A Little Filter Goes a Long Way - On Your Mouth

By
Real Estate Agent with Aspen Lane Real Estate Colorful Colorado CRE# 40005863

Yesterday I was busy running around town getting the last items needed for the upcoming Thanksgiving feast.

 

Of course, this pumpkin pie is not one that I have made, but boy it is pretty.  (sorry I digress...)

 

I was buzzing down the frozen section when a dorky guy in shorts, sweatshirt, black shoes and black socks can wondering up to me.  He looked me right in the eye as he approached and said, "If I weren't married, I'd be hitting on you right now."

 

My first thought was, good thing I am a lady or I would punch you in the face.

 

But instead of thinking out loud, I smiled and walked away to catch up with my husband.  Thankfully I was wearing my wedding ring.

 

As we approached the check out area, I saw El Creepo in line with his wife.  I felt really sorry for her.  

 

What is wrong with people sometimes?  Did he really think I would take his inappropriate behavior as a compliment or think he was somehow really cool? 

 

And why would anyone wear black shoes and black socks with shorts.

 

My California Girl persona surfaced immediately and thought
"Dude - you are a major dork".

Hi Belinda - That was really obnoxious, and it's a shame that some people still think that's acceptable behavior. I admire your restraint.

Belinda,

Oh my!  I am wondering who his wardrobe consultant is?  Black shoes and black socks?  He would not last in our neck of the woods.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. A

Hi Belinda, I don't know what's wrong with people, why do they think this is OK? I give you a lot of credit for just walking away.

Bold and brash is what he is. I agree, his wife doesn't deserve that. You handled it graciously.

I've heard that the produce section of the grocery store is a good place to find a date, Belinda.  But, the guy needs a new line. . .

Oh I so agree with you, Belinda. This dude is just gross on many fronts. Bletch. I can't stand folks who have no respect or loyalty to their partners. And don't even get me started on his wardrobe. Lol.

True story: a guy was recently arrested for following and harrassing ladies in a local retail store. I'm sure there is more to the story, but consider yourself lucky that you were at the store with your husband. We need to be aware of creeps like this.

Hi Belinda - a trip to the AR archives allows me (and anyone else)  to visit you once again.
