I get harassed in some way at least once a day living in London, but today’s encounter was extra special.
As I was outside the door to my flat I heard a car pull up behind me and someone hollering at me (“Yo bitch” – etc.)
I turned around to see a man probably in his mid-20s, with two females in the back, sticking his head out the window and asking me, “What’s up” and if I want to “come for a ride”.
I rolled my eyes and turned around to walk in my door…
Of course as soon as I do this things change and the guy starts calling me a “fucking bitch” and a “stupid cunt” and that now he knows where I live.
Brilliant.

I would take a pic of his license plate with my cellphone camera and send it to the police, the local paper, and local politician and tell him that I know who he is, too! I have had a harasser arrested at my local pool (he was drunk and harassing me and my friends and our kids because he wanted to smoke and it was against the rules)… Don’t take that lying down! Go after him!
