    What do you say to that?!

    Hi, this is my first post! It's nothing horrible or anything, but... wow. Why do the pervs come out on Sunday?

    Me: Little blonde liquor store gal
    SC: Not sucky, just apparently a little too prone to sharing personal information. A guy in his 20s with a baseball cap.

    SC: *comes out of big cooler, sets down pack of beer*
    Me: Hi, how're you today?
    SC: You know, I really want to get a job here, just so I can watch the girls come out of that cooler all day with their nipples showing.
    Me: ...
    Awkward silence. SC hands me his debit card.
    Me: Paying with debit? Okay, that's $14.15. So, do you need a bag?
    SC: No, thanks.

    Transaction continues as normal, except for the air of awkwardness. I guess he just randomly blurted it out? I dunno, but for the life of me, I couldn't think of a reply to that, except maybe, "That's nice." or "Wow, interesting priorities you've got there." Any suggestions?

    Anyway, half an hour after him...

    SC: An older guy, maybe in his late 50s, again wearing a baseball cap. A coincidence?

    SC: *leer* Are you a natural blonde?
    Me: *without thinking* Yeah, are you a natural brunnette?
    I totally winced inside as soon as I said that, realising that I'd just left myself wide open to all sorts of comments... 'Wanna find out?' etc.
    Instead...
    SC: Oh, yeah, but you know, when I was younger, I was blonde...
    And without warning, morphs from Old Perv into one of those old guys who go on for five minutes about their glory days.

    I know that these aren't bad, but seriously, I seem to get more of this type than usual on Sundays. Why Sundays?! Why?!

    I have nothing to say except that I'm totally familiar with bad-behavior Sundays. Well, every day, for that matter.

      OMG, you should've heard some of my female co-workers this last weekend when it was colder. Somehow they got to talking about their nipples going all "boing-oing-oing-oing-oing" due to the cold.

      And, pervert that I am, I just had to join in.

      Of course this discussion took place in the breakroom, away from any customer's virgin ears.

        They spent Saturday night drinking and have to come in to replenish their supply?

          I have no idea what the deal is with Sundays, but for some reason we get all the psychos and general weirdos.

          One guy for example, stood at the end of the register speaking loudly (either to us working or just in general, we don't know) asking what the meaning of life was. He thought that maybe it was to have a lot of sex, which he wanted to have. Problem was, he had a girlfriend, what should he do?

          It makes some nights a bit more entertaining, but when even the security guys from the nearby mall asks us if we always have this many psychos in our store, something's just wrong..

            Because on the other days they are busy trying to freak customer support out - we are closed on weekends

                That's awesome! I'll save that to use later. Anyway, thanks for the welcome etc. everyone!

                  I think people who don't usually leave the house during the week (or work all week and save shopping for Sundays) tend to hit us on that glorious day of the week!

                    Too bad it has the opposite effect on men.

                      Either: treat his girl better, and maybe she'll let him sleep with her on the bed more, or sleep around, and lose out on having a girl...

                        I've never understood why so many people think the hair is supposed to be the same colour all over. Mine isn't - I guess I'm rare?

                        If I were a furry mammal, I'd be shades of blonde and brown: long brown stockings and belly, blonde face and head and back. So no, the carpets don't match the drapes. And no, it's not dyed at all.

                        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                          Mine started out blonde when I was little, and darkened as I got older. But if you look closely, the individual strands are a mixture. Most are dark, but a few are still blonde. I even have a few red hairs in my beard. Go figure.

                            I started going grey at age 25. Which is really depressing, because I'm brunette.

                              Re: Sunday customers...Hey! I do my shopping on Sundays! And I'm not...erm...never mind.

                              For some reason, although I was the second of four siblings, my hair has the least gray of all of us. In fact, my youngest sister's hair is entirely grey/white, not to mention it's way long, past her waist, very striking.
