I was walking up the stairwell and caught a random guy behind me taking an "up-skirt" photo of me. What is the creepiest thing you've witnessed, and did you call the person out on their behavior?

The only problem with that is my girlfriend who is oblivious to this kind of thing (On purpose I think, it upsets her) would've noticed. As it was she just asked me why I was being rude and coughed right in a man's face while I had a pretty good cold (we were traveling over-seas, I hope he enjoyed the sinus congestion, nyuk nyuk nyuk). I told her not to worry about it and that he had it coming, and she took my word for it.

If I had to describe the way he looked in one word, it would be "Weasel"

I was standing in line at the airport with my girlfriend late at night, and every time we pass by this creepy middle-aged Indian guy (We're going through rows of lines, and he is 30 or so people behind us, so while we're moving he gets a good eyeful every time) and he is absolutely grilling my girlfriend's cleavage like it might reveal the secret to life at any moment. I don't mind when people look, but that kind of intent, hypnotic staring is not okay. She wasn't even wearing anything particularly low cut, either.

I glared at him the first few times until I knew he knew I was watching him. He did it again, then locked eyes with me afterward, so I fake coughed/spit in his face. Mostly spit. He kept his head down after that.

I don't feel any more connected to those kinds of creeps than I do Gorillas at the zoo.

Actually, I probably feel more kinship with the gorillas.

I think we all know what needs to be done, but its best we don't talk about it until after we have Nickelback, Adelle, Justin Beiber, Bruno Mars, etc, already on the trains on their way to the camps.

You complain when I fart, so I try to get it all out when I poop.

Then you complain that I poop for too long.

Make sense yet? "We can't win" is the name of that game.

No, you send it for the full cash value of the item.

Only trade items with other players for cash

This should be common sense.

"Oh but I have item X i'll just give it to you after"

Tell that guy to fuck right off, or sell his item and give you the cash, so you can buy the item after. Cash is the only safe thing to trade with. He really doesn't have a friend who'll buy the item for X dollars and sell it back to you for X dollars so he can get the cash? Bullshit.

Hey, you're that judgemental girl nobody likes, sit on that for a while.

We live in a free country, you can wear whatever you want, and people can say whatever they want. I'm just offering solutions for you (If you read this thread, you'll find there is not a single suggested solution), if you find people exercising their right to free speech that offensive. There are no other solutions, unless you want to move to a country where people don't have the right to say and wear what they want to, in which case go right ahead. Men will be beaten and imprisoned for cat-calling; women will be beaten and imprisoned for exposing their calves. Its the system many people in here are suggesting they'd like, they just don't see and understand the whole picture of what they're asking for; the full implications of equality regarding limiting freedom of expression are beyond them.

That is the nature of freedom, it has a great and sometimes terrible price. It is a give and take process, don't ask people to curb their freedom of expression if you're unwilling to do the same, that is called hypocrisy.

It is truly funny that many women in here suggest punishments right out of the middle-eastern law and order camp for people using their right to free speech, but any suggestion that they maybe curb their own expression if they find the expression of others so upsetting is met with derision.

I guess I'm past the point of expecting people to truly understand what equality and reciprocation mean in context, and at the point of just laughing at their ignorance and hypocrisy.

Friendly advice is all, its the price you pay living in a society where freedom is a right. You're free to wear what you want; everyone else is free to comment on that choice in a non violent manner. I never said women should dress that way or be forced to dress that way (key difference, hence not the same attitude), just the ones that greet male attention with fear might find themselves feeling safer on a day to day basis if they really don't understand why they're receiving that attention.

There is obviously nothing that can be done about the small and vocal percentage of the population that abuses that right, so unfortuately you may have to make behavioral/fashion changes to avoid them if their right to free speech is that fear inducing/offensive, because they're going to keep doing it, as is their right. I think plenty of people should shut the fuck up, but if I made it a mission to get them to do so, not only would I never have a minute's rest, but I'd be violating their rights as an American.

As I mentioned before, freedom is a give and take process. Asking others to curb their freedom of expression and refusing to do the same is called hypocrisy, pure and simple. Pointing that out gets down votes because people don't like to hear the truth, they'd rather just hear that people think their inconveniences should be fixed, because fuck everyone else's rights, its all about your personal discomfort.

Sadly, to many of the women I've met, it does.

