The top two stories are leagues behind all the stories below them. Is this a serious list or a joke?

What it is is a popularity contest. If someone votes for a hundred books, their number one pick gets a hundred points. If someone votes for only one book... that book still gets a hundred points. And most people who vote don't vote for many books. So, individual rankings are practically irrelevant in determining the top few spots in popular lists. It's just a question of which books in the list have been read and liked by the most people.

I wonder if somebody could help me find a shor t story.
I am quite sure that I read it in around 1975. It was in
a high school textbook anthology book.
It was about an attractive girl who was asked out by
a not particularly attractive guy and she mocked him
and somehow at the end she was turned into being a girl
with a medusa head.
I am fairly sure that this is a fairly recent short story.

I was helped there with the name of a book in about two days.
Good luck
