Situation: 10 pm on a friday night at a 24 hour coffee shop.

I get this from time to time as I am working in the coffee shops, only on the weekends.

Apparently they think I am a loser because I am holed up in a coffee shop when everyone should be out partying.

Any good responses to this?

I have been going with:

"Is it friday already, damn my internal clock is all messed up"
"Your friday is my tuesday"
"Im still on the clock, that what happens when your clients are in different time zones"

How do I appear as not a chode when dicking around on a laptop at 10pm on a friday night at a local hometown coffe shop?

You have to get up early tomorrow Sat morning to do something, like mountain biking or something.

In NYC I'll say something like: "I party from Sunday to Thursday, the weekend is my time off".

Because it's not Friday night here

This, got work in the AM.

I prefer going out on Sat nights here at the Jersey Shore during the summer anyway.

When they've balked at an off-kilter meet-up time I've said:"I'm a musician, I don't play by worker-bee rules."

"Because I am."

"Should I be somewhere else?"

I thought this thread was going to be about spending too much time on the forum when you should be out chasing tail.

Me too. I frequently say what DLuzhin wrote above, solicited or not. In my case, it's come up when girls want to leave my apartment on Friday or Saturdays, rather than "just watch a movie."

"Fridays and Saturdays are amateur nights [or Junior Varsity nights]. Every sloppy drunk, attention-whoring club rat, and 'weekend warrior' is out crowding my favorite spot. Fuck that."

I sometimes ramble on and on about how "cool people go out Sunday through Thursday." Invariably, the girl agrees with me sooner or later. I never thought about it, but this is probably a so-called DHV.

I twisted my ankle a few weeks ago while doing a tri-athlon and the doc said I need to take it easy for a few weeks

Why would he be drinking coffee at 10 pm if he's gotta get up early the next day?

Aloha!

I would use a couple of different replies based on how I'm vibing with her:

"Don't want to completely ruin it for the little kids trying to learn the ropes"

or

"Clubs are boring. The party I'm going to doesn't start until very late"

Couldn't you ask the person the same question, considering they are there on a Friday night at 10pm too?

[Veloce]

I'll frequently ask this question just for shits and giggles and to get conversation going, regardless of what night it is or in what context. I'll ask a girl what brings her out to the bar on Monday or Friday, and act a little incredulous or teasing either way. You don't need a valid reason to tease.

When girls do it to ME though, I usually shrug and give the noise for, "I dunno" and act incredibly bored and change the subject. To me it comes off as a slight neg and the minute girls start pulling that shit I act negative in response to cut that shit short.

For the win.

Are you serious?


If some girl (or guy) asked me "Why are you here on a Friday night?", I'd turn it right around:


"For the same reason you're here"