Plus, that word gets thrown around so much it is meaningless. If all I have to do to be a "creep" is try to talk to girls my own age, I guess I'm a creep, and I really don't care. I don't live in a muslim theocracy so IDGAF if a certain brand of anti-social person thinks striking up a conversation with the opposite sex is "creepy". I have a right to free speech that extends far beyond what I use it for.

Not this MAN

theknightwhosays_nee · 1 day

When I was about 8 a friend and I were paid $4 each to ride the "scrambler" ride at a carnival with a very mentally handicapped man.

We of course were not informed this would be happening. His mom just stuck him in the seat with us, brought down the center safety bar, and the ride began.

He was enjoying himself, but since he was seated on the inside, a good 100 lbs heavier than my pre-pubescent friend and I, and also had no interest in holding on, he spent the whole ride crushing us into the corner, laughing in that very light-hearted and vacuous way people with heavy mental handicaps do, and drooling on us.

I would've done it for free if you'd warned me and put him on the outside, but come on, 4 bucks? It's just an insult, considering I don't think I've ever felt that kind of pressure on my ribs since.

I think you're an asshole

Hey, my girlfriend does too! You guys should start a club or something.

I don't see why that has such negative connotations...but then again, I'm an asshole with scruples.

I find it a vast improvement over the door mat I used to be.

When things go wrong, you should always have an asshole with you. There'll be a day you come to regret his or her absence. I'm the guy who will actually make those over-the-line cat callers regret it, when I throw my milkshake all over their windshield.

Reddit doesn't like that, but you were right initially, the great thing about being the kind of person that people can label an "asshole" is that you really don't care what people who are wrong think or what labels they think they've got stuck on you. Freedom is it's own reward.

Yeah, I really only whistled back when I was 15.

Now I use my words or body language (i.e. winking, I mean, come on, how could I possibly be less offensive/intrusive?) but I really don't bother with that much anymore, either.

When I'm trying to meet girls now I bring out my dogs, then I don't have to worry about attempting unwanted conversations. If you just want to talk about them/pet them, that's fine. I'm at a rare point in my life where females get more out of relations with me than I do, and I really don't expect things from people just because we had a light conversation.

There are plenty non-lethal alternatives you can legally carry to make you feel safer, if you actually cared you could look them up and learn to use them.

Most of the girls I wink at don't think I'm treating them like "tits and a vagina held together by some flesh", considering if it isn't met with icy-fear it leads to a conversation, which is something I don't waste time doing with genitals. So I'm going to go ahead and continue to do so.

Don't worry though, with that attitude, I wouldn't even consider engaging you with the look that'll be on your face. I know the face and body language of people who want to be left alone, and forcing interaction isn't something I do.

you making a sexual pass

I came in here to try to explain that most of us aren't doing this, but the stories described are so far away from anything I've ever done I can't even relate. The way I've done it doesn't get me dirty looks or fear, people can actually talk to me.

Who yells at women on a crowded street?

5minuteconsult · 2 days

Well, legally speaking a wink and a whistle is nowhere near harassment, and some of us are the kind of person that engaging others in simple discourse isn't harassment so much as the way we live our lives every day. It isn't a invitation that I find you "fuckable" as you put it. Just a way to pass the time and practice our social skill-set.

You sound like you've got some insecurity issues you need to deal with.

Might I recommend a can of mace or something? We're not all rapists, but whatever makes you feel confident enough that you can be paid a compliment by a stranger without being severely shaken.

5minuteconsult · 2 days

I mean, yeah, but I never yell/mutter anything as graphic as that. More just a wink or a whistle. It isn't meant to make you uncomfortable, just paying credit where credit is due. Try more sweaters/sweatpants if you find it really that disturbing. You're free to wear whatever you want, as is your right; men are free to comment on that choice in a non-violent manner, as is their right. Don't ask people to curb their freedom of expression if you're unwilling to do the same, it is hypocritical.

Plus, I'm a pretty decent looking (from what I've been told) 20 something, so it isn't quite the same, the feeling could much more likely be reciprocated (and frequently is), and I don't do it when you/I are busy (i.e. grocery shopping) or in a crowded area and I definitely don't yell. You can say you don't like it, but I've met plenty of girls who don't mind striking up a conversation with a stranger, which is all I'm trying to do, because I'm usually pretty bored...and no, my opening line has never been "I like your boobs" or even "I think you're pretty" or any permutation of that feeling. Just a topical conversation usually relating to the environment. If it it's forced, I drop it, and if you've got your head down and you're busy, I don't even try to begin with.
