Customers who hit on you

[GingerBiscuit]

I get a fair few of my customers flirting with me. I don't see why- I guess I'm average to slightly above in terms of attractiveness, but I rarely wear makeup or make any effort at work, and ou uniforms make me look like a shapeless, unwell zombie.

I don't mind if it's respectful and flattering. I hate 'alrigh' darlin'! Wanna go have some fun?! *wink*'

[Broomjockey]

As I'm completely oblivious, I don't think I have ever been hit on at work. Probably the closest I've come was on the way to work on the bus a girl struck up a conversation with me about my book and we had a quick conversation. It was a basic "drive-by" flirt, in, out, low rejection, fond memories...

Now, as for you, C_C...

[Andara Bledin]

I've never really been hit on at any of my jobs. Most of them weren't really much in the way of customer interaction.

Well, actually, there was the one time I was manning the table for my mother and aunt at a craft show. This guy walked up, your typical really cute, 20-something surfer type. If it weren't for the fact that I was engaged, I totally would have gone out to dinner with him. The fact that he was about as dumb as a post would have meant I wouldn't have gone a second time, however. Sure was cute, tho.

^-.-^

When I was 20, I managed a jewelry store, and got a pretty decent discount there. One of my first purchases was a small sapphire and diamond "daisy" ring that I wore on my left ring finger for no reason. One night, about midnight, I was at the grocery store and this guy comes striding down the aisle towards me, stops in front of me, pulls my left hand out of my front pocket, sees the ring, goes "Oh, you're taken" and continues down the aisle and around the corner.



From the other side of the coin, I've used one line with 100% effectiveness rate:
Go up beside the guy, put my arm around him, smile, and say, "You look like somebody I ought to know." Now admittedly, I used this line in a bar each time, but I ended up dating long term each of the guys I've used it on.

And I'm not telling what I used on my current DH beyond "I'm inebriated..."

[RammsteinGirl]

I work at Kmart and I rarely EVER get hit on, but I consider myself pretty good looking. The only people that ever hit on me are usually old men, and still, that's pretty rare. Kinda makes me depressed!

Don't feel bad Rammstein girl.

I got really sick and tired of being hit on at work.....at the gas station I wore a men's small and medium POLO shirt for cripes sake....and at the factory all I wear are plain t shirts and plain jeans. Nothing fancy, nothing low cut........because my clothes can easily get stained with acid and etcher, and my jeans can easily be torn by machines....it's not worth wearing nice clothes anyway.

A month or so before I moved to my new apartment, I got my clothing allowance for work, and decided I was going to buy all my shirts in men's size Small and Medium. Not overly frumpy, still didn't fully hide my breasts and curves, but worked a bit better. My female coworkers said "Blas, you don't look like yourself......I don't like it, why don't you just keep wearing what you used to wear?" and of course, the pervy matienance men asked me, "How come you aren't wearing those tight shirts of yours anymore and showing off those big old titties anymore?"

Hearing a man 20 years my senior talking about my "big old titties" makes me feel extremely ill.

[Zell]

I wish those cute college girls hit on me...



And for the record, I'm 17 so it's OK for me to say that and not be creepy

[rerant]

Me: Is that credit or debit?
SC: Debit.
Me: Ok the machine is just behind me here. *points*
SC: So.. *hehe* I have to *hehe* get behind you to use the debit?
Me: Don't get cute with me.

Every elderly man who is grasping onto the last shred of his audacity: *looking at my peircings* What does it feel like to kiss with those things in? *drools*
Me: Like stabbing.

SC: You got a boyfriend?
Me: No.
SC: Can I get your number?
Me: No.
SC: Why not, you said you don't get a boyfriend.
Me: I have a girlfriend.
SC: Wanna bring her?
Me: She's bigger than you.

UGH from the anime con

Aside from my "real job," I work as the "Info Girl" for the local anime convention, and I regularly peruse our message boards for people who might need, well, info. (I also have the power to delete most spam and troll posts, as I have a lot of free time. Yay!)

