I'm married, dude...

On my way home from a baby shower today, I found myself stopped next to one of those big white vans with no windows; you know, the kind that kidnappers drive.  I glanced over to see the driver smiling and nodding in my direction as if to say, "Yeah, baby, you know you want this!"  Really? Do I? It wasn't enough for me to just turn away and instead I instinctively gave him a dirty look and shook my head as if to say, "No, sicko, I don't want that."

As I drove away I thought to myself, was this the best way to react in that situation?  If I had played nice and innocent and smiled, that guy probably would have begun making obscene gestures right back.  If I had simply looked back at the road, he might have thought, "Oh yeah, she totally wants this."  Instead, I decided to nip it in the bud and make my point absolutely clear, "I'm disgusted...married, and disgusted!"  I think I've done my civil duty for the day.  Maybe, just maybe, that guy will think twice about ogling the next lady he stops next to at a traffic light.

Oh, and by the way, I've crafted.  Check me out.
