I’m walking through Farragut Square right in front of the Farragut West Metro Station. There is a group of four women walking in front of me. A guy handing our newspapers walks up to them and tries to hand one of the a paper. He says, “you are too cute not to take this paper.” The women say they are not interested but the guy persists and keeps saying, “come on take a paper. you are so cute.” Finally one of the women puts her hand back to push him away. He still attempts to give them a paper one more time before walking away.

I was walking back to work from Union Station when I pass a guy wearing huge headphones. He goes “Hey baby, how’d you get that cute ass? How’d your ass get so cute?” bursting my happy little bubble of just talking on the phone with an old friend while having a good coffee. I say back “please don’t harass people you don’t know.” He gets a block past me, yells “shut the fuck up!” and goes on his merry way. I wish people I didn’t know would not invade my personal space (whether it be physical OR my mental personal space) and then get mad when I don’t love the attention.
Seriously, it gets on my nerves. And kind of scares me because he got so angry so close to my stomping grounds.
