Worst Kiss
There is an art to kissing. There really is.
Ironically, my worst kiss was somewhere along the lines of my first kiss, but many years later.
It was a Superbowl Sunday and my phone rang just before kickoff from a friend who wanted to know if he could come over and watch the game because his wife was sleeping or some such nonsense.
Being clueless, the way I am, I didn't realize he was making a play for me at first. He portrayed himself as a nice guy.
Suddenly, I realized that I was sitting on the arm of my couch. He had slowly encroached upon my territory until that was where I wound up. I didn't notice it until then, honestly. He was a slick maneuver-er, that one.
About the time I realized how he had backed me into a corner, or the edge of the couch anyway, he makes his move and plants a kiss on me.
It was the worst kiss I've ever had. No tongue, grinding his lips into mine until it hurt. Good lord. No finesse, no sophistication whatsoever.
To say I was flabbergasted would be putting it mildly. This was such a bad kiss that it is the first time I can recall instantly hating someone I had previously thought well of. It is rare to catch me speechless but I think perhaps the look of disgust on my face said a lot.
Not only that, his wife was a friend of mine and I had a lot of respect for her.
He then proceeded to back it up by spreading all kinds of ugly rumors about me. Did I mention he was my boss at the time? Yeah, there was that.
Karma does have a way of taking care of these things, though.
I think he finally got out of jail.

Just when I start thinking that people are basically good...I sincerely hope you never had to deal with this guy again.
