I was waiting for the bus today, minding my own business. A truck drove by in the opposite direction and honked. I am startled by loud noises, so I looked up and saw a man driving away. When he saw that I looked up, he yelled, “Hey!!!! You sexy!!!” And then made a kiss face out of his window. I scowled but if course he was too far away to see.
A few minutes later, another guy in a vehicle drove by and ogled me out the window, again with a kiss face. I was disgusted.
I started texting a friend what was happening and he was appalled. Just as I sent him another text describing what had just happened, an old man walked by and said, “Hey hey, you pretty pretty!!! Nice hair!” I was too stunned to say anything back.
This happened in a span of ten minutes. I couldn’t have been happier when the bus finally arrived.
