Creepy Men Stalkers and Perverts; the Life and Times of a Breathing Human With a Vagina
If there's any one thing I really don't like about being a girl, I'll have to say that being stalked by creepy guys is one of them.
Working at Borders is especially bad for that; the really strange guys seem to flock there and fall in love with every female that talks to them. The worst part is,none of us want to be mean;or can't, for that matter.We're supposed to be casual and friendly with the customers and keep people coming back. Yet at the same time, if you're not mean to them, these guys will simply not get the message.
Annoyance, avoidance, and a general sense of being creeped out insues.
I think this isn't as hard for me as it is for some of the other girls that work there- I think I'm a lot more obvious when I want someone to lay off a little... I try to let the guys get the point. But some of the other girls are too nice to say anything and are stalked-- BADLY- to the point where guys will follow them home and call Borders just to talk to them all the time. eughhhh
Right now this one guy in his 30s comes in EVERY DAY that I'm there, comes when I first start working and then leaves right when I leave. I WORK FOR NINE HOURS. HE STAYS AT BORDERS FOR NINE HOURS EVERY DAY. Today I saw him just sitting at a table in the cafe, positioned his chair in my direction, had no books, no coffee, nothing-- and was just STARING at me for who knows how long.
This guy isn't as bad as some of the guys I've dealt with, but right now hes the creepy guy of the week for me.
Not only do we have crazy stalker guys, but we also have old perverts. Oh wait, thats right, the world is full of them. But somehow they like to flock to borders. For example:
This old man in his 80s comes in everyday with his wife. Luckily, he hasn't said anything creepy to me, except for, "oh... i was just noticing those fancy designs right there on your shirt! let me take a better look at them!". I mean, I'm sure he loves looking at beadwork designs on t-shirts for a living. He told Ashley today that he still had the sexual stamina that he did when he was 20-something, and has also asked Janelle,"so do you have that tongue ring to give better head?".
Keep in mind that this guy is 80 and says these things while his wife (who writes Christian spirituality books)sits just a few feet away.
I mean, its actually kind of funny, but sickening at the same time.
I have tons of stories and examples of all of this, but will spare everyone from reading it all because it would take forever to read, and we all have other things to do in life- like updating myspace and reading other livejournals.
its sad but true.
That is all from me right now.
I wasn't even going to write about any of this, I had a more passionate idea that I wanted to type out about something much more important, but for some reason I just had to type this out.
