Crises I’m tired. I set my alarm for 4am to do some work and hardly slept because I have a tendency to set it for pm instead of am and wake up at lunchtime. I have black rings under my eyes which are a direct result from my eyeballs sinking lower and lower into the sockets and bruising. So I was not really in the mood for the highway whoring this morning.
Just as I was holding my eyelids up a convertible BMW pulled up next to me packed with five guys.
‘Hey!’ with a hoot.
‘Jy is pragtig ne?’
Now what the hell do you say to that? ‘No, youuu are. No, no YOU.’
They proceeded to follow alongside me grinning and high fiving each other.
WTF?
The one with hair gushing out his toit shirt shouted ‘Meet you at the next robots!’
Oh yes please can I.
What the hell do guys like this expect to happen?
‘Oh my God yay! I’ve been waiting for guys like you to approach me! Please can I give you my number and we can all go out?!’
To avoid them, I pulled over at a petrol station. As I got out my car a bakkie pulled up next to me with what I assumed was a man, with no teeth and a cap perched on the top of his head. He slowed down next to me, leaned on his open window and said ‘Howzit.' while picking his gums with a toothpick.
Seriously?
I smiled politely and carried on walking. When I came out, he was still waiting for me.
‘Hi’.
Oh the witty repartee of it all.
I sighed and got in the car.
While I admire the courage of some guys and I know it can’t be easy to approach girls but really, what did this guy expect me to say? ‘I knew when I saw your cap, you and I were meant to be together’ or ‘I wish I was that toothpick.'
It was all too much for a Thursday morning.

You must be looking good. Two attempted pick-ups in one day...classic. Put it as a confidence builder and move on.
;-) could have been worse, the guys in the BMW could have followed you into the petrol station and got into a physical with the toothless wonder. Now that would have been a story.
That was you this morning?

No ways, could it be, is anonymous really one of the high fivers-dude how funny you reading a story about yourself, hehehe
So anon 1, what does Baglett look like (if it really was you), she promised to post a pic but i guess she's not so loyal to her loyal readers....
Sounds like you are a lady in demand.
A while ago a guy asked me what the chances are of a date, I told him zero considering I'm living with my boyfriend of two years. He decided this was a challenge and said, "Don't you want to think about it?"
How much do you guys think a pic of Baglett will go for on ebay...? I could do with some cash.
Um well, Im pretty curious to see what this chick looks like, so I'd be prepared to pay. Inform us when the bidding starts!
Wouldn't that be immoral?
How can it be immoral? She promised us a picture if she won so we all took some time out of our days to make sure she won, now she has gone back on her word! We are loyal followers, its only normal to want to see who you are following!!!! Bags i still think you're fab....Keep up the AMAZING work!!!
Baglett, would your name be Christine?
gasp!
Nooooo. Would your name be John?
I reckon it's a girl I know called Nicky. She's just moved to Joburg from Cape Town and works in marketing. It's you Nicky isn't it?
Oooh, you guys are getting sooooo close. One of you is spot on...
Yip, I did see her, I promise Anon2!
I know the route she takes to work and the car she drives.
I'll remember to take my camera to work with me next time - watch this space for a picture of BAGS!
