Cutesy Eyes Don’t Work
I was accompanying a friend who gave tours in a cavern system. That day, they had a school visit. 14/15 year old, I guess. Someone else was giving that particular tour, and we were walking behind, telling kids in the back to move along so no one would get lost.
So this girl wanted to duck into a side cove with some of her classmates, and we weren’t having that, so I told her no, and to move along with the group. Then she walks up to me, gives me big, cutesy eyes, and says “Oh please, can we go?”
However, being 20-something, I’d already seen way too many girls pull that crap, so I told her, for all her friends to hear: “Listen, that might worth with the boys in your class, but not with me. Move it!”
She rushed to the front and didn’t bother us anymore.
