Meet Ugly Bingo Card 2-28-19

[ysabetwordsmith]

Here are my cards for the Meet Ugly Bingo Fest over in allbingo. It has two different categories: Situations, and Words and Phrases. I have decided to play both. The idea is that two characters meet in a horrible situation, but somehow wind up liking each other anyway. This seems so apt for black hats and white hats! The fest runs from March 1-31. (See all my 2019 bingo cards.)

If you'd like to sponsor a particular square, especially if you have an idea for what character, series, or situation it would fit -- talk to me and we'll work something out. I've had a few requests for this and the results have been awesome so far. This is a good opportunity for those of you with favorites that don't always mesh well with the themes of my monthly projects. I may still post some of the fills for free, because I'm using this to attract new readers; but if it brings in money, that means I can do more of it. That's part of why I'm crossing some of the bingo prompts with other projects, such as the Poetry Fishbowl.

Underlined prompts have been filled.


SITUATIONS

We have been chatting online for three years and today I learned your profile picture isn't you	You are the slowest clerk I have ever seen at a grocery store. How have you not been fired? Oh shit you're disabled. I'm a horrible person	We are in the same fitness class and your workout noises sound like a porno
Dear sir/ma'am: you are not allowed to claim both arm rests at the movie theater. That one is mine. I will fight you	We are sharing an office and I find your calls to your ex disturbing	There's a lot of guys in red suits in this restaurant and we are pretty sure they're a cult. Now we have to escape together
I'm just trying to get on this bus. You are running from the police	You were shopping and mistook me for someone who works in this store. I decide to mess with you instead of telling the truth	What are you doing in my garage?

WORDS AND PHRASES

personal space	broke student	unwanted opinion	car chase	short temper
bystander	alcohol	secret exposed	fight	jail time

(Sorry if this gets posted twice, I seem to be having some 'net squirrliness tonight)

Yes ...

Twice, but I know how that goes. I hope it quits soon.

Sadly i've been through the shopping one in rl so often (usually while decked out in my jobs uniform which is a study in penguin suit... And all of the nearby competitors and other franchises range from garish to eyesearing) that i usually cant resist the urge to do some mild trolling. Normally its to wryly point out that clearly my employeer is really stretching as they went from food to powertools ect. But ive pulled the classic "but im on break" card too.

"You were shopping and mistook me for someone who works in this store. I decide to mess with you instead of telling the truth."

Heeheehee

I've been sooo tempted...

Now, imagine Shiv, skittish like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, goes into a store and happens to be wearing the same color shirt as the clerks. He's minding his own business, doing shopping for the Blues Moon, and some entitled person comes up and *demands* that he stops lollygagging and helps them *right* *now*, complete with threatening to "talk to his manager".

So Shiv is annoyed and amused, and decides to royally fuck with the entitled customer, then slips out when he's done. Said customer then complains vociferously to the manager, who is confused because no one with that description works there. Entitled jerk gets put in their place and humbled, Shiv gets a good story to tell back at the Blues Moon. More fun if the entitled jerk ends up at the Blues Moon and has their error rubbed in their face again.

Am I evil? Well, I'd probably be a gray cape... ;)

LOL

I have printed this out, and may use it for the fishbowl as an alternate to the theme.

A backchannel prompt for the Meet Ugly bingo inspired the free-verse poem "Bitter Melon." Shiv is shopping in an Asian market when someone mistakes him with staff, and he decides to fuck around with her instead of just being honest.

This kind of thing could be interesting. I don't think I've ever done anything like that before. I can only think of one time when something like that has happened to me personally, when a bully I had in my youth became my best friend and then my first lover.
