Today there's some big dedication hulabalo where I work so I dressed extra nice.

| Zomg not wearing my skirt! |
I'm on the bus and at the first stop after I've gotten on, some dude gets on and ends up sitting next to me. So I am sitting there wearing black pants, an oxford shirt, computer bag on my lap and 3" heels (which, at time of writing, were giving me about 5,000 blisters btw) in my hands.
He "cleverly?" asks me if they are dance shoes. And I was like "um what? No, they're just hard to walk in...how do they look like dance shoes?"
Which is true. For some unknown reason they have felt on the ball of the shoe. Presumably to make them either less slippery, or so that it's easily apparent once they've been worn so they won't be in a returnable condition.
Then he started going on about his dance partner having to "not only have to learn to walk in heels, but at the same time how to walk backwards in heels."
I started at him blankly and then realized he meant cause girls tend to move backwards when dancing.
And I thought the conversation was over. I wondered what the chances were that a) he was not a student/age appropriate for me, 2) he didn't think I was a student, and 3) if he thought this line of questioning was working to impress me.
Then his last ditch effort in his hitting on me:
Yup. Even dressed as nice/grown-up looking as possible, it's not cause I work here, it's cause I'm a student with a presentation.
Then he got off the bus silently. At least he thought I was cute.
