Today I was at work and this 'strange' looking customer asked for my help. He was in his 30's wearing something a 12 year old would wear (a big purple barney t shirt) He was blabbing on and on about a certain product in which our business didn't have and I told him where he can go and get it and this is how the conversation went:
DjDamage: If you walk over across the street 'that company' might have what you are looking for.
The guy: "ok thanks" and then he yells: "ROB come here!!" and then he says: "actually a friend of mine wants to meet you and he is a bit shy and he is hiding... you see he is GAY and he thinks you are real handsome!!....."
DjDamage: ok (a bit stuned never expect this, so in a calm matter I said): "well this is the end of our conversation. I am not interested, have a good day" ( I am sure he saw that I was getting p1ssed)
The guy: ohhh okk I hope that you are not mad or anything that a gay guy thinks you are cute.
DjDamage: no and thank you... hope you find what you are looking for.
In reality I was a bit pissed since I do not apperciate a homo coming into my work and bluntly tries to hit on me in which it could ruin my reputation and respect as a result. Am I over reacting into this whole situation? or am I right? how would you handle it, knowing you are in a business environment and you can't walk away or respond in a negative way?!! What makes a gay dude thinks he can come into a workplace and practiclly announce the he has a crash on another dude that works there!!!?? WTF is wrong with this world??!!
