Men Men Men. Unfortunately they are all wrong

Okay, so I'm in Starbucks on my lunch break sipping on my Caramel Macchiato when I'm instantly drawn to the 6' plus man who just entered. He looks at me for a moment and then goes on to stand in line. I was instantly drawn to this man not because he was overly attractive but because he had the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. It wasn't his eye color but the fact that these were the biggest, brightest, most expressive eyes that I have ever seen. He even had extra long eyelashes to boot. I couldn't help but stare at this man , even to the point that when he glanced at me I didn't even break my stare. Normally I would've looked away or looked down or done something but not this time. I just kept on staring, so much so that he probably felt obligated to join me so when he asked if I minded, I said "Not at all, have a seat." Of course I apologized (as i'm not that blatantly rude) but I just had to tell him that he has lovely eyes. He thanked me and said he isn't used to being stared down by such an attractive woman. Touche'. Anyway, we engage in minor chitchat abour work and interests and then it happened, I lost interest just like that. I know ya'll are wondering what happened and I will tell you, dude took off his hat. That's right, He took off his dayum hat! Will you believe that this man had some of the nappiest hair known to man. I mean so much so that each nap had individualized and separated to the point that I could've counted each one. He literally put the "bead" in bead-dee-beads!!!! On top of that, his hair was so dry that it actually looked dusty, you hear me, DUSTY!! It took everything within me to keep from reaching into my bag and pulling out my moisturizer to hook his head up right there. Now before you stone me, I have nothing against nappy hair, as a matter of fact, I actually prefer that look on females as well as males but dude looked like a brush (not to mention a comb or hair products) hadn't touched his head in forever. I was in awe, I simply told him that I had to get back to work and ended all conversing right there. So what, I'm shallow, sue me. On another note, a co-worker and I have been working at this new spot running an ongoing workshop. We'll be there for another week and a half, My first day there, everyone at that location was extremely nice and friendly. This old dude always speaks to me and I didn't think anything of it. Day before yesterday, he actually joined me while I was walking back from the restroom, I can't remember what he said exactly but I do remember thinking that he is getting a little flirty. Anyway, I get a new partner today and we are in the office talking and old dude comes in and joins in the conversation. We're having a pleasant conversation, talking and laughing when my co-worker decides that he needs to take a smoke break. As soon as he leaves the old guy asks me where my guy is? I'm thinking he is talking about the guy who my new partner replaced so I ask "Who, the guy that was here before?" and he says "No your personal guy." I tell him I have no guy and he says "Why not? You don't need a man," and While I'm responding to that question with no, he has already asked whether or not I like men so of course when he heard my "No," he gets all bug-eyed and said "What... You don't like men, what you like? I said "My NO was in response to your previous question and Yes, I like men just fine." He continues to try to diagnose me and tells me that I must've been hurt extremely bad because after all, Ya'll know that it has got to be unfathomable that a pretty young thang such as myself wouldn't want an old ass geyser like him. Yes, he was semi attractive for his age but I highly doubt that a man that age could do anything for me other than hit me off with a couple of dollars every now and then and then introduce me to his younger, more attractive son. Anyway, My co-worker returns and the old dude stops his flirting and the convo gets back to normal but everytime my coworker left the room (which was a total of three times), two smoke breaks and a phone call) he just had to take it there. He told me that I should cook dinner and invite him over. I told him that I don't cook and am more of a fast food kind of chick, specifically McDonalds (since he mentioned earlier that he doesn't eat fast food and especially McDonalds.) He then says " Oh well, I wouldn't take you out then even if you did say yes, you'll go out with me, (slick bastid) because I don't do fast food. Luckily, my coworker walked back in. The old dude left and conveniently came back when said -worker was again out of the office to ask me what the plan was for the weekend. I told him that I would be running a workshop and then he asked what I was doing after that. I told him I didn't know as of yet, but I'm sure I'll be getting into something and then he asked if I would be thinking of him this weekend and especially tonight, (What the hell?) I said why? He said why not. I really wanted to tell him that not only is he old enough to be My daddy but he is old enough to be my daddy's daddy and he should know better. He said I don't know so I said "Sure, I'll remember you in my prayers this Sunday and he said "Okay, but think of me in your heart too". By this time I'm utterly disgusted. Anyway, he finally decides to carry his old ass on and a few hours later, when we are getting ready to lock up the office, my co-worker said "You know, that guy is really attracted to you" and I asked him what made him think that. He said "I don't know. I just know he is extremely attracted to you" and I, again, asked, "How do you know" and he said "I can just tell." I said "Yeah if you could tell, then why did you keep leaving like that?" I could've kicked his ass. He went over and mocked the old dude and I almost fell out laughing. Anyway, I have about 2 more weeks at that location and I do not want nor need the old dude flirting with me during the rest of that time. I might have to just come right on out and let him know that he is too old for me. I'm trying to be polite about it but I don't know how much more of this, of him, I can take. Lawd help me!

