I marvel at
the audacity of some people even though I know I shouldn’t. I’ve lived long
enough to know that some people are just not meant to be let out on their own without
leashes and those cone things people put on their dogs to keep them from
licking themselves when they shouldn’t. M.O.M. has always been diligent about
sharing her experiences of Happenstances Of Male Intelligence Errors, or
H.O.M.I.Es. These tales taught M.O.M.’s
daughters lessons we never learned in school about dealing with overly aggressive
amorous men.
One such instance
occurred while M.O.M. was standing in line at a store waiting her turn to check
out. The man behind her stood a bit too
close and she felt something brush against her posterior end. M.O.M. gave him the benefit of the doubt and
took a moderate step forward, he took a step forward as well. After a moment, the brush turned into a
rub. M.O.M. took another step forward,
clearly now annoyed. He was a persistent fellow. He moved forward again. This time, she’d had enough and instead of
taking a large step forward, she took a small step backward, placing the tip of
her 4 inch heel squarely on the top of the man’s foot. Now, instead of making
her point and then stepping forward again, M.O.M. decided to drive that point
home as painfully as possible, but remaining in the exact same spot for the
rest of her wait in line and not moving forward or taking her heel out of the
man’s foot until it was her turn to pay.
She never said a word, and never turned to look at him, not even for a little knowing smirk. (Later in life, one of those smirks would prove misfortunate.) Once it was her turn to pay, she lifted her foot, finished her transaction, and walked away.
I think he
got a bit more than he bargained for on that shopping trip. Was it worth it buddy?
