And they say it only happens in the movies…
Today on the way to work, while waiting at the stoplight, I was practicing my best “come hither” pout in my car’s vanity mirror…as all true femme fatales do…when I felt someone staring at me. You know that feeling of eyes burning a hole through you? That was it. And not wanting to run the risk of heat damage to my hair, I turned my head to meet the stare…
A man, had to be in his forties, at the very least, business attire, was indeed staring at me. He mouthed the words, “Good Morning.” I merely nodded in acknowledgement. I turned my head back to continue waiting for the light, singing a little with the radio, when I felt it again…that burning stare….
I turned my head again and sure enough, he was still staring. (must have been raised by wolves or coyotes) This time he proceeded to smile and wave to me. I do not know the exact statistics, but I am fairly sure they are pretty low that someone trying to pick up someone else while at a stoplight does not work often. I turned my head back for the third time…and aside from wondering when this light would change, I felt his laser stare again, burning into the side of my temple.
I had barely turned my head to look at him again when he blew a kiss in my direction. I rolled my eyes and as I did, the light changed to that glorious emerald green and I put my foot on the accelerator. The morning rush Romeo did as well, unfortunately, he crashed right into the car in front of him.
Did I forget to mention he was in a “left turn only” lane? And that he was married?
Welcome, welcome, by the way, to the blogging world. Any friend of Veaj’s is a friend on mine.
I read an article recently about men staring at women on the subway. The article said that there was a two-second rule. After two seconds, you have to stop looking or it turns rude. I think they would have outlawed winking or blowing kisses too. Just a guess.
And the accident? Karmic justice works quickly sometimes.
