Revenge

 A friend of mine went to a conference in Atlanta.  She was in a hotel room, and sharing it with another woman she didn't know.  This other woman hit on my friend who told this woman she wasn't into women.  The woman went downstairs to the hotel bar and got drunk, leaving my friend in her room alone.
 When she got back from her conference, she told me that story.  I told her that we needed to get back at this woman, so I had my friend tell me her name and where she worked.  I also needed the city.  It turned out she worked in Charlotte and worked at a store in a local mall.  So, about a week later I headed up to Charlotte.  I went to that mall and found her working there.  I called her by name.  She looked at me blankly.  Then, I proceeded to tell her a total lie.
 I asked her if she remembered me.  She said no.  I said, "You don't remember me?  We met at a bar in the hotel in Atlanta about a week ago."  She still didn't remember me.  I then said, "We seemed to hit it off.  I bought you a drink, and you said that if I was ever in Charlotte to come look you up at your store, and we would go out and party."  At this point, she seemed to be buying my story, only because I had all of the facts right, and she had been drinking heavily, so it could be a true story.  I had never seen this woman before.  I then went on to ask her what time she got off?  She said that she was done at 6pm, so I told her I had some stuff to do in Charlotte, but I would be back at 6 to take her clubbing.  Still with that blank stare, she said okay.
 So, I left that store and drove back to Columbia.  I didn't take her out.  I was back in Columbia by 6pm.  The next day, I told my friend how the encounter went.  We had a good laugh about it.  I am sorry that the woman in Charlotte didn't get a date that night with me, but she wasn't really into guys after all.  And, she never knew that my friend told me about her.  It was perfect revenge.
