Yahoo!

Tired of having random men “hitting on me” in Yahoo! Groups, I changed my age to 109.
Hey, it was outdated anyway. Just cause I added 79 years…..
The random man in question, incidentally, was in a regional forum for geocaching– not too hard to figure out where someone is, if you feel like stalking them in such cases, y’know? And the guy was 59. My profile read 28…. ewww!!!! It’s not that I have a problem with a big age gap, but EWWW!!! I don’t want to be stalked by creepy guys who are older than my parents.
And no, the “hitting on” was not “hey baby, wanna see my etchings?” It was more like “Hey, I don’t recognize any of the geocaches you mentioned, but I’ve found X and X and X in Hollister and I’m always looking for people to go geocaching with– are you in Hollister, too?”
…
I’ve never even been to Hollister. It’s something like 30 miles away from both home and work.
Dork.
Oh, yeah– and when I told John about it, he kind of smirked when I started talking, and when I got to the part where I said “and here’s where I figured out he was hitting on me,” he kind of said that he’d known the guy was hitting on me because he said “Hi, Stephanie…” and the rest was all just fishing.
So true.
Sometimes, I hate the Internets.
