Re: Strangers you still think about
(Anonymous) 2019-02-25 08:14 am (UTC)(link)So- I'm left with the times that I could possibly be that person, (according to the people I tell some of these stories to, and honestly myself, when I have the time to think back on it;;) once or twice in my life;;...
I remember one time I was coming home from a doctors appointment and stopped to get a pita real quick before heading home. The guy who took my order asked me what I had planned that night, as I was wearing a casual, (imo) yet well put together dress(?);; I got a lot of similar comments in the past with that same outfit, but usually I went along with whatever people were saying, and mostly only told half truths...
This time however; I looked at him straight, and said I was planning to go right to sleep when I got home... Maybe it was the way his face dropped that made it seemed kinda memorable- (not to mention, it was barely two in the afternoon when I said this/absolutely, totally meant it;;) It didn't help that I just asked for extra cooked, and raw mushrooms as the only additive to go with the chicken ceaser I ordered. I don't really know, but over all it was very awkward I have to say...
(I'm like being assaulted by all the other times I was extremely unfortunate right now. But aside from the time when the liquor store began to ask for specific addresses, and when I gave them mine, they no hold bars went 'ahh, that explains the wine boxes then' + etc... I'm really too embarrassed to mention the rest;; As I'm sure you could imagine;;)
There are also the times when people have complemented me out of the blue, some very kindly, and others not so much- but I'll reply to my own comment in the case some triggers might apply;;
TW - prostitution
(Anonymous) 2019-02-25 09:35 am (UTC)(link)I have- and on more than a handful of occasions... been mistaken for a prostitute...
The first time I was just about to turn fifteen, and this old dude was slowly keeping pace with me on the street, just looking at me. I noticed right away, but tried to ignore it. He was riding his scooter in the bike lane, (he was a very overweight, past middle age, dirty dude) and it was maybe midday at best. But then he called out to me, "Hey you have a boyfriend waiting for you?" and most of my problem is making the first mistake I guess, cause, of course, I answered, 'no'. Then, in the most crude way possible, he asked me if 'I wanted to make a good buck to give him a good time.' Yeah... Obviously, I said no... He kept the same pace with me for the rest of the street (a good three blocks) before I turned off and ran away;;...
A few times after that, it happened with people in my age group at least (mostly);; One of my best friends got into drugs when they entered high school, and while I didn't follow, I still hung out with their crowd. One time at a party this drug dealer was severely high, and offered me literally everything in his wallet if I slept with him;; It was well over three hundred bucks, but I just gave him a hug, and said sorry, no... (he was actually really nice, but I just wasn't interested, money or not;;)
The most recent time, I had just finished an allergists appointment in the summer, and while walking back to my car a few blocks away. (in full jeans, and a heavy woolen sweater to cover up the hives from my appointment) I accidentally made eye contact with a guy driving towards me, and smiled. He pulled a full turn, and stopped in the driveway of the parking lot where I happened to leave my vehicle. In typical 'me' fashion (how I image most of these instances start, i suppose;;) I kept walking thinking he made a wrong turn, or, and as I get closer, he's looking to me for directions?;; Instead he asks "if I'm working." me being me, I have no fucking clue what he's saying, and ask him to repeat himself... He asks me the same thing, and I just take it literally- long enough to answer his question, before coming to my senses... He apologizes, at least, and drives off...;;
The thing is I have no idea why this keeps happening to me?;; I have a bad habit of making awkward eye contact, and smiling is literally my default reaction to /everything/... So for like half of these adventures I could maybe the reason that could be the case??- but fuck man... I'm just some stranger walking down the street, leave me alone!
If like /anyone/ is reading this, it appears I need a lot more info on whoring than I thought;; So please reply??
Ugh... this sucks;;
