Getting Hit On


So i go to grab my lunch from a place near my work. I go there all the time. I know the guy behind the counter. He knows my orders, no words need to be spoken except for the cheery thank you and smile. He's hispanic, but has no clue that i do know how to speak spanish, which is kinda funny.

So today, i am in there, and he shows me that he finished my order as these two guys come out of the back room. Now, i have never seen these guys before. But they stood there staring at me. Fine, whatever. I don't care about guys staring. It happens. Especially with Hispanic guys. I have gotten the often called out- aye mami, que bonita! I smile internally and keep on walking knowing that i still got it. But these guys pissed me off. As my buddy behind the counter holds up my food, I smile all big as a thanks, but these cabrones decide to comment on me smiling. Now, what the fuck. So i go to pay and they are still talking behind me about me. Now, it was even in english and not spanish. So they aren't even trying to hide it. I pay for the food and say thank you to the guys behind the counter and they totally mimic me. As i leave, they then say bye to me all "girly" voice.

Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE flirting. it's fun. It makes you feel alive. it is great to be flirted with. Makes you feel like you still have that little something to turn peoples heads. Hell, i have to do it all the time with my job. I have to go out and mingle with potential clients. I am good at it. But it is also where my dry wit and sarcasm come into play really well too. But i just will never understand what had happened today. I remember back in college where I went to the corner deli to pick up a pack of cigarettes with my roll of nickels. Yes, poor art student, i know. Anyways, i just literally woke up, hair all over the place, might have even been in my pajamas. Basically i looked like shit. i got hit on. What is up with that? I mean, the times i TRY to look good, i hear nothing. The times when i don't even try or give a shit, i get the hey baby. Someone needs to explain this to me.

Guys love it when it looks like you didn't try. They love that "morning after" look, where you don't look so bad "all a mess" so they won't have to kick you out of bed. It also means you'll clean up nice.
