they all tried coming on to her. don't they know it's never going to work?

if you've stayed in saudi arabia for any length of time, no matter how short, you've probably experienced it. if you read my blog, you've probably heard about it in posts like this. the creepy desperation of saudi guys. i'm not saying all saudi guys, but when you walk out your door and are bombarded by numbers, it really starts to feel like it's all of them.

and there is no age limit on the sleaziness.

yesterday (it mightve been the day before) we were in the car with K and her dad. they picked us up from our house and she needed to get something copied on our way back to their house. so we're driving to go to a kinko-type place and this light blue car flies out of nowhere, almost hitting us before swerving into the next lane. we're used to this kind of stuff here, but it's a reflex for me to look into the car as we pass it to see who's driving. it's some middle-aged man in sunglasses. one of those guys that look like they live in their parents basement, have some weird job, and dont get anywhere near enough sunshine (a difficult feat when you live in a desert). looking into guys' cars here is not a very smart idea, and as he glances over i look away.

we reach the copy-making place and K's dad goes out to make the copies while we all wait in the car. and guess who we see?? yup, creepy blue car guy. only, now he has taken off his sunglasses so we can get a good look at his eyes that make him look even creepier if that's possible. he starts pointing at his cell phone and giving leering smiles, waiting for us to ask for his number. and though we sit in the car completely ignoring him, he doesnt give up. he waits until K's dad gets back and we drive off before stopping his attempts.

i mean, really dude? you could be my father. you could be all of our fathers - maybe's K's older brother. why in the world would we take your number?? do we look as desperate as you?? even if we were, you would still be the last person to tempt me to take your number. seriously.
