Sigh.
Ok, so, we have yet another high school group, mostly band kids, staying with us for a couple days. As far as groups go, they are actually pretty good - chaperones are on top of things, the kids aren't out of control assholes, and they have yet to cause a single problem. The group, as a whole, I can hardly complain about since they've been so great. But, alas, there is a single catch.
See, there are two guys in the group who are, at best, 16 or 17. They have been hitting on me constantly since they got here, whenever the adults in the group are out of earshot. I'm 30, which means they are so far out of bounds I can't even begin to sum that up to begin with, but they're also customers...so even if they were 10 years older, I don't break the "don't shit where you eat" rule.
One of them even called me on it a bit:
Guy 1: You do think we're cute though, right?
Me: I think you're illegal, and that means nothing else I think matters. Sorry kiddo.
Guy 2: It's not like either of us would turn you in!
Me: You have absolutely no idea how little that changes things, do you? I'm going to walk away now.
Me being Captain Paranoia and CYA Boy combined, I've started avoiding them entirely unless there is an adult or a CW nearby to basically hear anything they or I say. My mind keeps playing this scenario where they claim I said something inappropriate to them as vengeance for basically ignoring their flirtations, so I'm definitely steering clear of any of THAT kind of crap.
And yeah, they may be cute...but I prefer a guy who's not...you know...illegal
What? I'm 30, not dead/blind
