Best Pickup Line of the Day
|
In South America people yell things at each other. If you happen to be of the female persuasion, you have things yelled at you a lot. If you happen to be a foriegn female…well, just get used to it. (it’s also completely okay to stare, but that’s not what this post is about) Most of the time it’s harmless, but it can be annoying day in a day out. I have to admit, I don’t have it nearly as bad as my female friends traveling solo. The boyfriend's presence fends off the majority of remarks. I know this because when he’s not walking beside me the comments increase, both in frequency and color. Today though, I had a great one. We were doing a little dinner shopping in the market in Salta, Argentina. While Ben was paying for something I wandered down the next aisle which happened to contain house plants. One of the vendors leans out and says “Over here Miss! There are discounts if you’re single!” I have to give him that one on creativity. There are a lot of good lines out there. Hit me with your best shot. |
You don't even have to leave the country to get cheesy lines.
Just today from my mechanic
"The hub-cap is just to beautify the tires...like your beautiful face!"
I got one as I walked to my car one night "Baby, you are hotter than a Ferrari in compton!"
Good morning ladies...may I hassle you? hahahahaha
I like that one...
I got all my best ones from carpet touts in Turkey - it's the first Asian country I've been to where the men had something witty to say instead of just staring, muttering, and/or hissing and making noises like they're trying to call a strange dog. (What is with that, honestly?)
My Top Five, from a week in Istanbul:
5) "Hello... Is it me you're looking for?" (We were pretty sure it was a deliberate Lionel Richie reference, but who knows.)
4) "Good morning Ladies, may I hassle you?"
3) "Wait, Miss, wait, you dropped something!" [Me, turning around:] "What?" "My heart, you dropped my heart!"
2) [To my friend and I:] "Hello, Miss World 2006. Hello, Miss World 2007."
1) "Are you from Canada?" [Me:] "Yes! How did you know?" "Because I saw you in my dreams last night..."
Aahhhhhh Turkey, they put so much effort into their heckling there that I almost miss it!