This guy whose username was "dead" (clever, this one ) had posted a thread about how we should have conbadges color coded by age. Though he didn't say it, it seemed pretty obvious that his intentions were to know without asking which ones were f***able and not waste his time. (A HUGE pet peeve of mine is to talk about how your choice to flirt with unavailable/illegal women is a waste of your time.)

Since I wasn't absolutely sure, I decided to handle it in the politest manner I could, saying how that just wasn't doable, and for the most part wasn't necessary, and when it comes to his dating life, despite our reputations, women under the age of 40 don't usually mind telling you how old they are.

Well, he starts PMing me, claiming it was a joke and please leave it up because he wants to see how it plays out. After I say that's fine so long as the thread doesn't get out of hand, I get an IM from username involving the word "porn" (Oh yeah, that doesn't scream "pervert."), and he starts asking personal questions.

I got rid of him by telling him I had a boyfriend (which I did), but became concerned that he was doing this to every girl that replied to the thread. So, I locked the thread. (It was getting obscenely stupid anyway.) I haven't seen any activity from "dead" since, but, oh, it burns me just thinking about it! It's lechers like him that give the anime community such a bad rep.

And how sad are you that you are trying to pick up random girls off a message board with those usernames? The girl who falls for that has been taught nothing by her mother and should be pitied, not sexually harassed.

Personally, I love being flirted with casually, and if I think they're serious, I'll let them know if they don't have a chance (or if they do). But for other girls in the anime community: My first year, I had to deal with "Johnny Otaku." 'Nuff said.

I've worked in nursing homes and hospitals since I was 17, so you can guess what most of my 'flirt' stories consist of. I mean, geez, you're 85 years old and wheelchair bound, KEEP YOUR FREAKING HANDS TO YOURSELF.

You have my pity. I've seen some of the things that claim to be part of the "anime community" and they frighten me.

As I've mentioned before, I get hit on for my voice. Usually by older women. Occasionally, some men. >< Although I did have one woman try to vividly describe herself stripping down while on the line with me. I think I mentioned it before on here, but I don't remember.

I was completely ignoring her attempts, but she kept asking the occasionally valid question so I couldn't outright hang up.. Wish the recording was still around, but this was something like 2 years ago now. Still, our network admin laughed his ass off at it because of my timing. She had asked where she could buy tickets leading to this exchange:

"You know, I'm not wearing a top."
"-and you can buy them at London Drugs."

>.>

Have I ever told you guys the story of the "Big Boy" incident?

[Hon'ya-chan]

I rather not talk about it.

[blas]

I think I've mentioned this before, but it was in an older issue of either Cosmo or Glamour. The section where a question is asked before a panel of men, and it shows their picture/age/response. Anything from "What are the signs you're in love with a girl?" or "What do you like best in a girl?" to even "What would you do to get a girl?"

The question that month must have been called "How do you get a girl?" or something or another, because I remember vividly some moronic looking guy probably late 20s answer that if a girl tells him that she has a boyfriend, he asks for the guys' name and phone number so that he can call them up and congratulate them for having such a pretty girlfriend (or whatever). He basically brags that that's how he catches girls lying about having boyfriends because none of them will give him their bf's name or #. Well...first of all, who cares if I'm lying, as far as you're concerned, even if I'm single, I'm not available for you to take, and second of all, any guy in his right mind would probably be creeped out or get angry or suspicious if some random guy called him and said "Hey I just met your girlfriend. Wow is she a hottie. Good job buddy!"

That was a little longer than I intended, but unfortunately, they published that crap and I think a few too many men have applied that "scare tactic".......they caught me lying at the gas station about having a boyfriend and being engaged. Damn them all.

Oh well....some don't even seem to care even if you truly are engaged or married or serious with someone.

Actually, the incredible amount of bickering among staff is the only thing I mind. Most of the congoers are really cool, which made me want to do it in the first place, but this guy and Johnny both make me want to ring their necks.

Johnny had the brilliant idea to try to do his thing while my ex-boyfriend (but still loyal friend, and has issues about girls being treated bad) was right next to me. He was a half-step away from getting his ass handed to him by a catboy.

Why did I picture The Todd from Scrubs there?
