The joy of IM

My friend Red and her beau, who we shall call Cih-ho-te, had this conversation over instant messenger today. Had this convo happened in person it probably wouldn't have ended quite as funny as it does.
It's kind of long...but totally worth it in the end! Thank you Red and Cih-Ho-Te for giving me something to blog about today.

RED says:
I just walked out into the hallway to get a file and the copier salesman was out there.
RED says:
He said, "Wow! I love your shirt!"
RED says:
"Pink is my favorite color!"
RED says:
Huge guy. Gruff voice. Not gay sounding.

CIH-HO-TE says:
Mine too!

RED says:
So, I kind of giggled at him and when I walked past him again he said, "Please don't get me in trouble. I didn’t mean anything by that..."
RED says:
WTF????

CIH-HO-TE says:
No kidding isn't that some type of harassment?

RED says:
What?
RED says:
Are you kidding?

CIH-HO-TE says:
Ok so why would someone say that if they didn't mean anything by that
CIH-HO-TE says:
No I'm not kidding that has to be sometype of harassment at your job
CIH-HO-TE says:
That doesn't make sense
CIH-HO-TE says:
Have you saw him there before
CIH-HO-TE says:
?
CIH-HO-TE just sent you a nudge.

RED says:
He doesn't work for the hospital. I've seen him before, but I've never talked to him.
RED says:
I didn't know what to say so I just laughed and told him that I wouldn't tell anyone that pink was his favorite color.
RED says:
Then after I got back to my office I realized how weird it was.
RED says:
I don't think it's harassment to tell someone that you like their clothes. I just think it's bizarre.

CIH-HO-TE says:
That is wierd

RED says:
I'm not even showing cleavage today!

CIH-HO-TE says:
But he said he liked your shit! Then backed off and changed it to a pink shirt
CIH-HO-TE says:
Hmmmmmm?

RED says:
Ummm. I have a pink shirt on.

CIH-HO-TE says:
I'm just saying I was born at night but if I told someone I like their shit I am either a sick freak or I want to get into her pants

RED says:
I think you need to re-read what I told you he said.
RED says:
He said he liked my PINK SHIRT!

CIH-HO-TE says:
Oh I thought it was shit not shirt
CIH-HO-TE says:
Ooops

RED says:
My shit is pretty fabulous, though.
