prick doin’ it. -__- Well, at least your friends didn’t see it…or did they? O.o;;

  • what a bitch!!!

  • ouch. harsh….

  • A friend of mine went on a blind date once and called me afterward.  She told me “He had two drinks at dinner.”  I said “So?” She said “If he drinks this much now, how much is he going to drink once he gets to know me?”   I couldn’t help but laugh.  It seems like you would probably need to drink more had you got to know this girl.  Consider yourself lucky, she did you a favor!  lol

  • wow. I thought I was brutal. That was kinda unnecessary. She seemed really stuck up.

  • That’s too bad that that happened. :(

    The worst rejection I’ve had? Through Facebook. The guy sent me a message outlining and explaining every single one of my flaws.

    But that “cute” girl was obvs a snot, don’t let it get ya down. :)

  • hey

       well that is a bummer sorry that it happend but you look cool anyway

                                    Bleeding4you_xo@xanga.com

  • what a meanie. she didn`t deserve the shot…or you.

  • geeeez that is rough!

    at least she didn’t use one of those corny lines like “sorry, I think my cell phone is ringing”… then that would be really lame

  • don’t trip. any girl who would be a bitch like that when it’s so clearly uncalled for is the kind of girl you’d be better off without.

  • I must be the only one who doesn’t get it

  • was juss readin ur entry.. whoaaaaaa.. thas hard cooore… hope u got over it… its ok… women can be bit***Es

  • Hello Vikas,
    I like your site that you worked hard to make simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. I see that you have a wide variety of observations here!
    I like to write articles about God and religion on my site to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. 14 When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) (CEV) I hope you get a chance to look at them.

  • Actually, not wanting to be mean, but you should have expected that strong of a rejection in that situation. Joining a group of clearly inebriated men to drink shots with them is not something to invite a girl you don’t already know well to do. The ones who would accept may give you some fun, but in the end, you and they will pay a very high price. She was right to blow you off in that situation. Next time, try walking over to her and saying, I’m getting tired of immature junk like this. Would you mind if I joined you instead? Bet you’d have seen a different result…

  • BTW it clearly wasn’t your looks that turned her off… ;)

  • i dont get it.

  • Hi!

    One night I asked the daughter of my wife, (before we were even thinking of getting married), if she wanted to go out dancing with me because her mother didn’t want to go. I got a very cold “I don’t think so!” from her. At that time my wife-to-be was trying to get me and her daughter together. I had just gotten back from being a driver for a friend’s wedding and was a little drunk. I met my wife-to-be at the store we were working at and she took me back to her place to sober me up before letting me go home. I was feeling no pain and wanted to go dancing, (I only dance when I’m three sheets to the wind) and have a good time with friends. I wasn’t looking for anything more than that. Later on I realized what I had done: not only did I ask her as a second choice, but to be a second choice to your mother! What a major no-no! Not only was it a bad rejection, but the worst pick-up line ever!

    Nobody Special _:^)

  • apperently gentle refusals aren’t very effective ;

    a guyfirend came over to hang out, tried to kiss me, and i was very polite, but basically told him ”nothanksbutalsodon’tletthedoorhityouonethewayout.”

    the way the story is floating around now, i’m such a skank that i practically molested him and he stormed out, disgusted. >.<

    next time i go for avidevis method.

    and i suppose i am stupid. i’m not understanding the burn.

  • one girl give u one Cm…=]]”^o^

  • hey there..it was a funny comeback but that was just pretty rude ..but u know i think it was against her ideas to accept drinks from someone, like maybe she was thinking u know..why should i get what’s left over or something like that..

    anyway..what i think she meant was something like this..if u have both the shots, ull still say in that drunk state..like it wnt have much effect on ur mental ability or soemthing ..

    anyway..nice entry :D

  • if a guy rejected me on the alter, or anywhere, for that matter, i’d… beat him up. but obviously, you’re not asking a guy out and you probably can’t beat a girl up. some girls can be so cocky.

  • The correct response would be: “Same result?  You mean, you’ll actually seem interesting?”

  • LOL sad thing is that I can see myself doing the excat same thing she did but I have a reputation of being a smart-ass.

  • Wow, what a bitch! Well, good that you found that one out before going any further and wasting your time!  Snappy come backs that would have been awesome:

    “Nah, I’ve had 4 already…why do you think I’m talking to you?”

    “I’m sorry, I wasn’t talking to you….I was talking to that chip on your shoulder…”

    “Ok good, we didn’t want to waste it on you anyhow.”

