Ok, maybe never is kinda harsh...how 'bout not for a long long time.
Guess what happened to me tonite?
So glad you asked. :)
I had just finished making store visits and had stopped to fill up with gas. This ummmm well this ahhh female creature came up and tried to start a conversation. With the intense frangrance of alcohol and cheap cologne along with the umm cut of her dress it was rather obvious what her occupation was. I ignored her. I wasn't in the best of neighborhoods and didn't really feel like striking up a conversation.
Anywho.....she was distracted by the taxi driver that requested her company out back the building so she wandered off.
I looked over at the city worker guy that was filling his truck and shrugged my shoulders. "I don't what she thought was gonna happen here". He chuckled and shook his head.
'Bout that time a, umm, well, ahhhh skin head (and yes - he qualified) walked out of the gas station and over to me as I was pumping gas.
SH: "So, 50 bucks?"
ME: "What? To fill up my tank?"
SH: "No. What's 50 bucks get me?"
ME: "A swift kick in the ass - get the F*ck away from me!"
Yes, I was mistaken for a saleswoman of a different sort this evening.
That hasn't happened in about 15 years. Damn........do you think it was the flip flops?!?!
UPDATE My cousin has come up with the PERFECT response....We figure some one told him there was a hooker hangin' out there, he saw me and put 2 + 2 together and got 69....S says I should have told him that NO I'm not who you're looking for. Pay me the $50 and she'sright around THAT corner. HA......I'da got the money and the last laugh!!!

Dayum...had to be the flip flops...
BWHAHAHAHAAAA!
Posted by: Christina at April 11, 2005 09:40 PMYou know, those flip flops with the 9 inch heels do that sometimes. You weren't swinging on a pole or anything, were you?
Posted by: Dash at April 11, 2005 09:43 PMOMG - ROFLMAO!!! Well, at least he offered you money. The only guy who ever propositioned me, was some drunk in the library in Elgin - homeless... natch. I was in there with my 3 year old son. He came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go have sex!!! I told him to get the hell away from me!!! LOL. Of course that was ummm.... 18 years ago. Guess I just don't hang out in the right neighborhoods. *grin*
OTOH - I do love your assertiveness...
Posted by: Teresa at April 11, 2005 09:43 PMDamn Tammi...what kind of flip-flops are you wearin' girl! LOL... Maybe he was just hoping you were looking for a way to absorb the high gas prices... ;)

Posted by: Bou at April 11, 2005 10:10 PMTammy,
You and I need to go Thelma and Louis'in and get these gangs of skin heads and gangs of sherbert shirt wearing men...........there must be an "entitlement" moon.
You know it is spring.
Posted by: ArmyWifeToddlerMom at April 11, 2005 11:13 PMSo I have to ask. All I get for $50 is a kick in the ass?
Do uh, you take checks or credit cards? :-D
Posted by: Randy at April 11, 2005 11:36 PMInstead of running him off, why didn't you wait for a response? Maybe he would have paid $50 for a swift kick in the ass...
Posted by: Ogre at April 12, 2005 06:22 AMLOL! You certainly lead an interesting life :-)
Posted by: Sally at April 12, 2005 06:34 AMLOL. First you get hit on by a hooker, then some guy thinks your a... well you know. Wow.
Should have taken his $50.00, then kicked his ass.. That way you would have had $50.00.
Posted by: Contagion at April 12, 2005 07:29 AMOMG! I saw you earlier in the afternoon and nothing about your dress would even remotely suggest that sort of trade!
O M G ! ! ! !
I'm just stunned!
Posted by: Lee Ann at April 12, 2005 07:30 AMMaybe the hooker wasn't hitting on you but was trying to engage you in a fight over her turf? Just saying, those killer flip-flops, call-girls pumping gas, must be the in thing! :)

Posted by: davidholtz at April 12, 2005 09:05 AMI'm just shocked that he only offered $50. Figure he was low-balling you (so to speak). Probably could've gotten him up to $200, easy.
And then kicked his ass :-)
