Whoever’s been spiking my cereal with Love Potion #9 can stop it.

I was walking to work, minding my own business (headphones on, etc.), when a guy approached me. He said he noticed my sunglasses and liked them, and told me he was a fashion photographer as a side job. This is sort of odd because we work at a technical company. Also, most people here don’t approach strangers on the street just for the hell of it.

I do some side projects too and didn’t mind having a chat, but I quickly learned that engaging this person was a bad idea. This guy was way too quick to touch my arm when I said something funny and walked WAY too close to me. He was overtly “hitting” on me and asked for my work alias (which is like asking for my phone number).

What the hell? I wasn’t in a trendy downtown club or something. I was just trying to go to work… dressed down and without makeup even. Stuff like this has been happening to me on my way to and from work way more often than I’d like, and I wish it would stop. You wouldn’t walk up to someone’s car and rap on their window to ask an idiotic question or spit some retarded game. Walking commuters deserve the same respect. Why are people so freakin’ intrusive?
