tick me off

I had no plans to blog about this but the last couple days I randomly encountered some people during my lunch hour; running around; business meetings; via friends who got a bit on my nerves. Usually, I smile and brush it off - I have a pretty joyous nature. But today I when I was with Vlindertje, and I had to address one particular issue with an individual. We were on our way back from the mall and this person addressed me in front of Vlindertje. He complimented me on my legs, and my eyes. Vlindertje and I were both very uncomfortable with his approach In addition he stepped into my personal space, and was obviously drunk [ 6:00 PM EST]. I friendly asked him to step aside and not to speak with me anymore but he ignored me. When he was about to lay his hands on Vlindertje's hair, I had to intervene less diplomatic. I also buzzed BB, who came to the rescue within five minutes.

After this incident, I spoke to my brother and Camy. They understood the urgency especially considering my overall diplomatic and gentle demeanor We started to talk about what would tick us off and by the time I hung up the phone I was laughing with tears in my eyes. Of course I'm sharing our " did I tick you off???" list.
