I win at life!

I got the housing assignment I wanted for my college~ So while I'll technically have three roommates, I'll get my own room (i.e. privacy), be in the center of campus, go to class in pajamas, and get "free" food exclusive to people in my RC!

I'm in awe :O No freshman should be this lucky!

I was waiting for my mother outside of a bathroom in a local Starbucks, when a really creepy middle-aged man (pseudo-child molester I can only hope) suddenly started talking to me. Obviously all good stories take place in front of a restroom

Guy: That's a nice purse. (Note: he had the physique and bone structure of a pig with the voice of Thenardier from Les Miz, which didn't make this experience any less awkward)
Me: Oh, thank you very much.
*Looks straight at my butt for a minute*
Guy: Your hair's really nice. You're pretty cute.
Me: *starts scooting away* Uh, that's great.
Guy: Where are you from?
Me: That direction *points one way and runs the other*

I hid behind a pillar to avoid detection. However, unfortunately for me, as soon as my mother came out of the bathroom, she started calling out my name, waving vigorously in my general direction. The guy saw me and smiled disturbingly. I ran out of the store like a maniac. My mother sloooowly followed behind. I then hid behind a nearby storefront and called my mom to follow since the man was still looking for me. Officially freaked out now, I tried to (wildly) hand signal my mother to come quickly, but, as if to spite me, she stopped right in front of the guy and cheerfully decided now was the best time to organize her purse. Much to my chagrin, she takes five minutes to arrange said purse. Meanwhile, I'm making the universal hand signals for "DANGER" and "ESCAPE WHILE YOU STILL CAN," but, being my mother, she thinks I'm crazy. Parent-child telepathic connection is FAIL. At this point, the guy finally had spotted me outside and looked like he was going for the chase. My only option was to abandon my mother and hoof it. Good story.

Now that I think about it, this is the second time I've been accosted by a creepy middle-aged man outside of a bathroom. And both times I had been waiting for my mother o_O