    “GREAT idea…maybe then my vision will blur and I won’t have to look at you anymore…”

    ;)  

  • That was probably my homegirl michelle that said that to you. Union Hall’s a great place. Magnetic Field is better though.

  • Im the girl who rejected you

  • hahah, and what did you do after? You surely had to comeback at her for that!

    I would have said, “You are right, you will still be an ugly lonely bitch whether I take one shot or two.”

    or

    “Good, I wasn’t really interested anyway, you looked like a bitch and I just wanted to confirm that. Mission accomplished.”

  • Hey,

    what a horrible and a terrible thing to do, that is like so mean! when you had to be brutual on someone then they will never ever forgive you for doing a nasty fight to them ! How very rude!! oh my god, if I were those innocent people I would like run away from them and stay away from them for good and let those innocent people call the police officer and let them take care of the brutual and horrible murder and when you see a mean bully right in front of you then it’s like people always says ” stand up to that bully and face them eye to eye and don’t be afraid and also you don’t want to touch their bodies either!

  • oh snap! but maybe she gets hit on all the time? it’s always funnier when the shot is in the other foot… er hand isn’t it? :P

  • Where you dressed the same as in your site picture at the time?

  • ugh, that sucks. but at least you tried instead of just sitting there. =]

  • that sucks, i wouldn’t have said no ;0)

  • That’s a great story :> – but the T. Roosevelt quote is even better – that’s one of my favorite quotes, have it in my calendar.

    sorry, no pic, this is my first 5 minutes on xanga – the front page had your wonderful rejection story….enjoyed it much!  hehe

  • that was a burn! the bar arena has always been such a battlefield … or just any crowd with mixed genders.

  • ouch that was so mean! what a dumbass to reject a free drink…..and a cute guy!

  • well…at least yoo were being nice and yoo were not using violence against her.yoo were in a bar anyway,so probably she was drunk?

  • I hate women…

    I know I am one of them…but I still hate ‘em.

  • that’s not mean, it’s honest. at least someone has morals enough not to lie.

  • Lighten up. 

    You should’ve said, “I agree with you, because beer goggles won’t make you look any better.”

  • Definitely ouch!  Hmmm… a bride saying, “I’d rather not”?!  That would be something new, most girls dream of becoming a bride since they were very young.  And besides why would she wait until the day of the wedding?  Unless the groom did something horrible like sleeping with the bride’s maid?  I can see it happening now.  This is getting too long.  I better get back to work.  Interesting post! =]

  • Dude, you just got burned!!!!

  • Dude, you just got burnt!!!!!!

  • maybe it wasn’t a rejection… she most likely meant that you were too outta her league so whether or not she drank it, it could never work out and outta sadness for herself, she decided to leave right away to cry for the rest of the night. that is how i interpret it.

  • aw, at least you took it like a man and blogged about it! 

    once i witnessed my male friend approach a girl at a club, who looked kind of upset.  he asked her, “hey you look sad, is everything all right?”

    her response?

    “i was doing just fine until you came along.”

    OOOOOOOOOH!

  • *shakes head*
    …..sad

    –btd.

  • Was she a good lookin’ gal or some dog that thought she wuz da sheeeeeeeeet?

  • lol ouch it must have been the sari that upset her !

  • Wow. Ouch. That does hurt.

    Years ago, a guy told me he loved me and I said “WHAT?!” I was really shocked because we hadn’t been dating very long.

    I tried to play it off like I just didn’t hear him and was asking him to repeat it, but he knew.

  • ouch, dude… that was harsh lol…

  • i haven’t read all the comments so sorry if this has been said, but i think an appropriate comeback would’ve been:
    “good point, but at least you’d look twice as hot”

  • What a fucking BITCH!

  • Ah that hurts. But I might be able to top it.. except that I was the one doing the rejecting. I was pretty messed up at a club one night, and had a boyfriend at the time… but some guy at the bar started talking to me and this is how the conversation went.

    “Him: Blah blah blah….
    Drunk Me (In a sweet voice): Hey you know… can you do me a favor?
    Him: Yeah, what?
    Drunk Me: Don’t talk to me anymore.. [walks away] thanks!
    Him: Oh wow, come up w/that on your own?”

    It was so mean and I felt SO BAD the next day when I remembered. Women are just bitches a lot of the time. Sorry.

  • omg that was rude as hell. sorry i’m like a random person who read the title of the blog entry and had to comment. if i were you i would’ve just been like “hey i was offering you a drink, not asking you to sleep with me, how pretentious can you be?”
    hahaha

    good luck in the future.

    I haven’t had many rejections in my single days. but once i gave someone my friend’s name and her phone number… not indicating that they weren’t mine. does that count?

