Die, skeevy guy!

[rachelmanija]

Me: Peacefully typing in cafe.

Skeevy Guy: Sits at the table next to mine. Does something which I don't really see, but which makes his presence feel obtrusive.

Me: Turns to look at him.

Skeevy Guy: "I was just checking you out."

Me: "EXCUSE ME?!"

Skeevy Guy: "Uh..."

Me: "Never mind."

Me: Turns back to laptop.

Skeevy Guy: "I said, 'I was just checking you out.' That's what guys do."

Skeevy Guy: Stares at my breasts.

Me: "Dude! You can't sit next to a woman and tell her you're checking her out! That's incredibly rude!"

Skeevy Guy: Turns his back to me. Eventually gets up and leaves.

What makes my jaw drop is that he had a chance to leave well enough alone after I said "Never mind," but decided that I really wanted to verbal confirmation of what he was doing.

EW. I'm so sorry. I suppose he expected you to feel flattered by the fact that he was deeming you worthy of his attention. Or something. Blech.

Well, from a dude......

If I wanted to check out a dudette at a cafe, I certainly wouldn't stare at her. I might simply ask her how she likes that particular laptop, or just wait and see if an opportune time presents itself. I don't see staring at ones breasts as "checking you out". I do see it as being extremely rude.


Oh, I don't think I said it before. "Welcome Home". what a wonderful adventure you were on in Asia/China....

Yuck.

There's no "Undesirable and Intentionally-Missed Connections" section on Craig's List, but maybe there should be...

Guy has no social skills, i.e. jerk. He's lucky he didn't get punched. Maybe the next woman won't be so patient!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Eeeew.

Some people roll with the anti-holler.

This is all kinds of creepy, and ew, but this particulary stands out:

"That's what guys do."

Wow, I'll take pathetic excuses for poor behavior for $800, Alex.

"That's what guys [who don't get laid] do"

There we go, reads better now.

[delux-vivens.livejournal.com]

Win.

[leiliaxf.livejournal.com]

WOW.

He's lucky he's still got his parts, if this is his usual MO.

Then again, I'm making a big assumption there...

THE FIRST RULE OF CHECKING WOMEN OUT CLUB IS YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT CHECKING WOMEN OUT CLUB.

[cicer.livejournal.com]

SECOND RULE OF CHECKING WOMEN OUT CLUB...well, that's a repeat of the first one.

THIRD RULE OF CHECKING WOMEN OUT CLUB IS YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY STARE OPENLY AT HER BREASTS. SUBTLETY, MOTHERFUCKER. LEARN IT.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

THE FOURTH RULE OF CHECKING WOMEN OUT CLUB IS...NO SMOKING.

...Wow. That dude has absolutely no idea how to interact with women, does he? I would feel sorry for him, if he wasn't such a skeeveball.

But how could you not be extremely flattered by his staring at bits of you as if they were shop merchandise which should by rights be free to him?

Floof. Fresh off reading a zillion posts about misogyny! So much rage against the machine.

IAWTC.

Also, grrr! Arrrgh!

I wonder if this approach ever works. I hope not.

How mean of you, to not be so flattered by all of this that you tear off your clothes, smear yourself with oil, and writhe fetchingly. Mean!
