Here's a scenario for you:
A middle aged man who is usually entirely too forward and smells like he almost drowned in cologne that morning comes in practically winking at me when I ask him if I could ring him up for whatever service we have just provided. My standard procedure is to ask customers their name and phone number, of course when I ask him for his phone number, he grins like a moron and gives me some cheesy, nauseating line about how he will but only if I call when his wife’s not home. Now, what always surprises me is that he actually pauses for a moment, as if to think for a moment if he could actually get to me call without his wife knowing. I’m not sure how the idea just floated into his tiny brain that because I have a vagina and I am smiling - because A) I have to smile at the customers and B.) I find when someone’s extremely annoying it helps me to imagine bad things happening to them which in turn makes me smile more - that I am going to meet up with him sometime, maybe in a dirty motel or dark parking lot and make him feel young again.
Is this a constant idea men have? Do they think we’re all just begging for it all the time? I’m sure other women have issues like this from time to time, but does it ever really get any easier? I’ve gotten used to men coming in and staring at my chest like they think I won’t notice, or won’t care when I do. Now, being in customer service, I can’t say what I’m really thinking about these pathetic, delusional men like I would if something like this were to happen outside of my work place. I have to smile and nod and pretend not to notice how disgusting they are., after all, isn’t that what being a woman’s all about?
Any other women have a story or two like this to share, feel free to tell me about it :)
