Dear Baba Rumcake,
I’m at a bar and someone I’m talking to asks, “So, if I give you my number will you call me?”
I responded with a simple smile of flattery and a verbal “No.”
He thought I was rude for saying that and told me so. I resisted saying he was rude for asking such a loaded question.
So, which is ruder?
Tell the person no, you won’t call him. It might hurt their feelings, but they know where they stand.
Tell the person yes, you’ll call and then let them wait for a phone call which will never come, and eventually causes them to think you’re a jerk for making an empty promise.

God’s Lonely Man Not Alone
Dear Baba Rumcake,
Loneliness has followed me my whole life.
Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There’s no escape. I am God’s lonely man…
Dear Lonely Man,
Cheer up. You could be a loner who has the knack of attracting people and getting harassed day and night by their worthless drivel. But, it sounds to me that you have a pretty decent handle on things and they leave you the hell alone. [Read more…] about God’s Lonely Man Not Alone
