Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for April 16, 2013

indeed…and with someone better looking than the barista…

Barista Babe is way TOO young for Adam anyways.

It’s quite common here to call a woman, “Love”. It’s not meant as a sexual reference or in a condescending manner. If you bump trolleys in a supermarket – “Sorry, Love” is an acceptable apology.

Excellent instincts, Adam!

I think that’s unfortunate. I like it when a man opens a door for me.

What women have you guys been around? I find the attention flattering.

Amybe she was hired because she makes good coffee?

I see a very large tip being left on the table.

I hold doors open for men and women. It’s just being considerate, I think.

Oh oh.

Depends on where you are in the US, apparently, ‘cuz I’ve never had that happen to me.

Still, I hear you, and it’s not just the US that’s gotten to this point. It’s hard to go, do, or say anything without somebody seeing a “double-meaning” to it that, frankly, just isn’t there most of the time.

In the case of the comic, though, I think Adam’s right to be a bit nervous. Miss Barista IS giving mixed signals here. I can’t tell is she’s just being overly nice, or genuinely has an interest in Adam.

Too bad she’s not wearing lipstick.

Sounds like someone’s feeling guilty about something… lol

Hahahahaha!! It’s one thing to be flattered, Adam. It’s another to be flustered.

Not sure where you live, but many still open the door for women here. And I teach my girls to politely say “thank you!” whenever it happens.

As a matter of fact, a young man – and I mean young as in ten or eleven – heldthe door open for me this evening, and I said, “Why, thank you, sir.” In Baltimore, everybody is “Hon”, both men and women.

reminds me of a joke I haven’t seen posted yet:.A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.“Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping.Love You!”

Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, “Son, what happened last night?”His son says, “Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door”. Confused, the man asks, “So, why is everything in order and so clean, andbreakfast is on the table waiting for me?I should expect a big quarrel with her!”His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said,“LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I’M MARRIED!”
