i've had a very strange day thus far.
i was at rita's all by my lonesome today. the weather is bad = people don't want water ice = work is slow. or is, in theory. i actually ended up being quite busy, and i could have used some extra help! or at the very least, someone to talk to. and someone to witness the oddities that entered the shop!
1. why is it that *some* men feel like they are showering you with blessings when they tell you they're attracted to you? like they're the first person on the planet to have this feeling, and i should run over and make out with them right away for telling me i'm "beautiful," which was a part of this one's lousy attempt at a pick up line.
followed by:
me: "can i get you anything else today?
him: "i could really use a hug."
me: horrified, revolted expression
him: "but i guess i'm not going to get that here."
me: "no."
sorry, buddy, i'm not some little chick just waiting for a man to come rescue me. i'm not a wilting flower, thank you very much, and you're not a heaven-sent gift.
please, can we find more tactful, honorable ways to try to pick up women?
2. a mother walks into the store with a huge, stuffed, purple hippopotamus, and she asks if i will pose with it in a picture. it is her daughter's 18th birthday today, and she is sneaking around taking pictures of said daughter's childhood toy (hippo) at all of daughter's favorite places. so now, somewhere, an 18-year-old girl is celebrating her birthday by staring at a picture of me kissing her stuffed hippo.
i'm not sure if i should be freaked out by this or if the daughter should be.
3. two adorable little old women came in, with the proclamation that they've never tried rita's before, and that i must educate them. when i let them try a sample of coconut cream, the sounds they made were almost indecent. they were so cute!
