“I don’t appreciate that.”

Home My Streets, Too “I don’t appreciate that.”

“I don’t appreciate that.”

Aug 7, 2009 | Posted by User Submission |

Walking home, a man on the porch said, “Good morning, Beautiful.” I responded flatly, “I don’t appreciate that.” He was surprised and I kept walking. One block away, as I was at my door, he rode by on his bike and yelled, “Fuck you, you stuck up bitch!” I yelled back, “Sir, can I explain?” I wanted to explain to him how his comment of “beautiful” made me feel, but he wouldn’t stop.
