Being a student studying at an art school in downtown San Francisco, I always dread slow tourists as I try to get to class. I overtook a slow-walking tourists without even touching his shoulders or having contact with him. I literally just passed on the left side and kept fast walking. He started shouting insults to me and I was shocked as I never did anything to get such reaction. Now I get such insulting reactions almost once a week.
Optional: Do you have any suggestions for dealing with harassers and/or ending street harassment in general?
Fight back. Tell them when they insult you.
