This post will serve as a permanent reminder of how blockheaded people can be.
This sculpture is on North Pearl Street, in front of Capital Rep. If you look closely you will see it is a man without arms or a head, but is anatomically correct in another area. I did not realize it at the time, which is how this incident came to occur.
We had spent the afternoon together, played miniature golf, and I could kind of overlook him saying 'ha.ha' when he won a hole, and I could kind of overlook him saying things that he imagined made him superior to others, such as how HE never watched American Idol, or HE never litters, or how HE doesn't like anyone who locks their car with a noisy remote...
My new 'friend' says to me, 'Let me take your picture with the statue', so I stand next to it, and he snaps a picture. Then he says "You were standing next to the 'schlong' and smiling"... which really gave him a look of smug satisfaction. I made him delete the picture of course, but that in itself is not the issue.
The bottom line is that he made me feel bad, on purpose. He displayed a behavior that I do not accept of someone who wants to be my friend...I never expect a friend to try to make me look stupid, to laugh AT me instead of WITH me. That was the unforgivable thing that I couldn't overlook.
