I was walking down the street to wait for a bus. Then a truck passes by and a guy opened his window and stuck his head out and yelled, “Hey baby, why don’t you come over here and let me take you for a ride?”
I was not flattered at all and find it very offensive. I just gave him an annoyed look but I should have talked back.
