  • One Last Weirdo

    Went on maternity leave last week, and of course had to have one last...not so much sucky as creepy customer.

    At the Information Desk. Guy comes up. I waddle up to help him. He says,

    "Girl, someone loooooves you. I can tell you loved!"

    Yeah, someone loves me enough to marry me and have a baby with me. Is there a point in there somewhere?

    (I would have actually said that if I'd thought of it at the time)

    He tells me what he's looking for. Some New Age-y crap from a guy whose website he found on the Internet. Which usually means you can only get the book through this New Age-y person's website, but I look anyway to be sure.

    As I am searching the computer, he leans forward and...stares. Like, peers right into my face. It's unnerving. And as I try to ignore him, he kind of...moans...

    "Soooooo good-lookin'."



    That was it. I stepped back and said, "We can't get it. You have to go online."

    He says, "Oh, OK. I'll tell my wife."



    OK, I know it doesn't sound that bad, but he was just....really creepy.

    I've been in a similar situation, and it's one of those you-had-to-have-been-there things. If you're just reading what happened, it doesn't convey the tone of voice the guy used, the creepiness rolling off the guy like stink off s***, nor the writer's instincts screaming at her to run like crazy.

    I'm sorry you had to go through that. At least you have a while before you have to deal with any more weirdos.

      Well look at it this way, while you're feeling uncomfortable and completely unsexy, it's clear you still have it

      Though really, that was way creepy.

        Or the guy has a pregnancy fetish.

        Really sucks that you CAN"T run screaming when you're at work. Some modern things just go against all instinct.

          Not to mention the fact that it's kinda hard to run when you're pregnant

              I got the creepy-crawlies just reading about it. Maybe because the scene is familiar.

                That's kind of what the Skeevy Creep at the movie theater was like. Words alone can't convey the creepiness.
