My Foot Was Molested Tonight
6:46 PM Edit This 2 Comments »
I have never had this encounter before and I am left feeling a bit disturbed. Okay, as women, we have all had experiences where some old man left us feeling a bit dirty and repulsed by his inappropriate sexualized behavior. (Right? Please tell me I am not the only one...) But I never thought it would happen to my foot...
So I am at Whole Foods Market with the original intent to pick up some Mega Greens to put in my smoothies in the morning. They are great! More than a daily serving of all the vitamins, nutrients, minerals, etc. that your body could ever want! But I digress... Well, true to Gena fashion, I stroll over here and pick up this, then stroll over there and pick up that... finally stopping at their beautiful Burt's Bees display. I love Burt's Bees. And they have this Pomegranate shampoo that is so yummy. It's on the bottom shelf, so I squat down, kind of half resting on my foot. I hear something fall to the ground behind me and I don't pay any attention because I am smelling the pomegranate shampoo. Then I feel. Did someone just caress my heel? I turn around and there's is this older man- mid to late 50's- pretending to pick up what he had dropped on the floor. Okay. Maybe it was a fluke. It did fall pretty close to my shoe, which is a sling-back wedge so my heel is sticking out as I squat down. And it could have been a fluke that his hand grazed my heel as he picks up his item. Except that it was a solitary finger that stroked the bottom of my heel... as in, part way into the shoe... Poor foot. It feels so dirty and cheap. It's going to go shower now...
And to top it off I ended up paying $90 for a small bag of items. Damned Whole Foods! You get me every time!!
