stalked

Being a cute girl has its pluses and minuses. Sometimes, those pluses and minuses can even rolled into the same experience. I will share with you one such of these experiences now.

The other day, I took Lucy (my car) in to the Subaru dealership for a routine oil change and maintenance. It is my understanding that a high proportion of female Subaru drivers are lesbians, so being a cute straight girl with a Subaru is unusual. When I pull into the service center, I immediately have attention rained on me from all directions, which is great because a) it boosts my ego and b) I get better, faster service. All I had to do was smile and I was in and out of there in under an hour.

Now for the downside of this experience. The technician who worked on my car left his card with his cell number in my cup holder. This is mildly amusing, but not necessarily a cause for alarm. However, when I got an email from him the next day, I got a bit uncomfortable. The man Googled me. He effin' Googled me and then had the nerve to reveal to me he'd done so by emailing me! Can we say "stalker"? I am seriously disturbed by this. To get the guy off my back, I wrote him back and told him I was seeing someone. It seems to have worked, but now I'm afraid next time I take my car in, he's going to sabotage it!!!! :(

See, being cute can be a total catch-22!
