Some guy
just approached me tonight and I’m pretty sure he is my age but he thought I was younger than him.
him (slurrily):
“Fell frrr to tell mrrr I’m too ollll for you and I’ll stop hittinnnn on yoooouuuu.”
me:
“Well, I’m very flattered, thank you, but I’m happily married.”
*holds up left hand and shows him newly polished, cleaned ring*
him:
“Yurrrsss baaarrrt this is Seattle, and …”
*overly animated hand gestures*
“… there’s marriage and romance, and then, there’s sex …”
me:
*gets weird with it*
“Ep! Ep ep ep ep ep arp arp arp bapbapbapbapbapbarpbep …”
*sounds more and more like a sea lion the more I do that*
him:
*quickly walks away*
Ladies!
I have found the key to getting a dude to fuck off when he’s giving you unwanted attention:
Start barking like a sea lion.

this could backfire, and you do not want the added attention of those it would backfire with.
