not pinched yet but...

I just got off the phone with one of my cab drivers. He made up some story about sorry he missesd my call last night. yeah, I didn't call him. He was flirting hard. But he's cool. He's a local resource. He's from Yemen, lived in the US and speaks several languages. His english is excellent. I told him I want to talk about the muslim culture and women's rights. I want to see about helping women with whistles like we do in the US.
Anyways, he is like 10th guy on my tail, seriously on my tail. This is not to mention the casual one hit wonders. I had to verbal beat down this co-worker today. He comes over trying to correct what he perceived as a deficiency in my uniform. Then telling me he's doing it for my own benefit because other people might say something. Let them. I'm right, he's wrong but he thinks he has seniority. He keeps on other stuff trying to tell us how to do things. Then he wants to know my age, then where I'm from, blah blah blah. Have I been to Kuwait City? Would I like a city tour? I told him I had friends that I was going to go around with. Then he really starts. Come on, I'll rent a car, and give you a tour. Don't you want to go? Don't you at least want my number? What about my e-mail? I said, "how about your social security number?" He persisted. I said, "look here, you come over here giving me a hard time and then ask me if I want to go on a tour? I don't think so." It took about 7 no's to get rid of him. Little punk ass too. He ignored me the rest of the morning.
