Weird Thing #2

[scarredbyitall]

I never finished explaing Weird Thing #2 from my last (scintillating) post. Now Weird Thing #2 has diminished in its weirdness effect so I am bound not to be writing about it with quite the enthusiasm I originally intended. This will just have to do

When these things happen to me, there always comes a point when the guy is insisting on meeting or going somewhere or whatever, and I just say "no". I smile a lot, but I still say no. And if he insists, I smile less and less while still saying no. I have come to the conclusion that these things are NOT included in customer service and that I not only have the right to say no, but I absolutely *must*. Because otherwise he'll come back again. And again. And again. So, yeah. A combination of big smile and "no" usually does it for me.

These situations always take me by surprise and I know I handle them badly. A large part of it is that I hate confrontation of any kind, and rejecting someone is a kind of confrontation. Your advice is good. Just say no! (With a smile.) I need to remind myself that I have every right to say no.

I *hate* being hit on at work. You're basically trapped at the counter.

You're in the right here, and what he's doing could be construed as harassment. I don't have any great lines though...I get really flustered by shit like this too, so I'm no good. What a dick.
