Department Store Harassment

Jul 28, 2009 | Posted by User Submission |

Sorry I don’t have pictures, this dude was wayyy too close for comfort.

I’m in the men’s department at Nordstrom shopping for a father’s day gift for my dad, when this total creeper probably mid 20’s approaches me.  He says “do you have a button to press for me to see your smile? Is it on your back?” and tries to touch me. I was so freaked out, I froze and took a few steps back. I replied, “Uh, what?” This creeper obviously had no idea I was 15 years old and proceeds to tell me that I look like a barbie doll. A few seconds later my friend came up to us and asked what was going on. Obviously two blonde high schoolers freaked the hell out of him and he nervously walked away. What a sorry excuse of a pickup line!
