The guy I ended up sitting next to on the flight back to Orange County from Phoenix was pretty amusing. He just seemed so...dumb, I guess. I don't really know how else to put it.
- The dude was complaining about how hot it was in the plane and in Phoenix. Sure it was a little warm in there, but I'm sure his long-sleeve flannel shirt wasn't helping any.
- He struck up a conversation with the guy on his other side, apparently some basketball coach from St. Louis looking to recruit. This was my favorite part. In the midst of the conversation, he mentions that he's only been out of state a few times (he's from Vegas) and California was one of the places he's been. In fact, he mentions that he's going to California right now, which was shocking given that we were on a airplane headed to Santa Ana. He then asked the coach if he was headed back to St. Louis. As we were on an airplane headed to Santa Ana. Needless to say, the coach was also headed to California. Shocker.
- Not something dumb, just something annoying. This guy dominated the armrests. As in his elbow was jabbing into my side the entire flight until I decided to lean against the window because I don't like elbows in the ribs.
- The guy talked about how stupid his friends were for doing drugs. He also said that he was into philosophy. And he also said he loved smoking and drinking. He also mentioned he was 19.
- He kept talking about how much he liked girls. Coach was maybe late 20s early 30s, you think this guy would know that the coach probably wasn't too interested. When he mentioned how hot the women in Orange County were, the coach simply said he probably wasn't going to get any because he was engaged. This guy's response, verbatim: "Engaged? S#!t, that sucks man!" ...really?
- He then tried to explain how much he loved black girls to the dark-skinned basketball coach, of course first clarifying that he wasn't trying to suck up or anything. He kept talking about how bad he was at relationships. Again, shocker.
At some point is it a choice to act and talk like this? To drop f-bombs and talk about drugs and women in a conversation with someone you just met? Is it stupidity or a lack of tact or just not having developed social discussion skills? I have no idea.
