You're thinking of Jersey.
All those damn "New" states.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I'm making a distinction between "hit on" which is creepy and or sleezy, and flirted with, which is pleasant and innocuous.
Combining them both barely shifts my numbers, but I concede that it's totally not about quantity when you're experiencing it. Just when you're tabulating and analysing. Which is totally not something I'd do.
Okay, time to take my perkygoth self out to nap in the car.
Bats and glitter! Bats and glitter!
Uh, sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I spent 10 minutes this morning trying to find a shirt that didn't hurt my sunburn from Sunday.
It didn't work.

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?

Speaking as a frequent sunburn sufferer, the only one that will probably work is the shirt you wore Sunday.
I have been known to wear my bathing suit under a shirt for work because a bra killed me and I am not about to go out in public without some sort of support. The only solution was to wear the suit I got sunburned in and then suffer with an oversized t-shirt.

This post makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.
I don't think I get hit on very often. If I *am* getting hit on, it's subtle enough that I don't notice.

Unfortunately, that shirt is dirty (gelato), plus the sunburn is bad/noticeable enough that I want to cover it.

Lee, try using aloe vera gel with lidocaine. It helps with the pain. Also, tylenol or advil or whatever pain reliever of your choice.

Lee, when you get home, run a tepid bath and throw 5 or 6 bags of plain black tea into the tub. The tannins in the tea will help with the sunburn.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm pretty well adviled up, but I will have to steal some black tea from here, and stop at Walgreen's on my way home so I can try the other stuff.
