“Damn, girl.”

Home A Neighborhood Metro Center “Damn, girl.”

“Damn, girl.”

Jan 11, 2011 | Posted by User Submission |

I was coming home from work late and exiting the Metro faregates when two men approached me and said “Happy new year.” I said “happy new year” back and kept walking. As they passed me, the guy said “Damn, girl. Santa must have left you as a late Christmas present for me.”

I didn’t say anything back and continued exiting the station, but the two guys kept walking and commenting on my appearance as they went.
