What is yours?

At Goodwill a couple years ago a man in really bad drag came up to the area I was in and said “ I like big girls and I cannot lie” to the tune of that song that goes “I like big butts and I cannot lie” I was about 150 at the time. I got the hell away from him.

Coming out of a 7-11 on a rainy evening, I got in the wrong car. I still remember the guy's expression, his eyes got so wide, LOLOL So, I got out and got in my friend's car who was crying with laughter.

Also a strange one I had was when I was 12 and in CCD and I was waiting for the teacher to come in. I was goofing off with some kids in the hallway and this teacher aide or something not even sure who he was. He was maybe a senior in high school or college age. But he said to me “your clothes look like ****, where the hell do you shop?” I was taken aback but the next week he was being an *** again so I said what he had said to me the week before. He threatened to send me to the principals office. And started taking me there. At least I thought that’s where he was taking me. No idea now. But I said “um, you were swearing at me” and he backed off because he knew I could have gotten him fired and I had about 3 kids who heard him say stuff to me who would have backed me up. As an adult I just find the whole situation very strange.

I almost did the same thing once. I opened the door and started talking and was about to get in. The woman look startled.

I halfway got into my coworkers moms car a year ago. It was a white SUV like my moms and I hadn’t had the best day so I wasn’t paying attention. She looked scared. I was mortified. I don’t even think I said sorry I just shut the door and ran to my moms car. I luckily never heard anything about it and I never told anyone at work.

At a rock festival years ago, I got there, very tired and crawled into my sleeping bag.
The next day when I woke up a unfamiliar young guy was sitting there looking at me.
It was his sleeping bag but he hadn't wanted to wake me---never knew where my bag went....

I went to check out an antique mall I'd never been to before. I made the trip especially to do that; a day out for myself.
I had been there about an hour, enjoying the layout of it, and spotting all kinds of fun and wonderful things. I was periodically chatting with the very friendly woman (about my age) who was manning the front counter. Antiques people are for the most part, very friendly types. Suddenly a large-ish man , also about my age, came swooping through the front doors like a rock star. He was one of the vendors. He took a big long gaze around the place, and his eyes settled on me.
You know that feeling you get when you go from being basically invisible, to being slap bang in the middle of a blinding spotlight? Well, that was what it was like.

I decided the attention was nice, but I was there to shop.
However, every time I looked up, he was gazing over. A case of mistaken identity, perhaps? He thinks maybe I'm someone else, someone he knew in high school or college? I'm just not used to being the center of this sort of focus.
I figured it was getting close enough to closing time, and I had numerous things I had spotted that I need help with, and needed to have them brought out of unlocked cases and tallied-up at the front register. When I got there, this man announces in a startlingly loud voice, "Why am I not married??! When am I gonna get married?!", all the while, looking me up and down like I was some kind of dessert in a bakery display case.

The feeling of being mildly flattered gave way to aversion, and a bit of embarrassment for him. WHO talks like this? And WHO puts people on the spot like that?

He was clearly friendly with the other woman, who just kept shaking her head and making gentle fun of him, ever so quietly...so I knew he was probably harmless. But, still.
I chuckled and made polite banter, until I could essentially flee, trophies of my hunt wrapped carefully but hastily and held close to me like some kind of psychic armor, and thinking to myself, "hahaha, yeah, I know why you're not married!".
