I was minding my own business. I had just finished grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart and was headed to my car. If I am by myself I tend not to care where I park and take the first available spot I see and usually that is closer to the back or the middle of the parking lot. I think it is a waste of time to drive up and down the aisles looking for a spot that is in the first 5 marked spots.
Louder than the normal sounds in a parking lot I hear, "Hey Mommy! You in the purple shirt and black pants! Can I holla at you?"
Usually I can ignore these comments but this guy kept it up yelling and trying to get my attention. I had finally gotten to my car and was unloading the buggy and this guy was still yelling, "What you to good for me? You don't have time to talk to a brother?" I tried my best to keep on task and hurry up. I even went against my normal routine of putting my cart back in the cart return. (I hate it when people leave their buggies out where they do not belong)
I had to control myself from yelling back, "First, I am not your mommy. Secondly, why would I respond to someone yelling at me? Thirdly, "holla at me"? Why would I say yes; of course I would love for you to come over to me and yell at me some more? Forth, first you call me mommy, now you call yourself my brother? So you are saying I am a parent as well as a sibling? What backwater town do you think I am from? Lastly, yes, you have proved that I am way better than you? Yelling at a girl to get her to fall for your charm? What happened to chivalry? What happened to winning your girls affection? This is the kinda girl you want? A girl that can be yelled at and she will bend to your rules? If that is what you want, I am well above that and deserve better. And got better."
Does that work? Does it work to yell across the parking lot, store, a park or even the mall and get the girl? I guess it has to work because so many of the "boys" do it.
