i'm so hot...

well, apparently anyway.

i got hit on at the hardware store today. it was weird. not somewhere you expect to be hit on. especially not when you haven't showered, you're hair is gross enough that you considered wearing a hat to go out in public (i know, probably no one else would notice, but i did, and well, ew), you're not wearing make up (not that i normally do, but usually when i get hit on i am...) and you're wandering around a hardware store in a seemingly random way.

i kept running into the same guy in different parts of the store. at one point (in the plumbing department) he asked me if i was a plumber ('cause, apparently i give off that handywoman kind of vibe) and i said no. he asked me if i could tell if the new part in his hand was a match to the old part in his other hand. i said i didn't know. he said, oh well, it's nice to run into a beautiful woman in the store. i kind of laughed akwardly and said thanks. he then asked if i had a boyfriend. i said yes. he said (in a very disappointed voice) "that's too bad". i said something like "oh well, better luck next time" as i made a hasty retreat trying to find john.

it's not that i have a problem with being hit on, it's kind of fun and flattering, but it's the context. it weirded me out.

then as the day progressed i was flirted with by a waiter who initially seemed indifferent (no doubt just to boost a tip, but still), and i was checked out in a really obvious kind of way by some other guy as i was leaving the restaurant.

perhaps i need to reconsider this whole showering thing, because apparently i am *far* more appealing when unwashed...
