So hard to not be sterotypical in these situations....
So here is the situation. Today at work I was getting a major headache, and I needed some caffiene. It's true. So I went to the gas station by my work. I walk in and go by the drinks, well there happens to be three hispanic people there warming up hotdogs, as soon as I walk by, one nudges the other one to look at me, and then all 3 of them are now gawking at me, while I get a drink. You know when you can feel people's eyes on you , and it is very uncomfortable, yes this is what was happening to me. So I am trying to ignore them, so then I walk over to look at some chips and they then proceed to whistle almost like they are chirping at me, like they are birds and I am thier prey. So annoying. One of them was like peeking at me through a rack of some stuff that was hung up. Ew! I post this because I am sick of it. It's not like I am just so wonderful to look at they can't help themselves, I think they do this to most women, not ALL of them, but some of them, and you just can't help but to categorize them into " THAT" category, you know the annoying, gross, male category of men who disrespect women. This has happened to me at that gas station a couple of times, and I just don't understand it! Oh well it's not the end of the world, just a bit of an awkward situation! And just because they are speaking in Spanish doesn't mean I don't get the just of what they are saying!

I used to have that sort of thing happen to me all of the time when I worked at the bank. It's lame, and instead of flattering you it makes you feel gross. Sorry that you have to deal with it.
THIS HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING AT THE MAVERICK BY MY WORK! Same situation, 3 of them getting hotdogs. So annoying...
Where they old? 40-50? I bet they were... "those" guys are the worst!! Those are the times that I wish I did speak spanish because it would be awesome to tell them off in their own language when they least expect it because I am a little white girl!! I hate that gross feeling...
Oh! That is so annoying!
ooh. hot mamasita!
kidding. that is annoying!
