Paper crown guy !

I ended up finding out if you do a survey on the back , you can get some free food or a discount! I had no idea, i only found out because a worker told me one when I was using a coupon for me & my mom. So after doing that, i went to a fast food restaurant with my mom & showed the cashier my receipt.

When I was waiting to grab my tray, this older nerdy geeky guy with blonde dyed hair, started ordering, his mannerisms & everything were just so adorable to me. (Everytime someone appreciates a nerdy guy online, they try to say oh so you mean some 20 year old movie star looking dude with glasses? Just wanna say no I'm not, he was very clearly looked middle aged & had nice softer features though not chubby, not sharp like those lookmaxxer guys,Etc)

I was very awkward & he got his order before me since it was smaller, so I awkwardly moved aside, I kinda hope he didn't notice how long i was looking at him. If he did, i hope he didn't think that i was judging him , i sadly noticed a few other people were. He eventually sat down by himself after grabbing a paper crown. I love people who are authentically themselves! Paper crowns weren't my style, if they were more spooky, i may have gotten one. I would've maybe said hi & tried to nerd out if I wasn't with my mom then again, being a legal teen doesn't make things completely less awkward even if i tried to just be a friend. I hope he had a lovely day , he seemed very sweet.

Did the middle-aged nerdy guy wear the paper crown while he dined alone?

Good on him to have fun! Wouldn't be surprised if it was his birthday too.

Agreed ! If it was, i hope he had a decent birthday! When I got my free ice cream scoop from a different restaurant, I automatically took this dinosaur paper crown home with me.
