Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because, um, I'm leaving, I'm so very, very tempted to tell one of our AEs that I am not a graphic designer, and her requests are inappropriate.
I think I even can phrase this diplomatically.

I feel validated in the knowledge that, not only do I never know when somebody is hitting on me, I never know when somebody is hitting on anybody else.
Equal cluelessness for everybody!
I need big poster-cards with capital-letters and pointy arrows on them, and possibly a cheering section (face-painting, costumes, and pregame tailgating optional).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thinking you're Neuter Girl, not so FG.
No. Really not.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
IMO, a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
I flirt, but I never hit on. Flirting is the playful badinage that acknowledges sexual possibility. Doesn't have to have a whit of intent. I flirt with guys at the krav centre all the time. Hitting on means you actually want to do something about that, and ita don't play that. Well, hasn't. I don't think.
I do, in general, consider myself quite Neuter Girl. I don't even get flirted with much, much less hit on by people who aren't random strangers.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
For me - and this is Only Me - flirting is not always with intent. I can comfortably flirt with a wide range of people, and it's rarely serious. Hitting on is much like (verbalizing) ita's "You. Let's." with a "Now" often added in.

No You are asking the wrong person, BITCH then?
I'm oblivious to signals. Of course, even if I were to pick up on them, I'd likely ignore them.
