How NOT to get the girl...

[miss_squiddy]

You know that guy with the bandana who cleans windscreens on Death Junction? He keeps trying to chat me up. I always get my windscreen cleaned for free. Whether I want it cleaned or not.

The top 3 creepy things he's said:
1. "I'll clean your windows for free. 'Cos I FANCY yer."
2. "You ever need anyone to clean your windows at home, give me a shout. I'll do it for a cup of tea. An' if you run a nice bubble bath, we can hop in it after."
3. "Stressed are yer? Lemme jump in [the car] next to you and I'll soon sort that out."

The top 3 creepy things he's done:
1. Grabbed hold of the doorframe of my car so I couldn't drive off.
2. Grabbed both my hands and started chatting away when me and HP walked past.
3. Recognised me from the back of my head when he rode past on his bike one day.

So euuwwww. I need to find a new route back from work. Or find someone scary looking to jump out the car and threaten him. darkapothesis? (Cherry Tango and 10p crisps on offer!)

hmmmm time to find a new route to work methinks, i'm sure
you could convince joe to kill him for cherry tango and
10p crisps or maybe a little beer ;)

seriously though if he keeps bothering could you maybe get
the police to have a quiet word with him, I mean if he's creeping you out it might be a good idea.

[miss_squiddy]

It is creepy, but I don't think it's serious enough to bother the police with. If' he'd actually tried to get in the car, that would be a different matter.

this is true sounds like a bit of a gwat :)

[miss_squiddy]

You're just jealous of creepy windscreen washer guy's fine style.

Maybe you need to start carrying offensive weaponry in your car, and display it prominently at said junction?

[miss_squiddy]

I've got a rather hefty stoplock which might come in handy, but I think a Glaswegian Steve Austin (!) would be more effective.

Sounds just the job!

I fail to see why him holding onto your door frame prevents you driving off, but then I'm a bit beligerent like that (I've twice 'flicked' people off my car who decided to climb onto the bonnet, by accelerating then jamming on the brakes).

I have to say I'm particularly beligerent at the gits who hang about traffic lights with dirty rags. When I got my shinny new company car a few years ago, less than a week later one of these sods ignored my saying 'no' at Tottenham Court Road, proceded to smear crap all over my windscreen anyway, then when I reiterated no and wouldnt give him money (I didnt even have any money) the sod put a scratch right accross the Panther Black bonnet, in fact I think he had a nail on the end of his squegee for the purpose. Sadly for me (although it was a bit of a life saver for him) I didn't realise till the next day when I saw the smear of dirty water on the bonnet with the scratch under.

Since then I've had an incredibly dim view of these sods, and would probably run them over before letting them put a dirty rag on my window again.

Back to your incidents though, that doesnt sound good, in fact I think I'd be talking to the police about it. What he's said goes a fair way beyond playful banter, and if he's seen and recognised you away from that junction and your car there is some cause for concern.

Just be careful if you do do anythign against him, not to let him near you or yor car again.

Remove your car windows- that will foil the frustratingly freaky flannel faring fenestrator

I think "flailing" woulda sounded better than "faring"...

Although you did fail to mention one minor drawback with your otherwise cunning venture... doesn't this mean instead of windows, Squiddy will result in a face full of flannel?

[dang.livejournal.com]

On reflection i concur that 'flailing' would indeed flow better of the tongue

Sounds like she's already getting a face full of flannel matey ;)

[miss_squiddy]

Oi!

'Oi!' what my most lovely of live journaller's?

[miss_squiddy]

It doesn't matter any more... You've charmed your way back into my affections.

Hooray

Sometimes having the tongue of a PR professional has its advantages ;)

[miss_squiddy]

Reminds me of that Blackadder quote (a bit):

"He's got the tongue of a PR professional and he likes the taste of a woman's tonsils!"

Flash git by name and flash git by nature! Like the cephalapoid tentacles squiddy, gives me something to hang onto. Woof!

I'm just impressed you have a junction called "Death Junction"! Optimistic bunch, aren't you?
