“Stop harassing me!”

Home A Neighborhood Mt. Vernon “Stop harassing me!”

“Stop harassing me!”

Jul 2, 2009 | Posted by User Submission |

Last night around 9PM I was walking from the Mt. Vernon Square Metro to Mass Ave for a friend’s birthday party. It was raining and I thought I could avoid harassers thanks to my umbrella but I should have known better…

On 7th and Mass, there is a guy standing on the corner talking on his cell phone and he yells, “Hey beautiful.” I ignore him. Then he yells again (keep in mind he is still on his cell phone), “Hey you! I said you were beautiful. Those are some nice legs you’ve got.” I turn around and say, “Stop harassing me!” The person he is talking to must have said something because I hear him say, “No, just talking to some bitch that walked by.”
