This happened when I was in a public transit bus around noon. I was sitting right beside the window on the right side of the bus. There weren’t a lot of people in bus since it was a Saturday and this bus takes you to a university. The bus stopped at a red light and I noticed two men who wouldn’t stop looking at me. They looked old and intoxicated. They were pointing at me and exchanging words to each other. I tried my best not to look at them. One of them knocked on the window and said something. He then proceed to give me a ”kissy face’ and licked his lips.
I started to ignored him but he wouldn’t stop knocking on the window. It was a loud continuous knock and the rest of the passengers wouldn’t stop looking at what was going on. I was so embarrassed and angry at the same time. This actually makes me question my appearance. Is it because of the way I dress or how I do my makeup that makes men want to street call? Why must men do this to women? This is so wrong.
