How do you counter that?

Nov 24, 2010 | Posted by User Submission |

I was biking down Mount Pleasant street on my way to work around 8:45 in the morning. As I approach the 7-11, there is a middle-aged man looking up the street at me. Right as I pass by, I get this gem of a line shouted at me, in a pretty aggressive tone:

“I’m going to bend you over the kitchen table and f-ck you, bitch.”

I was too disturbed to do anything but turn around and glare. How do you counter that?
