Inappropriate
Today is apparently trying its best to be The Day That Breaks Me.
Super-Creepy Older Guy w/ Staring Eyes: “Hey, big man.”
Me: “Excuse me??!”
SCOGwSE: “I said… hello.”
Me: “Um, okay. How can I help you?”
SCOGwSE: “I have a credit card with a very high credit limit that I have lost.” (Pauses to stare at me creepily.)
Me: “…okay.”
SCOGwSE: “But I don’t remember who the credit-card provider is. (Stare, stare.) I was wondering if you have a book that would list different providers, so I could find out who mine is.”
Me: “!”
SCOGwSE: (STARE.)
I find a few possible candidate books, and take him over to the stacks. He proceeds to stand RIGHT NEXT TO ME and, you guessed it, continues stare unblinkingly. None of the books are what he is looking for.
Me: “So… you don’t get a statement from the provider?”
SCOGwSE: “(StarestareSTARE) No. Uh, thanks for helping me, though. (Stare)”

THIS is why I say I don’t want anyone hitting on me at work. Because when they do, it’s always mouthbreathing creeps that make me want to take out a restraining order. :P

Seriously, I hope the quality of the clientele gets better today!

I giggled about this for at least ten minutes! But, only because I can relate!! As a woman (and, as my boyfriend says:”No offense, but you’re not very strong”) I try not to walk into the stacks with them!
I once had a guy (with less rather than more teeth) say to me: “I was think/wondering, if you were, such inclined, about sometime, taking an . . ., in accom/ . . . with me.
Me: Um . . . (eyebrows contracted in polite concentration while brain is whirring wildly to determine what just happened) Um, no thank you. I have a boyfriend.
Tooth less guy: Oh, you have a boyfriend?
Me: Yes.
Tlg: Okay. Thank you ma’m.
As least he was trying to be polite!
Stare, stare!! All I can think is that he was trying to tell you he had ready cash for your one night stand on the town!!

Ha! I really don’t have it that bad if this is my only “being-hit-on-inappropriately-at-work” story, huh? :D
