I was looking at some rugs in HomeSense last night.. and this guy walks up out of nowhere..
Guy: "Hi, what's your nationality?"
Me: (with a bit of a raised-eyebrow look as I was quite engrossed in my rug contemplations) "Umm.. I'm Dutch.."
Guy: "And your name?"
Me: "Seashell" (well okay, I told him my real name)
Guy: "How do you spell that?"
I spelled it for him, though the 20 questions game was starting to unnerve me a little... Dude, who are you? Do you work here? Are you the rug salesman? What?
He takes out of his pocket, what looks to be a business card and starts writing on it..
Guy: "I'm going to give this to you, because I know you're curious."
Me: (I'm really just wondering if this rug would go with the sofa in my livingroom) "Okay..."
He hands me the card. This is what it says:
"Hello!! It's very nice to meet you _____ (<-- he's written my name in there). I hope you have a pleasant day!
And then listed his home phone, cell phone and pager number.
Ummm....
Guy: "I saw you walk by over there.. and I knew you were a great person, I could tell your personality was very nice. So I wanted to come and meet you, and wish you a pleasant day. Whenever you feel comfortable, you call me, we'll hook up".
Um, comfortable is definately one of the things I'm NOT feeling right now.
The card approach was really odd to me, he's clearly printed off a whole bunch of those and what... just gives them to any female he sees walking by? Not flattering. Also strange, the presumption that I was single.
Anyway, he was way older than me, and also...kinda dirty.
I was polite, but the whole thing was weird though. 
So now tell me your strange pickup stories..
And ladies..what do you think of the business card thing.. cheesy or practical? Not the self-made one that this guy did, that's all bad, but in general.
Again with the monster post.. sorry.. I'm a blabberface lately
