I was getting lunch at Wendy’s and a guy who was hanging out there asked me, “Do you want him to give you a foot massage along with that burger?” when the employee brought me my food. I told him, “Leave me alone.” When I asked for more ketchup because the machine was empty, the same guy said, “Oh here honey, I’LL help you” and grabbed a ridiculous amount of ketchup packets and put them on my tray, even as I was saying, “No, stop it.”

Don’t be afraid like I was! I should have confronted this creep more directly. What was he really going to try to do in the middle of the day in a busy fast food restaurant anyways?

Gee what douche canoe. You could call the business’s number and complain about him. He sounds real brazen like he’s done that many times before.

How weirdly creepy is this guy? I agree, what’s he hoping to happen in a fast food joint anyway? Personally I would like to know what is it with some guys not only not taking the hint? Once she says no, there is no “possible yes” for you.
