I always go to the bank right by my office to deposit or pull out money. The ATM is located right inside of the bank, as most ATMs are. Whenever I go in and there is no one there, I leave my car running. I know, stupid of me, but we're in the "good" side of town and it takes literally 30 seconds. (I might have a post in the future entitled: I wish I didn't leave my car running outside the bank...)
So I get my money out and walk back to my car. The person parked next to me, a gentleman wearing ripped up jeans, a dirty t-shirt and looked no less than 65, decided to have the following conversation with me:
Guy: "It's a good thing we're not in New York, or you wouldn't be able to leave your car on when you go into the bank!"
Me: "I know, right?! Welcome to Mesa."
Guy: "So did you get your jeans at a store named Buckles?
Me (assuming he meant the famous denim store, Buckle): "No, they don't sell MEKs anymore. I got these at the Rack."
Guy: "Oh like Nordstrom?"
Me: "Right."
We then discuss the location of the Racks, the price of the jeans and...
Guy: "Well, without trying to sound creepy, they look very good on you."
Me: "Thank you, and that's never creepy to get a compliment, even from a stranger."
Guy: "Well, I was meaning the pockets. The pockets look good on you. I hope you don't think I was staring, but the pockets make you look really good."
(He continued to go on for about 30 more seconds on how great the pockets looked and in so many words, he was saying my butt looked good in my jeans. He went around the bush maybe 4-5 times.)
Me (trying not to make it awkward): "Well, that's not creepy. I guess that's what they're there for."
Guy: "Yes, yes they are."
And with that, I proceeded to get in my car, but not before the elderly gentleman winked at me. You think I'm making this up. Nope, he winked at me. It was kind of adorable.
Is it weird that it was like really flattering? That a guy checked out my ASSets at the bank? I don't think so. Thank you bank guy. You made my day :)