  • really??
    “A few people have asked what she meant, so I’ll tell you what I think it was: She meant that whether she took the shot or not, she wasn’t going to give me the time of day.”

    I had thought she meant that you would get just as drunk drinking either one or two shots! lol oops =)

  • That’s horrible! Women can be brutal sometimes. ._.

  • Sorri thtz the way life goes

  • you should have said… “no, it won’t… you won’t look quite as ugly after the second shot…”

    I don’t know if anyone else has offered that comeback, but I don’t feel like scrolling through 233 comments to find out.

  • ouch! hurts! that’s harsh!

  • My response to a rejection like that would have been, “What? You wouldn’t look any better?”

    ;) EHEHEHE

  • She is so sarcastic!

  • Hmmm….too bad she screwed herself out of some free alcohol…shots don’t come cheap! That’s what you call not thinking ahead…

  • oh sweet rejection, a mental art form practiced by women on a daily basis.
    it’s rather amusing when the rejecter’s boyfriend/husband/whatever comes into view, and he’s twice the size of the rejectee. the rejecter gives the rejectee a sorry smile, right before said rejectee is thrown into a trashcan.

  • Honey that girl is way to ugly to be having you for a boyfriend she needs one that treats her like a piece of SHIT.  You deserve way better than that.  She can’t handle somebody like you anyway I don’t even get why you even tried for that dumbass in the first place well love you ttyl.

  • I LOVE Union Hall. I got there a lot. They have such a cute setup in there. Park Slope is such a sweet neighborhood, too. Though, I don’t think I’ve ever had rejection quite like that at Union Hall, or any other lounge for that matter.

  • live and learn.

  • One word….bitch.

  • Well, I’ve got something “interesting”…. I’ve been rejected 46 times by 8~9 girls who are now all my friends…. Its like that line from “Hanibal” the book: “A long time ago John Brigham had asked her something and she said no. And then he asked her if they could be friends, and meant it, and she said yes, and meant it.” Worst I suppose would be that time that one person said no to me, then less than a week later, yes to another… And then being friends asked me for advice about him as a guy… I gave her the right advice and chose not to posion my words….

    Quote: “I like Emo music till I remember they’ve had girlfriends and I haven’t… Then I just feel depressed…..”

  • If that’s the worst rejection you’ve ever taken I think you’re doing pretty well. It certainly didn’t cost you anything and it probably only took a few seconds of your time, so it wasn’t that great of a loss in reality. If you were polite about it, I give you props for trying. I also apologize for rude women in general. We manage to get the sleeziest guys staring us down or cat calling and it can be very frustrating and easy to be rude. So then sometimes that runs over to all guys, no matter their intentions. It’s not an excuse, but a reason.

  • Okay, I deduced from my ex boyfriend’s myspace that his fiance sent him a myspace message to tell him that she was running off with his brother. After he bought a $3000 ring and put a down payment on a house for her.

    Nobody is going to be able to beat that.

  • Sorry about that bro! But that’s a good attitude right there that you’re following…. I also like the quote very much. Random props! haha.

  • Rude and very clumsy too! It might have been even worse if she didn’t reject your offer.

  • my friend went to an astros game a few weeks ago and told us how some guy proposed on the jumbo screen… she said no. camera cut away really fast…

  • er… perhaps u were just unlucky…

  • perhaps u were just unlucky

  • Ouch. That sounds like it hurt.

  • Hi,
     I was just browsing sites when I came across yours. Anyway, have a great day.

  • I don’t get what the burn was.  What’s the big deal?

  • if you think about it, she’s obviously used that same line over and over then goes home to masturbate to her glow of superiority.

  • hiya wot u up 2 im solaya

  • ouch. she gave up a free drink too. that was cruel.

  • Man…reading what happened to you brought back memories of things I used to do way back when. Although I was a bit nicer than she was. The only time I was rude was when the guy couldn’t take no for an answer or continued to be presistant. I’m so glad those days are over now. One day when you settle down and have a family, you don’t have to worry ’bout stuff like that. It’s great to hang with friends and go to bars and such, but when it’s time…don’t meet your future mate in a bar.

  • It was just a rejection from some girl in a bar. It wasn’t a life-altering phenom. I fail to see how this is the worst rejection “ever.”

    A list of worse rejections that you stated above:

    Trying for years to have a baby, only to find out you are incapable.

    Finding out your mate is having an affair on you, and doesn’t want to be with you anymore.

    Working so hard for a job/promotion that you really need, and then someone who hasn’t worked as hard gets it.

