A twenty something non-virgin

I just finished watching a DVD that one of my siblings had gotten me for Christmas: The unrated version of The Forty Year Old Virgin. And do you know what he said when he gave me this gift? The character Andy Stitzer played by Steve Carell reminded him of me.

Wow. He does not know how angry I was after hearing that. Seven days later and I'm still steamed about it. I will grant you that the movie was quite hillarious and I laughed heartily while watching it, but I did not appreciate the insinuation nor the additional reminder that I was still single and not getting any. And in some respects, yes, I must truthfully admit it: I do have some personality traits that resemble that character in the movie. (And no, I am not a virgin. Nor am I hairy.)

There are also some personal parallels that I have in common as well: I used to work in shipping at some unnamed fancy clothing retail store. I also remember being pulled out to go help customers wearing a dirty pair of jeans and a t-shirt. My female boss did not hit on me or make any inappropriate offers though. And I have to say, what an education I got when I was told to inventory the intimates section. (Wait, that's two pieces of string tied together, isn't it supposed to cover anything?) I also can't say that I've been given anybody's phone number.

I, too, own a bike, however, being currently unemployed, I don't bike to work. (I have been conteplating riding to school. Too bad there's no safe place to keep the bike.) And before I bought myself a nice new mountain bike two years ago, I was riding a ten year old Huffy that had definitely seen better days. Steel alloy is really heavy compared to aluminum I can tell you.

What personality traits do I have that are similar to Steve Carell's Andy? Well, I'm shy, introverted, relatively reliable and too nice for my own good. And now, apparently the butt of jokes related to not getting any.
