Confused

The other morning during my normal daily commute into the city, I was feeling rather dissatisfied with my over all appearance. I have to dress like a boy in general for work, and this particular morning I was not even wearing mascara. I felt nast (if you pardon the expression). While on the bus, an older black man came up to me (who had previously been looking at me and smiling obnoxiously) and said, "I'm sorry I don't mean to make you feel awkward, but I just HAD to tell you. I was even just tellin my friend over there (a girl) but, your eyes are BEAUTIFUL! LIke..wow! I saw em and was like..dang! So, sorry for annoying you" (he walks away).

Ten Minutes

Ten minutes is apparently the correct length of time one needs to be outside in order for creepers to approach. Today while out on my ten minute break at work, this was said to me by an older man with a long nasty ponytail. In passing, he said "Hi there. I might also add that your cute nose matches that little behind of yours". He kept walking. What kind of feeling do people like that think that they leave you with? Certainty? Confident? Personally, I was creeped out.

Hit and run

The other day whilst taking a ten minute break at work, a homeless looking man began walking towards me with a very bewildered look. He slowed in front of me and asked me for a light. After I told him I did not have one, he said…"I ain't gonna lie..when I seen you I thought you was a boy cuz of yo hair but then I seen yo eyes and I was like DAAMMNN!" The bewilderment then transferred to myy face.
