I have a nice what?

Funny story to tell you about my experience this morning. I was filling my car up with gas at my local Kangaroo Station minding my own business. I hear someone's voice but am not paying attention. Then the voice gets louder..."Hey, you! Good morning to ya." I look over to see a middle-aged African American gentleman who is staring at me while pumping his gas. I notice his Crown Vic and badge on his hip. I kindly say, "Good morning," and leave it at that. He continues, "You have a nice ...." Hmm. What did he say? I repeat, "I have a nice vehicle?" He shakes his head and repeats, "You have a nice figure!"

What the meth? Hold the phone! Who says this to a total stranger at 7 a.m. in the morning while pumping gas? There are so many things wrong with this that I can point out. Like he's a good 20 years older than me. Creepy. But even someone closer to my age wouldn't make that statement acceptable. Second, did he really think that line would work? Has someone fallen for it before? Third, in order to comment on my figure, he must have been staring at me as I pumped my gas. This gave me the heebie geebies! (I like that word. I should use it more often) Anyway, if you're wondering my response, I tried my best to play it cool. It probably didn't look that way. I said, "Thank you, but I would have to disagree." I hurried into my ninJetta and got out of there!

What shall I take away from this experience? That some men really do like thick, curvy women? That I need to stay away from this Kangaroo gas station? That I can't help that I'm a beautiful, sexy lady? :)

What shall you take away from this experience? 1- DON'T think you can hit on a stranger with the line, "You have a nice figure." If that is the first, well technically second sentence you've ever said to them, then you need to reevaluate yourself and understand what is and is not socially acceptable behavior. 2- That I can't help I'm a beautiful, sexy lady. Ha! Kidding on the last one.

Anyway, hope this has been entertaining. Will post more later about a day in the life of me! :)
