Went to get petrol, I was on my way back to the office after an intense counselling session with a client. My brain wasn’t focused on the world, but more on the millions of things waiting for me at the office.
Walked up to the counter and told the guy which number bowser and then stuck my card out indicating I wanted to pay on credit. Next thing he says to me, ‘you have very good looks’. I smiled and felt awkward but thought, oh well you gotta take them wherever you can these days. But it didn’t end there, he continued, ‘your eyes are beautiful’. Ok buddy I have work to do, let me swipe my card and just get out of here. ‘your eyes, you have Russian looks’. At this point I didn’t care if I was receiving a compliment or not. He was freaking me out!!!!
At what point is a random stranger saying something about your looks a compliment or just plain out weirdness. When you walk past a work site and the men whistle at you, in my younger years I found this offensive, I’m a woman not a dog, you filthy men. These days I secretly wish for it. If a strange man on a work site can notice me and whistle in my direction. I’ll take it. Maybe then I’ll strut my stuff just a little bit extra, smile for a little bit longer that day. I’m crazy I know.
