Even THAT Person

Even THAT girl/guy (you know who I'm talkin' about)...
Everyone has those people at school or work or in their circle of friends where, comparatively, if something good happens to them and not you, it is totally incomprehensible!! Example: You've been invited to a party or function where it would be more socially acceptable to have a date accompany you. (Either that or you are dreadfully single and can't stand going to another one of these things stag). So, you begin mentally screening who would be the best person to bring that will a) not embarrass you, and b) actually make you look good. Glory! You've found the perfect person! But they have to work because they still work in Service Industry, the party is on a Friday night, and they can't get off work. You get there and there they are THAT girl/guy. You scraped your brain trying to find someone to go to this party with, everyone had other plans or couldn't make it, but THAT girl/guy... the one in high school that seemed like they had acne since birth. They were made fun of so bad in school that you actually thought their legal name was "Crotch Stain". Or during work hours, they are the ones that people literally run from to avoid any conversation with this "Hercules of Halitosis". Even THEY have a date. Of all people, THEY have a husband/wife. Even THEY have an obnoxiously wide, crooked-tooth-showing smile on their still-ugly-after-all-these

-years face..... WHY??!! We - the marginally attractive, well-rounded people of the world - don't we deserve happiness or at least something to compensate for the fact that we have NOBODY?! Yes, we do. Unfortunately, the person you get the closest to is the bartender and the only words you utter all evening is, "I'll have another one."
