Last year my mother came to visit me for a week. It was great, and we were just walking back to my apartment from a trip to the beach. As we finished crossing the street an old man smiles at us and makes an “Ehhhh?” sound. My mother, being the exceptionally polite and amazing person she is, says, “Good Morning”.
To which he responds by leering at our chests, miming with his hand like he was grabbing a pair of boobs, and chuckling and saying “Ehhh? EHhhhhhhhh?”
My mother and I stormed off…but I’ve never seen her so disgusted. And I was embarrassed to tell her that things like that happens all the time…
