Yesterday, I stopped at a 7-11 to get a few sodas to take into work. While I was getting back into my car to head into the office, an old man stood in front of his open car door and whispered "psst. Miss, miss, over here" I look over to the man, and he's motioning me over to his car and waving money at me!
Let me just pause for a moment to voice what all 2 of my female readers should be thinking right now - eeeeew!
I got in my car as fast as I could and drove away. I felt guilty for about 30 seconds. What if he was an invalid and just wanted me to get change for him? After 30 seconds I thought, no. 1) He whispered to me, so as not to draw the attention of an able bodied man in the car next to me 2) Even old men must be aware of how sketchy it looks to try to draw a woman to your car while wafting money at her 3) Eeeeew! Pervert!

Posted by: kat at April 7, 2004 12:42 PMhmm...I wonder what he wanted, too. I probably would have gone over to his car--what could it hurt?
Posted by: JennySmith at April 7, 2004 1:58 PMJenny, you trusting fool! This old guy (Susan, by old I mean at least 30) wanted me to do something bad! The glass is half empty!
Actually, by old, I would venture to say at least 70, and he gave me a really creepy "Come here little girl. I seem to have lost my puppy." big-bad-wolf vibe. I hope that he did only want me to make change, but I wasn't comfy approaching him.