My worst Nightmare come true

I've been missing in action for a spell but who can blame me, I got caught up in spring fever and nearly lost my dayum mind. Anyway, not much has been up with me outside of the norm. I went out of town last weekend to this little soiree. The plan was to leave early Saturday morning, attend the party saturday night, and return home Sunday evening. All things were ago. I catch my flight and arrive as planned, only problem was that my bags weren't there when I arrived. Yes, they lost my dayum luggage. I'm inquiring about my bag and they want me to fill out the little claim for missing baggage and be on my way. Now normally, that is what I would've done but not this time. I was 2 seconds from showing my ass up in that joint. I know that they have an emergency fund for lost luggage so I inquire about it and they tell me that my bag needs to be lost for at least 24 hours. Mind you that little piece of info wasn't on any of the papers that I had so I pressed the issue. She tells me it's in their manual so I ask to see it. She disappears for about 10-15 minutes then reappears with some internet printouts. I tell her she printed that off of the internet and she said yes, that's where there manuals are. I continue to press (hell, I had too,I had no underwear, bra, tooth brush, no nothing and don't even mention the shopping that I did) Matter of fact, let me tell ya'll about it. I bought the cutest little dress to wear and since I had this neverending urge to wear some boots, I searched high and low (ya'll know that it's spring and most stores have gotten rid of their boots and such a month ago) until I finally found a boutique that had a pair of boots for me. Just so you can get the full understanding of how much I wanted to rock some boots, the pair that I really liked, they didn't have in my size, so I ended up buying the only pair that they had in my size (which was no where near the color that I needed.) Now what did I do you ask? I bought them and then went and purchased another dress that matched the boots perfectly, and now these bitches want to tell me that they lost my shit and they don't have any funds to give me. Anyway, she leaves again to go powwow with her co-workers, (I see about 3 or 4 people go into this little room with her) for another 15-20 minutes, she finally comes out with she needs to see my receipts. Now I'm thinking, I just got in from another state, How the hell am I gonna have receipts and then she says I need to go shopping and then bring them the receipts back. At this point, I'm pissed and have no intentions of coming up out of my pocket for anything. I tell them that for me, it's not about the money, that I'd much rather have my bag and had they not lost it, I would have it. I'm not about to jump through hoops and shit to rectify a situation that wasn't my fault in the beginning. They send out this old bitch who can't open her mouth up without a lie coming out. After them telling me they had no idea where my bag is all of a sudden she knows where it is. I ask how she found it and she says someone was walking by and noticed the bags then called her. That was complete and utter bullshit and lie number 1. I ask for a supervisor and she tells me there is no supervisor. I tell that bitch that in customer service situations, unless you are THE BOSS,every position has a chain of command and I want to speak with her supervisor or the person over her. She tells me that they can't get a supervisor to come over, lie number 2. She tells me that she can't give me anything because they have no money on the premises...Lie number 3. I tell her that I know everyone doesn't pay for their purchases with credit and if there was no money, how was she going to reimburse me had I shown her receipts. She says hopefully, a supervisor would've come over with the money by then. I guess she forgot that she had just told me that they couldn't get a supervisor for me to speak with. I said "Look, Please do not insult my intelligence with this bullshit, I told her I am highly intelligent with some semblance of common sense and I wasn't going to waste anymore time with her. I then moved on to another person who had me talk to a supervisor in another state. she connects the call to the phone in the lobby and the supervisor whom I speaking with says she will give me $50 and then we mysteriously get disconnected.The lady says she will call back and then transfer the call to my phone and when that happened this bitch did a total 180, now she isn't giving me anything. To make a long story short, My ass left out of there with $250 cash and I ended up getting my bags the next day. Yes, I had about an hour to go shopping (after all of the time I wasted playing tit for tat with those bitches) and I did not get to wear my cute ass boots but I got a new outfit out of the deal and had some money left over.(I'll save the details of the party for another post but anyway, I was determined that someone would see me in my outfit so you know I didn't hesitate to rock it on my return home.....What? You thought I wouldn't?
