I’m not sure what it is but it seems like elderly men want to know if I’m married or have children. I shit you not. I’ve had 3 or 4 in the last year ask me if I’m either married or demand why I haven’t given birth to any children yet. What makes this even stranger is that every single time this happens I don’t know them at all but they sure as hell have seen me for quite some time. Tonight I had my 4th encounter.
It started off normally enough. I was in the middle of looking at one of our shelves to see if anything needed to be stocked when he came up to me. He looked normal. Tall, gray hair and mustache. Said that he has moved into town permanently, seems to remember me from a couple other trips he’s paid up this way (seeing me push carts) and seemed happy to see that I’m inside out of the rain and cold. Then he asked me if I was married. When he found out I wasn’t he practically had a heart attack. He seemed flabbergasted that I wasn’t married and how dare I not have any children! I made it clear that I wasn’t exactly looking and that seemed to annoy him even more. Then he said that him and I could get married and tell everyone… Yeahhhh at that point I told him to have a nice day and I got the hell away from him. He followed me though and said from a distance that he was joking. Needless to say my bosses know what to watch out for.
Still this is something that while it’s infrequent, when it does happen it’s annoying. Why do these old farts show interest in my potential marital status or what pops out of my vagina? It’s always old men. Old women or even younger women tend to not give a shit. Young guys either ask me out or don’t care (or if they do they’re discreet) about it one way or another. It’s always single old anal retentive looking men who probably never scored because of strange questions like that.
I don’t go around asking questions like that, they shouldn’t either. End of argument.
Also too, I won Dota2. Will have to give that a try sometime.
