Sierra's Slice of the Day: When Polite Is A Problem

SOURCE: FreeFoto.com
So I headed out to my car today to run some errands.  It had been snowing—big shocker—so  I needed to clean off my car before I headed out.  While completing this task two of the neighbor “hoods” choose this moment to head out to their car.  I’m a Midwest gal so when someone says "hi" to me I do the polite thing and return the greeting.  Clearly this was a mistake.  I must have smiled too much or made to much eye contact because apparently I was asking to be hit on.  I was not interested and I had things to do so I wanted to end this conversation quickly after he inquired if it was possible for us to "get together".   So I implied that I was involved with someone and the two of us had a fun time on New Year’s Eve.  His next question to me was “Did you get plugged up good?”  Umm WOW. I think it actually took several minutes of silence to process what he meant and my mind has a permanent residence in the gutter!  Who says sh*t like that? My response was “I never kiss and tell”.   How the hell do I attract conversations like this?
