Missed Connection
Her penny red hair stood out almost as vivid as her bright green eyes.
She was in line for the telephone booth when a young man bumped into her.
“So sorry, miss, my feet are both pointed left.”
Chuckling, she nodded and proceeded to wait.
“Mind if I ask you why such a fine specimen is waiting in a line?”
Grimacing, she looked him straight in the eye, “I am hardly a specimen as in an experiment or lab, but a woman seeking a job, just like many other of us, and, by the way, I need to make my connection, now.”

I like her! Good response to a very unfortunate ‘chat-up’ line! I hope she got the job!

Good for her addressing him like that. That’s a super woman heading into that phone booth.
(PS that phone booth makes this historical fiction)

She’s a sharp one. Hope he’s not competing for the same job, because he’s probably pounding his head against the wall for not coming up with a better introduction. Lol!
