That is so funny. I told my mom and she was cracking me. What a creep.

my sister had a really disgusting guy come up to her at a dive bar and say, "whoa, baby, you are F-I-N-E fine." he was harmless, so she and her friend proceeded to torment the guy for the rest of the night. (making fun of him, asking him weird questions and then laughing hysterically about his answers, using him to prank phone call their friends) this was a few years ago, and i still think they call him once in a while when they're really bored and ask him if he's F-I-N_E fine.

the creepiest story is when i was in high school. we went to boston for a debate trip (yes, i was a geek.. but it was fun and more of an excuse to hang out w/ everyone) it was acutally model UN, so you pretended like you were a delegate from a country in a UN committee. there usually was a page (sp?) that would volunteer to pass around notes during session so that you could work w/ other countries to get your resolution on the floor.

so i'm sitting in session, minding my own business. the page comes by and slips me a note that says something cute/funny from the delegate from UK. i don't write anything back. he sends me a few more notes; no response from me. THEN, i get a note that says "i want to f*** you until your pelvis breaks" HELLO?! seriously, i was so grossed/weirded out that i didn't even know how to handle it. i couldn't even work w/ him for the rest of the session. oh, it still brings back bad memories 10 years later.

I've got a good one...

When I used to work in the Sears Tower a few years back I used to take a very popular bus route to work. Filled to the brim with YUPs...

One night I'm out and a rather handsome young gent came up to me and said, "You ride my bus." Well, I didn't think that was creepy at all so I said, "Oh, the 156?" That's when the creepiness slowly started sinking in...He proceeded to say, "Yeah. I am figuring you live north of Diversey because I get on Wrightwood and you are always on when I get on." I was like, "oh, ok..." then he hits me with, "and you must work south of Monroe since I get off on Monroe and you are still on the bus when I get off", now I'm getting a little worried.

Next he comes out with, "you have a Prada purse and Gucci sunglasses and you wear a skirt or a dress almost every day." WTF!!!??? He would have to be staring at the side of my head from less than 2 feet away to know that my sunglasses were Gucci! Anyway, I claimed that I needed a drink so I politely excused myself...it was too bad he was such a stalker - he was definitely good looking.

Can anyone say Patrick Bateman - argh!!!!!

these are all so creepy! i hate it that all girls have to deal with this kind of crap. it's like all these pervs just think they have the right to come up to you and say whatever they want. and i wonder, does it ever work? as in, do any girls ever say "well sure i'll go home with you?" after hearing those things?

anyway, one of the "perks" of living in new york are the gross random guys who hit on you. one of the weirdest experiences for me happened a few years ago when i used to be able to walk to work, and i'm not even sure if he was hitting on me but it was definitely strange. every day i walked by this hotel that was across the street from my office, and one day over lunch i saw the doorman from the hotel standing in line in front of me at this deli. he recognized me from me walking by every morning, and we talked for a few minutes, and after that we'd say hello every day. that part was fine. the weird part is his manager started coming out to talk to me, and he'd stop me and want to have conversations. hello, i'm going to work right now? and i'd try to keep walking and he'd get in front of me, or wait with me if the light was red and i couldn't cross the street. then one day i tried to not make any eye contact and walk by as fast as i could, and he still came running out and he said "sweetie, you have to stop to talk to me every day!" and after that i stopped walking by the hotel, but they could still see me on the other side of the street.

one side note, i hate that hissing noise guys make at you!

Well not that I remember but a friend of mine once told me she heard this one at a bar:

"You're prettier than a new set of mud tires" What the hell?
