“A man on the sidewalk made a slurping noise”
Location: Shaw (7th between Q & R)
Time: Daytime (9:30am-3:30pm)
I was walking to grab lunch after my usual Saturday yoga class. A man on the sidewalk saw me, made a slurping noise, and told me I “look delicious in those pants.” He tried to get my attention but I ignored him, walking past.
