Working in a hardware store...

[tigerkitty]

As a female is an interesting experience. Most of the people who shop there are men... usually old men. And I am, oddly enough, the youngest female working there right now.

The other day I was on register and an older man comes up with his purchase. We give senior citizen discounts if you ask, and he made sure to ask.

I jokingly said, "oh, I don't if you're really old enough, I may have to see your ID" just to innocently joke around. (The guy is about 70... and really looks about 70)

Well... *cue creepy old man* he responds with "Well, someone with such a beautiful name as Jennifer and who smells as nice as you should take my word for it."

Sounds like you're getting a lot of fun there, girl :)

[JackPhantasm]

You're a beautiful flower.

[TacticalShoe]

you appeal to all age groups

[ATIFunkFire]

>_<

I hate pedos.

No matter what age they are.

[Duh-Boss]

i would be a little creeped out if some old guy said anything even slightly like that to me. especially cuz im a dude.

[Zerok]

We have this old middle eastern dude working in auto parts.
Now, recently, I got my friend Barb a job there.
A young girl in the greasy clanking brake parts and exhaust mainfold world of auto parts.

So anyway, the old dude's name is CK (because to pronounce his actual name would probably kill you). He doesn't speak the best English, but you can always understand him because, well, he has his way. CK is hilarious.

For example one day he was looking at some rotund females with Barb and commented on how he didn't like women like that, but rather girls like her, who were "right in the body."

Well at the time she was like O_O and sort of exited the area, but later on we all found it hilarious. My manager was telling every soul he laid eyes on. We still joke about it now ("hey lookit her, she is most certainly right in the body!").

Ah, good times.

[GreenLanturn]

You loved it. You wanted that old man.

It's funny at first... but then it's just creepy...

When I first started working there I'd wear just normal clothes and all that. But then after about two weeks of working there I realized that the old men would look at my chest :X So I started wearing really baggy shirts and that kind of thing.

It's funny... and somewhat disturbing all at once.

[CaptainPeepers]

You should've been all "You know I have a penis, right?"

[LaMia831]

It's always funny when old guys hit on women young enough to be their grandkids........in a creepy, only if it didnt happen to you, kinda way.

[poxpower]

HA

You have a beautiful name and you smell nice.
Sucker.

I bet people say you're funny.

sorry I have rabbies

[JackPhantasm]

I hope you're still supporting your chest.

Because you COULD just not wear a bra, and then they wouldn't notice, because they'd be less pronounced.

That could backfire tho

[JadeTheAssassin]

Poor Jen. I've been through it, had older men (even in the presence of their wives) sing "Laura", which kind of creeped me out, and such at the grocery store I've worked at.

*hug*
He didn't wink at you, did he?

[Sanity-of-Insanity]

LOL A creepy old man hit on you. But seriously That was creepy

damn Zekey, thinking the same thing!

[TropicalParadise]

I don't know if I've ever posted on the BBS the stories of the creepers, but in the Caribbean, every single girl under 150lbs gets hit on by dirty Jamaican construction workers. I've had many physically touch me. It must be a culture thing, because there are far too many creepers for it to be the odd dirty old man.

The same thing happened to me the other day.

I had to tell the guy my name wasn't "Jennifer". It doesn't help that my name start's with a "J", either.

One time, I almost slapped this one guy. He went to point at my name tag, which is right on my vest, in a particular area... I saw his hand moving in and a stepped back further behind the counter and quickly got him on his way.
