Gross old men

[moekosowl]

Ok, not exactly a work story here...
I was 19, waiting for a city bus on a cold day, wearing a large shapeless coat, carrying a backpack, and with my hair a mess from the wind. I probably looked about 15 or sixteen.

So, I get on the bus, take out my book, start doing my medical transcription homework on medical terminology...a guy says "Hey, Miss.." and I look up.

He asks me "Have you ever dated a 32 year old?"
I put on my shocked look and sat in the seat closest to the driver for the rest of the ride. She was the kind that would not put up with anything.

I posted this story before, but I'll retell it. I had just walked my little guy up to the school and was walking back when some guy sitting in his SUV across the street from me told me he needed a wife. Uhh, okay. I walk on and he is yelling if I would want to be his wife. I told him I'm already someone's wife. He asks if I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure.

Can we say creepy?

I saw him at a school function later, and pointed him out to my husband. The guy saw me standing there holding my husband's hand and saw the look my husband was giving him and tried to get as far away from us as possible.

Way back when I first started at the big red S, the uniforms we had to wear were dresses. Lucky us...

One evening while I was facing the dairy cooler, standing on the shiny metal ledge of the case to reach the top shelf, I noticed an old guy standing beside me, kind of looking down. I asked if I could help him with anything and he said: Yeah, can you move your legs farther apart so I can see the reflection better?
For a few seconds I was too shocked to say anything, then I actually told him to F*** Off and get out of the store or I'd call management. I found out later that he was harassing a lot of the female employees so they banned him from the store.

BTW, I was wearing underwear and pantyhose, so don't be thinking perverted thoughts!

Being a guy who works primairly in a fry kitchen and a computer shop, I don't exactly have to deal with pervs. Aside from this one flaming homosexual (And I really mean this-he was a walking stereotype) who kept staring at me one day at McHell. But, he didn't do anything else, so I didn't really care. My policy is: If you're so inclined to look, knock yourself out. Just don't go any further.

However, I did 'save' one of my female friends at work from a creepy old guy. I was coming into shift, and I could hear some freaky old guy hitting on her. So, when I walked in, I just casually walked up as she was getting some drinks and gave her a quick hug, in clear view of the creepy old guy. At the same time, I gave him a glare of pure loathing.
He backed off pretty fast.

I had one repeat arsehole who kept coming through my line and asking me to watch pornos with him! He even once did it when his WIFE was there! She said, "Oh, he's just got a weird sense of humor."

What's worse than a perverted (old) man? One with a wife who lets him get away with saying such things...IN FRONT OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Retail Associate]

You know, that line never works for me either.

Rapscallion

That quote just made my day!

[AFpheonix]

They didn't notice this quick movement, so first old fart jumped onto the machine, started to push with his usual gusto, and promptly fell off the machine, grabbing at his nuts and screaming. I found out later that apparently, something herniated that I wasn't aware could herniate. Oops? Guess that's why you're supposed to check your weights before you start...

Oh my god, I read this to my husband and we both proceeded to pee our pants laughing

Yeah, I didn't get that either. If that had been my husband, I would have scolded him and apoligized to the girl for his behavior, at the very least! (More likely, he'd have been wearing my handprint on his face for a while!) Makes you wonder what kind of relationship they had for him to openly disrespect her like that.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I know! I think I have even less respect for the women who put up with crap than the man doing it.

Man would have a doc martin shaped dent in his gonads.

And what's worse than that? A wife that blames you for her husband's inappropriate behaviour. That's the one that always p*sses me off! You've got this dirty old man leering at you and making inappropriate remarks, which is bad enough, but now you have to deal with his bitter old battle-ax of a wife acting like you are the whore of Babylon, luring her innocent husband with your hussy-like whiles. Yes, ma'am, I've got a thing for liver spots and ear hair, so I shamelessly flirt with all male customers over 65 in hopes that one of them will leave his wife and take me away to a magical land filled with Ben-Gay and trusses.

Edit: No offense intended to anyone over 65, unless you behave inappropriately with sales-clerks. I have no problem with people who behave decently, no matter what age they are.

[Plaidman]

Never had really any real indecent behavior towards me, (Cept the giant old lady who shouted beer as she flashed me)

But I did have a creepy 20ish gay man wrote a rather long note about how I was hot, and would teach me things and do things that no woman can do.

[Jester]

Um, I don't think you have too much mothering instinct, especially being in FL. I've been there once, and I don't really wanna go back. Well, let me rephrase that, I've been to Miami once, and I don't wanna go back.

I LIVE in Florida and don't want to go back to Miami!

But I have to say, being a DOMIT (Dirty Old Man In Training), this whole thread offends me to my very being, and I am going to complain to your manager about this absolutely horrendous and rude behavior! (Ad-libbing SC type crap here.)

[braindead]

Dirty old men sometimes make me laugh in my business. They only know my voice. muahahahahha.

I will shamelessly admit to softening my voice and letting them flirt a bit if they are going to buy something. However I have one.

The worst would have to be an 86 year old man telling me I was to old (23) and he was out to find a 19yr old.

I have hung up on a few that called to try and talk dirty. I just wonder what kind of questions they would have come up with had they have gotten a man.

My very first job was at the bookstore on campus at the university. I had just graduated from a private catholic school and had led a pretty sheltered life.

Anyway, I was working the cash register and a non-traditional student (read: late 30's I think) comes through my line and immediately starts asking ambiguously sexual questions. I was immediately shocked, and decided to just be rude to make him go away. I just looked at him and said- "Wow, you're pretty old and you're still short, that can't be thrilling". He wasn't fazed at all and said, "I look taller laying down". And I said, "Well, I'll never get to see that thank god". And he finally left. I hadn't even turned 18 yet (I graduated a year early) and slimy guy pushing 40 was being lecherous.

I would occasionally see him when I was getting off work after dark, so I called campus security to walk me to my car. I mean, come on, am I really supposed to be SOOOOO FLATTERED that he gave me attention? Get real.

[JustaCashier]

I dunno what the heck that was all about.....Maybe it was the Security Uniform I was wearing at the time?

Maybe she liked your baton!
