So me and my girlfriend decided to meet up for drinks after work one night at some trendy new bar. It's a typical wanna-be hipster crowd, speckled with various pharmaceutical reps. Soon we're approached by "Austin," a good-looking 20 something wearing a $120 t-shirt and a Rolex. He starts chatting us up, asking us where we work, etc. Turns out he's a realtor. "Ooh, I'm sorry," I reply. He shoots me a dirty look. "What's wrong with that?"
"Uh...the markets?" Is he retarded?
"Oh, that. Nah. I'm doing pretty good still. Just sold a million-five over in PV last month. And it's a buyer's market baby. Fire sale. You ladies in the market for a new place?"
We say no. He shrugs, talks to us for a few more minutes, then ambles off.
A half an hour later I'm making my way to the bathroom when I see Austin the realtor stud at the bar. He's trying to catch my eye, then waves me over to him, like he's suddenly really excited to see me.
"Hey...Ariel?" I nod.
"Like you to meet Gary. He's a great guy. Runs golf tournaments and owns several businesses up north, looking to expand in SoCal."
Gary is at least 60, trying to look 35. Way expensive new jeans, shiny shirt, hairplugs, Just For Men. He looks strangely thrilled to meet me.
"How ya doin' honey. Buy you a drink?"
"No thanks - I'm actually headed for the bathroom."
Austin cuts in. "Stay and chat with us for a little while. Gary was telling me this great story about a - Hammerhead shark? he caught off the coast of Catalina. That's gnarly dude." He pushes me towards him.
Gary practically giggles in response and tries to squeeze my knee. I quickly turn and move away. "Gotta go, nature is calling."
Austin tries to protest but I'm gone. I go to the bathroom, and as I'm making my way back over to my seat I see Austin out of the corner of my eye, still next to Gary, Viagra spokesman. Austin is standing up, trying to wave me back over like he's landing a 747. I ignore him. I hear him yelling my name, Gary starts to get up and do the same. I grab my girlfriend. "We are so outta here."
"Wha-?"
"Fucking realtor dude thinks I'm a brand new condo."
