Even with my reputation for attracting really creepy guys (warded off by my tried-and-true "I don't think my boyfriend will like that very much." defensive move, regardless of my actual relationship status), the attention is something I admittedly missed during my j-land adventures. However, I seem to be more than making up for it these days. There were a couple of tame ones (like the deli guy at Henry's who seemed to be really excited that I wanted his opinion on which sausage tasted the best {{shudder}}), but I think the guy yesterday might actually make the 'creepy guy' list. I was at my local Petco (where britto goes!) to buy a goldfish (something else I missed while in Japan) and attracted the attention of the overly-helpful fish guy. Now I know it's a pet store, but really, his emulation of a puppy-dog (following me all over, drooling, etc) was a little too much. The comments of "I expect to get a phone call on how that little guy (the fish) is doing." and "anything to help a fellow redhead" (most people would call me brown haired) edged him to the top, but having him ask to see my swimsuit (the tie was peeking out the back of my shirt) pushed him right into creepy-dom. I'm glad there's another Petco in the area, I don't know if he would be able to deal should I decide to dye my hair blonde.
