The other day I was walking home from an evening class down a fairly busy street toward a 4-way junction. It was just after 6 and the sun had already gone down, so it was night-time by then. As I was walking a truck load of about 10 men passed by me and exclaimed a loud “WOOO!!!” and everyone on the street and at the junction looked around.
Usually I’m anywhere between mildly annoyed to pissed off at being harassed in public… but that was so funny, so unexpected and so harmless that I just laughed.
Sometimes you have to have a sense of humour about these things.
