Today, I saw a cute guy at the coffee shop reading a book. Wanting to be friendly, I smiled as I approached and asked what he was reading. He returned the smile and said, "Minding your damn business, by Fuck Off." FML

Shit, I have to admit that while you did get blindsided and I have sympathy for you, the dude was a ******* savage

I would have responded "well I heard fans of that book are real asshats"

What he did is a douche move but generally when people are reading it means they don't want to be disturbed especially if you can see what they are reading.

Welcome to our world, (of men). This is exactly what 97% of men experience 98% of the time when trying to start a friendly conversation with a woman.

Bit of a huge exaggeration. I'd never be rude like that unless the other person was harassing me and I'd be very surprised if any women that I know would be that rude. And I've never heard any of my male friends complain about this.

Well, the problem with this is that the perspective of women depends on whether they think the guy is cute or not : When a guy is considered to be cute : 'I'm always flattered by any male attention'. When a guy is considered to not be cute : 'this guy is harassing me'.

You're SO right! I never thought of it like that before. Poor men! I would hate to be a guy... girls are ruthless and think it's okay or funny. Personally I have never been like that to someone I dont find attractive. It takes courage to go up and talk to someone you find is attractive. There are other ways to let them know you're not interested than just flat out being mean. You can't be TOO nice.. because then you're a "tease" if you're not interested.. but there's no reason to be a complete bitch either.

That was a bit overly rude. It wasn't that serious for him to bring out the asshole in himself. All he had to do was answer your question and say that he doesn't want to be rude but he doesn't want to talk to anyone and leave it like that and continue to read his book. It's so much better, easier and don't cost a thing to make someone feel good with kind words instead of making someone feel bad with mean words.

This is how my friend is. People think he is hot but when they talk to him he tells them to **** off. He hates everyone accept his friends

Good lord. Maybe he should be reading something about People Skills.. or Manors.. because obviously his mother didn't teach him any!

I swear if a girl said that to a man, ya'll would be cheering and whooping.

Wow, just wow. I agree with #3 for a response.

Yeah, I get him. There's nothing worse than when you just want to sit down and read a book, maybe get some coffee/food, and having people ask you questions when you don't want to talk, especially a girl that wants to be friends/in a relationship.

Admittedly that was a little harsh. But I don't really like it when Im minding my own business and strangers bother me either.
