Last Friday, I made a pit stop at Burger King to pick up breakfast before hopping onto the freeway for the long and arduous commute to work. I was in an unusually good mood for some reason -- maybe because it was Friday, who knows.
The girl working the drive-thru was a worker I'd seen there before, and she always seemed like she gave me a warmer and more personal smile and greeting than your typical fast-food employee. So, when I pulled up this particular day and she said "Good morning"... on a whim, mind you... I replied, "I don't really like the food here, I just come to see you."

Now, I know what you're thinking: that it was just a ploy to get cheesy tots. But no, they don't sell those any more, remember? (sniff)
A couple of things you need to know about me: I am TERRIBLE at perceiving when a woman is flirting with me. Also, I am not much of a flirt at all myself, especially if I don't plan to follow through on it. And in this case, I don't; the girl can't be more than 25 (and might even be less than that), way too young for me. But you know what? After I said that, she got the BIGGEST smile on her face.
So, to sum it all up, I was in a good mood, and then I put someone else in a good mood. Well, whaddaya know -- you really CAN have it your way.

11 insane rambling:
First, word for making her day.
9/07/2006Second, how do you do that read more thingy? I've been trying for the life of me to do this, but can't figure it out!
You sly devil! I hope you got a wink and a smile.
9/07/2006Way to go Jim, if you keep that up with everyone you meet not only will the world be a happier place (happiness and smiling is infectious you know) but also you will just do it one day to the person who will be your forever.
9/07/2006Good going.
It's all about the "tude dude" LOL ;o) YOu big flirt!
9/07/2006Who are you trying to kid...YOu are one of the biggest cyber flirts there are...Right up there w/ Rev smokin steve. ;o)
OH, BTW, Haw is your MEMEMEM coming??? LOL ;o)
Isn't flirting the best? I love to flirt, especially with the passing stranger.
9/07/2006My husband has the similar "flirt blindness". I'll point out to him that a girl was flirting with him and he'll look at me like I'm nuts "She was just being nice". Cute, and probably why I fell for him - he doesn't succumb to feminine wiles ;)
PS - my word verification was jokrqt - Joker Cutie!
Next time you can drop off one of your new www.jimmckee.comn bumber stickers and then she will know ALL about you... (and you and her)
9/07/2006Oh yea, and make sure she likes cats *wink*
Well done, Jim; I'm sure you'll get an extra-large cheeseburger next time.
9/07/2006You've still got it, Jim.

Yaxlich never knows when women are flirting with him. Mainly because they don't.
9/08/2006As long as you didn't pull a Joe Cullen (Lions asst. coach) at the drive-thru, you'll be okay.
9/08/2006Way to go, Jim. Even if it's not a love connection, sounds like you made her day with a bit of flattery. :)
