heck, i've even been propositioned by a skycap at the airport WHILE he was on the job carrying luggage..... LOL.

it's all about perspective, people. i've encountered some of this but i just laugh and say 'nope, no thanks, i'm already taken care of' *wink wink* and ppl back off every time. in 23 years it has never escalated into unpleasantness or what some call 'aggressiveness'. nobody has ever put something in my hand, slathered aloe on my skin, or tried to force their way into my bed. I don't perceive it as a bother or an intrusion, just part and parcel of the place. yah i could have some emotional reaction, or complain, or get annoyed - but why bother? that's how it is there and my little feelings about it aren't gonna change a thing. so i just roll with it, and have had some hilarious conversations with people, some of whom have become acquaintances over the years & greet me normally whenever they see me pass by.