    Your adult child shutting you out of their life. Or likewise, your mother or father wanting nothing to do with you.

    Etc. etc. etc.

    A girl in a bar refusing to share a shot with you is not the worst type of rejection you can have. Even if she adds a little something extra on. At least she didn’t say, “No thanks. You are darn ugly and I wouldn’t share a shot with an ugly person.” (not saying that you are, just saying that it could have been a little more insulting.)

  • I meant, “A list of worse(r) rejections than you stated above.”

  • should have just said “Yeah I know there isn’t enough booze in the world to make you attractive.”

  • oh sorry forgot the finish …

    then you slam both shots in front of her … stare at her again and just shudder and pretend to throw up in your mouth.

  • PS: She wasn’t being a bitch just because she is one in nature. Experience most likely taught her (like it has every other women) that most men don’t pick up on nice or gentle rejections, or even hints. So many of us have learned that it’s better to be harsh up front and get it done and over with then smiling and saying “sorry, no thanks”. From my own experience, it seems to get the male-type to try even harder and then they end up harrassing you for a good chunk of the night unitl One) You’re friends (or boyfriend) comes to your rescue. Or Two) You finally figure you’re going to have totally humiliate this fellow to get him to leave you alone.

  • Don’t worry about it, Vikas. This kind of girl is just insecure so she has to act tough and hurt someone else to make herself feel better. Trust me.

  • damn what was up her ass LOL. nice quote =)

  • I once responded to a come on as “Do you have any standards or do you hit on everyone?!”

    I’m not usually that rude bc I know it takes courage to approach a girl. But in my defense… They were vain, steroid-pumping jocks that approached me at school, 6 at a time. I ingonored their other attempts to intiate conversation. And they followed me to my car at night. Then hit on my friend as she pulled into a parking spot next to me. One guy that says “Is it bc I’m fat?” and takes off his shirt to show off his 6 pack. In my opinion, one rejection wasn’t going to make a large blow to his ego.

    Of course I did come back to a dented car after class.

  • man…hurtful…never been rejected that hard before..

  • i dont’ think it was harsh at all.  you really just needed a witty comeback and she might have reconsidered.  woman have tons of guys hititng on them at a bar all the time; what makes you any different than just being nice??  Wanna score, bring up your game.  - just a different perspective

  • nice quote. sometimes i cant understand girls myself and im a girl.
    girls are weird.
    though sometimes we just wanna protect ourself.
    i think what she was doing was just protecting herself or w/e.
    still i dont understand girls…

  • Well that was extremely rude. She could have just said no. GOD..Well I hope that your ok,and that your not bitter or anything lol.

  • leave me a comment

  • Oh wow, owned?

    These things happen.

  • Hey guys my friend Luke just lost his mother and he’s going through alot and it would mean alot if the xanga community pulled together to help him so go to xanga.com/lukeipher55 and tell him how much you care.

    P.S. I’m posting this on your page because you’re on the front page and alot of people will read this.

  • I’m surprised she didn’t just take the shot and then excuse herself.  I mean, if you’re going to be a bitch you might as well get free booze out of it. 

  • sigh….young life and love is difficult

  • wow that IS a pretty bad rejection!

  • You’re playing the SAME game she’s playing and being superficial for only truly considering giving the shot to a “cute” girl as opposed to a fat shlub… so she smacked your fragile little ego down a few notches cause you’re not cute and don’t have enough game to woo her… 

    but now you’re getting sympathy from random xangans, which i can’t even fathom… but, ego boosted again… congrats! 

  • Whenever a girl is rude to me at a scene like that, I always say, “I’m sorry, I was looking for a classy girl to have fun with”. It’s nice come back because you sound like a  gentleman (not swearing and letting your emotions get the best of you) and at the same time it’s a slap to her face.

  • I gotta say, that sounds like a painful burn/rejection/all around slap in the face.

    I hate when people don’t just accept that a simple “no” is as good an answer as any.

  • you is so gay

  • Ear is the little side of the heaven and earth. If you wear the right jewellery, it can make your entire face luster to be enlarged. First to estimate what kind of links of London earrings suit your face when choose. For example of me, my face is a little round, so those long earrings are not good looking on me. I like small and delicate links of london jewellery I don’t ask for style, but the color should be better. I have black, white, red, green, yellow and transparent diamond earrings. For those whose face is better, the choice is much more.
    The style of earrings and necklace should match with the color. So that the triangle that above the neck be embraced.
    Friends always said that I have many links of london and they are all beautiful. In fact, I just do that. Almost everyday’s jewellery with on repeat. But also remember according to the dress to choose the style and color.
