My partner and I stood with our signs and waved at the early morning traffic driving by. It was the big day. Election day. Our organization decided to stake out an intersection next to an all-girls catholic high school. I noticed most of the cars were filled with teenage girls being dropped off at school. I figured, what's the point of waving to them if they aren't even old enough to vote? So, I stopped waving (it's not like they were paying me to do this). I noticed my partner was still waving, very enthusiastically in fact, at all the cars pulling into the school. I told him to stop waving at those cars, that it was pointless. He shrugged his shoulders at me and kept waving. I told him, "those girl area all too young to vote". He said, "that's not why I'm waving." Without thinking, I said, "then why are you waving at them?" He turned around and leered at me.
