Really?

The people of Chicago have an obsession with my birthmarks. Seriously, everyone asks me about the birthmarks on my neck and usually they ask:

"Are those hickeys?"

EVERYTIME. Guys, girls, everyone, everywhere.

Tonight, while with my cousin I got:

"Are those birthmarks or hickeys your boyfriend gave you so I wouldn't come up and talk to you?"

So smooth. Really.

It is starting to annoy.

Then, it was followed by another guy calling me "sexy" as I walked down the steps of the "L" platform.

I just don't understand how approaching someone as a sexual object if going to make them like you. Especially when you mention their birthmarks.
