Back in the early 2000s, before I met my spouse, I went out on a date with the cute new girl at the office. We met at a restaurant, and she wore a Kid Rock t-shirt. I asked about it, she said "oh yeah, I'm a big fan, his music is so great, you know I actually met him backstage after a concert, etc. etc.," and talked about him nonstop through most of dinner.

There wasn't a second date.

I should clarify--it wasn't because of her awful taste in music (and men); it was just abundantly clear that we didn't have much in common. After dinner we were both like "Welp, that was interesting, see you around" and left it at that. Happened all the time in my 20s.

I thought the story of my date with Kid Rock Fangirl would be a funny segue after Danny's and Gradine's posts, is all.
 


Naw. Really, you shouldn't.

I, for one, was thinking that you were a paragon of equanimity for seeing the T-Shirt and walking away.
Me: "Hello there, thanks for coming!"
Me: (noticing the Kid Rock t-shirt)
