Bloody Compliments

I should start appreciating the guys who stare at me and make lewd comments during the summer. Today I was wearing a skirt and walking around and one worker in a food store that I was in looked me up and down and then walked away like he was not impressed- Well FUCK YOU 'ASSOCIATED' WORKER.

It IS creepy when guys stare at you and say like "Hey mamasita" and then leer... or like "Check out the ass on that little white girl- it's the biggest ass I've ever seen on a little white girl- HEY BABY NICE ASS" (that one was said while I was walking down the block hand in hand with my boyfriend). The guys at supermarkets are generally pretty bad too. The other day I was at the Meat Market on 9th Ave and I was in the meat freezer. It's like 10 degrees and there's animal blood all over the cement floor. This is how the conversation went:

Butcher's Assistant: May I help you
Me: Yeah.. I was actually looking for ground venison- do you guys have that?
BA: (Very slowly as if he was describing what he was going to do to me) We have ..... ground turkey.... or ground chicken.... over there we got ground beef...but no... no ground venison. sweetheart...want something else?
Me: Uh... no.. I'm good, I really just wanted ground venison
BA: That's too bad we don't have that then.

(He stand there watching me look through the flank steaks)

BA: go bo oooh (mumbles)
Me: (politely) Excuse me
BA: God bless you baby, you got a fine body
Me:uhh...(quickly fumbling to grab a steak)
BA: (getting closer) Hey you got a husband...
Me: (loudly) YEAH YEAH I HAVE HUSBAND, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP (And I run....)

Nothing sexier than picking up a girl in a meat lock with blood on the floor. What a story we'd tell our children.

Now all these examples are creepy and I'll spare you the really creepy story that will leave you serioulsy considering never wearing a skirt above your knees again. But I had to get a young man arrested once for being creepy in the summer to me.

HOWEVER I was really hurt today by the guy in Associated that decided that leering at my body wasn't worth his time. I realize that generally guys will leer at anything in a skirt so I don't feel complimented when leered at, but that's what made this experience even worse. I wasn't even worth it.

So....AGAIN- BIG FU TO THAT ASSOCIATED WORKER. You ruined my body image. So in this extreme heat I went to yoga and I think I have heat stroke now and it's all your fault!
