i just got 'shot gunned'‏ ~a true story~

Whats that?
Let me fill you in.
I arrive at work... well, i arrive in the street where i park around the corner from work, I've got my RnB music pumping (don't laugh... it helps wake me up in the mornings!)
Anyway.
There's a couple of houses getting renovation's where i park so there have been tradies around in general over the last couple of weeks.
No complaints here.
I drive passed one guy & i cant help but gawk... just a lil bit.
By gawk i probably just mean stare... too much & too obviously... *oh dear!
Will i ever learn it's rude to stare?
In my own defence, it was a Friday. He's cutie. And he's looking at me. What am i supposed to do?
 After driving around looking for a car spot, i end up parking opposite the house getting renovation's that is full of tradies... feeling very conspicuous.
I finish my coffee in my car, I've still got some music on- i turn it down once i park so i don't look like too much of a twit.
I get out of my car... am too scared... aka chicken to even glance at the tradies working on the renovations.
(also hoping that i don't have any food, drink, marks on myself anywhere to be seen & hoping that i don't fall/trip over or something dumb like that..)
Then 2 seconds later as I'm walking along the street these 2 tradie guys are saying/yelling out loud: 
'SHOT GUN!!'
'SHOT GUN!!!'
And I'm like.. naaaa, as IF they're yelling about me.
That's really funny & quite an odd thing to be yelling out.
THEN.
..and then..
I hear one of the tradies say:

'I saw her when she was still in the car!'

Cue me walking off speedier now because I'm a little bit stoked/ a little bit freaking out/a little bit giggling like a 15year old girl about being 'shot gunned' thinking...
'CRAP! I gotta get in to work so i can email my girls!'
(and blog about it to you guys ofcourse!)
Happy (almost) Friday my loves!
xox
ps- Here is some trivia for you-
Back in the olden days~ I'm talking horse & cart era/ cowboys & indians era, there would be one guy up front who would be driving the horse & cart & sitting next to him would be a second guy who would carry a shotgun to ward off or even shoot any enemies who came along the way. (Or if in fact YOU are the bad guy, then it's to ward off the good guys trying to catch you along the way!) 
Therefore, when your friends yell 'SHOTGUN' as they're approaching your car or there's one piece of cake left, it means they just want to be riding up front with you or they get first shot on the cake.
Game on!
