Is that really the best line? She has to leave to take advantage of it.
Maybe, “hey, how'd your husband's parole hearing go?”?
"Hello my dear friend, your excessively muscular husband is outside asking for you. They won't let him in on account of the firearms he is carrying. Oh hello fine sir, I did not see you there, pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm an heiress of the McDonald laminate empire (no relation hahaha), and have a black belt in karatay, charmed I'm sure. We know each other (pointing at the woman)."
I prefer this because it makes the physical threat more present and believable (and doubly so, bc of the inclusion of the black belt) while also establishing personal dominance.
It makes it clear what the random girl is trying to do, and allows the girlfriend to reply with anything from “not yet, let’s take a break over there” to “yeah I’m ready let’s go”.
How many times have you thought of the perfect response to someone hours after the fact?
It’s good that she stepped in to offer help at all.
It's so common the French have a two (or four I don't speak French or apostrophe) words for it. L'esprit d'escalier. Wit of the step stack hallway.
Hey we also say this xD
Treppenwitz meaning staircase joke
TIL, thanks for sharing
I guess we should just applaud?
It's good she said something, I agree. She could also have said something better, and mine came after about 7 seconds, not hours.
I guess you're just much better at responses than this made up woman in this meme format. Congrats?
My wit is but a pale shadow of this made up woman's courage.
You just had to make it known to us all how much better you are than her.
Applause all around.
I also salute your courage in defending her. Truely selfless act of sacrrfice. You are my personal hero.
Calling men out for their weird ego trips on imaginary women is just a fun little hobby of mine, what can I say?
I appreciated your comments and humor. Don't you dare give a damn to those comments and downvotes you're getting, have a nice day ;)
Could have left a better reply.
Wow don't be a dick, if you want a stranger's help to meet a standard get a contract signed and pay them
I'm pretty sure this happened days or years ago so you're way later than you think
That sounds much less organic and believable.
Nah, this reinforces the idea that men only ought to behave when there's another man to keep them "in line".
Understandable when necessary for physical safety.
I reckon that gym woman's original wording was perfect.
On one hand, there is a chance she would've wanted to accept the date and this would be blocking her.
On the other hand, it's genuinely much more funny lmao.
No, because if Girl A was interested she would have the option to turn down Girl B very easily.
Girl B is giving Girl A the option for a clean out, which is all that is needed to help someone out of an awkward situation.
It's better than no line I guess.
