Anti-Pick-Up Line Pins

---

When I turned 18, my sisters took me to Montreal. We were so swarmed by guys that it wasn’t even a thrill to get attention. So, the following year, my sister-in-law, Niki Logel, came up with anti-pick-up line pins. These were pins with sayings meant to repel guys, but in a funny way. It turns out the pins didn’t actually work, but they made pretty hilarious ice-breakers and we met some nice guys that year.

Anti-Pick-Up Line Pins:

1. Looking for a Commitment
2. Waiting for Marriage
3. Chronic Bed Wetter
4. These are Fake (Arrow Pointing Downwards) (Not sure this would repel anyone!)
5. Ask Me About My STD (would we say STI now?)

Anti-Pick-Up Name Pins:

You know how some people give fake names at bars? We did that too… except our names were from a different generation.

1. Pearl
2. Norma
3. Mabel
4. Mildred
5. Flo
6. Ethel
7. Dottie
8. Myrtle
9. Harriet
10. Marion

Looking at the pictures again, I realize we also had pins that stated our favourite drinks. I think we lost that list. I just see mine said, “I Like Woodies… of the Raspberry Variety.”
