Keeps the creepy guys away.

And she can get the hell off my lawn

By John Overholt (not verified) | Fri, 10/26/2007 - 3:56pm

I've never been to the Pour House, but I appreciate her warning me that since I'm 36, I'm too old to go there.

Yeah, I'm 50

I appreciate the warning, too! Anyplace else in the city I shouldn't be, all-knowing-and-oh-so-knowledgable SAS?

(By the way, in her profile, under "interests", it says "Being a city girl living IN Beacon Hill." I wonder where her burrow is.)

I was 24 the last time I went to the Pour House, and I think I was too old even then.

The Pour House has looooonnnngg been a place for creepy guys to hit on college-age women. It had that reputation when I was in college - and it lived up to it.

Silly newcomer womyns, you don't go to the Pour House unless you can tolerate/deflect/desire some of that wonderful "just got divorced and haven't changed my pickup lines since 1990" action!

THAT old? OMG and stuff!

By Seraphic Single (not verified) | Fri, 10/26/2007 - 8:11pm

OMG how like totally terrible and stuff, and her with her new highlights too, like what, he thought it was for him? OMG. Like, I don't know what guys over 30 even live for anyway, u know? I mean, shouldn't they be playing, I don't know, shuffleboard or something? I mean, not that I know what shuffleboard is, ha ha ha, but it's like an old man thing, right? U know what, girlfriend, the next time a guy that old comes up to him, you should just get out the taser, because it's almost like sexual assault having an old guy talk to u, isn't it? Like, OMG. TG those younger guys came up to u afterwards to diss him like they really meant it or else there wouldn't have been any "event" at all except, I guess, for the highlights! Okay, 'nuff said, BB!

If not the first time, then

If not the first time, then at least the second time he came over, you should have politely told him to eff off. When he introduced himself and asked for your names, you should have told him something like you and your friend haven't seen each other for a while, and have a lot of catching up to do, and would prefer to be left to yourselves until your friends come. If he persisted then, interrupt him and tell him that you you were serious about what you said. If he stays even a half minute longer, tell him you are going to tell a bouncer that he won't leave you alone, and start on your way to the bouncer or bartender. He will stop immediately, or get thrown out. Either should work, for your purposes.

Seriously...

> So Susie and I were forced to reveal our names to him.

Uh, no you weren't. You chose to. I'm seconding what 02132 said -- politely ask the guy to leave you alone. Clearly he has bad boundaries, but that doesn't mean you have to react by also having bad boundaries and then declaring yourself a victim.

Speaking of boundaries, since when is it SAS's decision what ages of people are "out of place" in local establishments? Dayum!

Am I the only one?

By Tammy (not verified) | Sat, 10/27/2007 - 9:00am

That thinks the even bigger issue here is that this tot thinks 35 is "OLD". Cut me a break! Granted, I'm a late-thirty-something myself, but even when I was in my twenties, I didn't think 30-somethings were old. This guy was annoying... yes, but creepy and old? No... just a moron.
