........and she got offended when I informed him of her age. Apparently for the second time, he "conveniently forgot" the last time he came in and asked her out she told him she was 17.
Year of the Cat
Like GIRL, this is INAPPROPRIATE ON SO MANY FUCKING LEVELS!!!!
Year of the Cat
Like, to her credit, she does look more like 20 than 17, but when hearing a person is 17, your next line of questioning shouldn't be "So when are you turning 18?"
Catgirl Crimes
Oh. Oh. Gross.
Year of the Cat
Dude, I understand you're a fuckboy who hits on anything female and breathing while being sure to mention as many times as possible in the conversation you're a male model, which he's also done to ME before, but this was waaaaaayyyyyy out of line.
Year of the Cat
And she's sitting there being a dumbass 17 year old and being all ~tee-hee!~ about this instead of shutting it down herself because....idk, she found the attention flattering?????
Catgirl Crimes
Like. Hit on people your own age, buddy. She's close to half your age and that is not a good look. Yeah, 17 year olds don't have the best perspective.

I think when ur 17 you can sometimes be too young to understand the gravity of what is happening and it's implications
Year of the Cat
In the meantime, my dumbass manager was sitting in the back mooning over the fact his girlfriend of two months dumped him instead of summarily putting a stop to all this nonsense by making an excuse like saying we had lots of work to do and so he needed to take a hike.

You are still technically a child and at that age might not fully grasp why it's so fucked. Which you know is just another reason why it's so fucked
Catgirl Crimes
It's a "I feel v mature and an adult because an adult is paying attention to me" that's pretty across the board for 17 year olds regardless of gender I think.

: Oh, definitely. She got annoyed with ME for saying anything at all, rather than say, the ephebophile who was hitting on her.
Catgirl Crimes
Like you're trying to assert your adulthood at that age sooo
Catgirl Crimes
But still onus is on customer to not be a gross creeper
Year of the Cat
Like this is a very YOUNG 17 year old too, even if she's turning 18 in December. She's driven every day to work by her stepmother. When you're still in the "Mommy is driving me to work" stage and at only your second real job ever, you're too young to be asked out by a grown-ass man.
Year of the Cat
But I have feeling she thinks she's Mimi from Rent. "I'm old for my age."

17 is so young!
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈
I had the same feelings at that age, thought it was amazing that older dudes were hitting on me.
Catgirl Crimes
Like sir, if you're an older man cruising for teenagers, maybe you better evaluate your own problems if you can't maintain a relationship with people your own age.
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈
But when you'e 17 you're still a kid!
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈
You did a good thing though. She'll see it eventually.

But lets be honestly, no one thought they were a kid when they were 17 hahah
Catgirl Crimes
But ugh I am so squicked out that dude
Year of the Cat
Dude, he's all kinds of fucked to begin with. Been engaged before and apparently that was total amounts of drama, total fuckboy who uses girls and treats them like Kleenex to be used and dumped, and totally up his own ass about how attractive he is since he's a legit model and actor.
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈

guys who think they're hot are not hot.

I just wish my manager would have gotten off his ass and done something to put a stop to this shit. Like on both sides, having a customer do that to your UNDERAGE EMPLOYEE is a good way to get the cops at the shop and having your underage employee flirting back and responding is also NOT PROFESSIONAL.
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈
yeah. DON'T FLIRT WITH GUYS AT WORK. it's always bad.
𝒩𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝒮𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈
always.
Year of the Cat
YUP. If you really, REALLY want to ask someone out, you tell them you can't talk right now, here's your number, call me when I get off work. BAM! Done and no harm, no foul.

but they will still harass you likely. neveragain

Ew. I feel like guys who troll for very young girls are specifically looking for someone they can have complete control over, because a woman his age probably won't stand for his bullshit.
