Not So Subtle Secret Snapshots

I thought I would share a personal story with you about a particular event that happened to me recently. Before I do, try saying that title ten times fast! ha! However fun it is to say, it's also extremely accurate.

Ok, so a little background first. I work in a small business office as a secretary. We sell industrial auto parts and have several other locations throughout a couple of states. One office is only about an hour drive away, so we're in touch frequently.

The other day a man walks in at about 9 AM, after being in the shop with the guys and getting what he needs. It is now my turn to type up his packing slip and send him on his merry way. Well, that didn't work out as smoothly as it normally would have.
First, he insists he knows me from a work Christmas party, of which I have never attended. Not because I don't like the people I work with, I just don't want to go. Then tells me his wife works in the store nearby. I've talked to her many times on the phone.
Next, he tells me that I have to call his office to get a credit card number to pay for it. Why he hadn't had this all squared away before he came to see me. I don't know. In any case, I call and there is no answer (several times!). By this point, I am super frustrated because he keeps telling me, "Just keep calling." Did I mention it was 9 AM???
While I am sitting on the phone, I see in the corner of my eye his phone lift and point in my direction as if taking a photo. Generally I am a playful, fun-loving person, but not when the first thing I had to deal with in the morning is a pain in the butt customer. That being said, my reaction was anything but friendly.

So accurate...

I looked at him in confusion and disapproval and asked, "Are you seriously taking a picture of me??" I should mention I was also having a pretty bad hair day. Curly hair gets like that easily.
He gave me a silly grin, nodded his head and continued as if I hadn't just looked horror-stricken. "I'm sending it to my wife," he says.
I wanted so badly to scream, "Why? You creep." However, the fact that I was on the phone, one of my bosses was in the office right next door, and I honestly had no idea how to respond to that, meant I kept my mouth shut. Well verbally anyway. I mean what do you say? Or do, for that matter?
Most people take secret snapshots when the subject is interesting or funny in some way. I was simply on the phone, trying to get his stuff taken care of. Absolutely nothing fascinating about that. The least he could have done was ask me! I don't think it would have been any less creepy, but I would have at least had the option of saying no.
Once my boss heard my accusation, he made him leave and settled the bill with his office himself. I appreciated that.
I didn't really do or say much about this at the time. Over reaction or justified?
The things that happen to me... Sheesh. Believe me when I say that this was only the icing on the crap cake of inappropriate things to happen to me within the span of a week or so.


So there is my story. Anyone else have a not so subtle secret snapshot story?

Until next time,
