Advice to Men

Gentlemen, might I offer this advice for you:  Please do not hit on a woman when she is buying feminine hygiene products.  It's an uncomfortable enough time, please don't make it more uncomfortable.

Case in point.  Scene:  Walgreens early Thursday morning on my way to an exceptionally long day at work.  In need of above mentioned products because that just makes this day even more brilliant.  I get what I need an enter a very empty checkout section of the store, already feeling awkward that the cashier is male (yes, I may be 26, but things like that still make me blush), when he turns to his coworker and says, "You were right, Kathy, she IS a knockout!"  He's looking directly at me, but I look around - ALL around - in hopes that someone else was the intended recipient of this message.  No, no, it is indeed me.  I look up at him, probably with big doe eyes, and say as firmly as I can, "Good morning.  How are you?"  He goes all ghetto on me, saying things like, "Oh girl, it's going to be a good day," and "You take care of yourself now, girl, you hear?"  Mind you, he is mid-40s, yellowed and jagged teeth, t-shirt tucked into jeans, etc.  I tried not to blush, but I'm sure I did simply out of embarrassment, but lordy, he probably thought I was diggin' his attempt at hitting on me.  Of course, I immediately text Christina and Liran and proceed to tell everyone I can at my office, probably in an attempt to get it out of my brain. 

Guys, don't do this.  Don't be this guy.  G-d help him.

Shabbat Shalom, chaverim!
