...and never going back to the dollar store

Ok, so I was doing a "good deed" for my sister and stopping at the dollar store on the way home from work to pick up some garage sale sticker labels for her...yeah...NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN!

*SCENE*
Em is browsing the dollar store aisles looking for an impossibly small and obscure item. A large man approaches, who will now be know as "Creeper". She is wearing a summer dress and strappy black platform sandals.

Creeper: "Nice shoes"

Em: "Umm thanks." (thinking - hmm...gay maybe?)

Creeper: "What size feet do you have?"

Em: (becoming more disturbed and trying to increase the space between herself and the Creeper) "An 8 or 8.5 maybe."

Creeper: (displaying shocked surprise) "No way! They look way smaller!"

*Uncomfortable pause for Em...Creeper is seemingly unaffected*

Creeper: "Can I touch them? I used to be a physical therapist."

Em: (!!!!!!! Was that before or after you were arrested for molesting people's feet??? !!!!) "NO!"

*Em beats a hasty retreat from the Creeper and dollar store, never to return again*

  4. I think I will wear combat boots from now on with my summer dresses. That will shield my feet from would-be creepers and provide me with a weapon when would-be creepers decided to hit on me and my feet despite them being encased in giant heavy boots!

    WTF indeed.

  7. Yes, I managed to grab the stickers and run to the checkout counter relatively unscathed (although mentally I was bathing in Clorox)
