Holla Back, Girl
This is just the best thing ever:

Ah. Good times. I remember I was walking past the McDonald's on the corner of 7th and 55th when a young construction worker on break asked me:
"You wanna sit on my dick?"
Oh. Yes! That would be fabulous. Let me just go to Au Bon Pain and buy myself a sandwich, then finish reading the New Yorker, and I'll meet you right in THIS VERY SPOT so we can go ahead and do that. That sounds like fun. Wow. Am I lucky or what? Score!
What I actually did was stop dead in my tracks, turn around, and give him the finger. Usually I am too shocked in situations like this to actually react (the "What I should have done" usually comes to me later)--which is probably better any way becuase all they want is a reaction. But I just had to give it back to him this time. I am not the type to use the F word let alone give the hand signal but my hand couldn't help it.
My cousin gets hit on all the time on her walk back from where she teaches on Avenue D. Last summer she was feeling horrendous, sweating from the heat and the walk, and her hair was a big fat frizzy mess (she usually blow dries her curls straight.) She's just praying she won't run into Brad Pitt and staring at the ground. All of a sudden, there's this chorus of "Ay Mami"'s coming from under some deli awning. She couldn't believe it. These guys obviously couldn't have thought she looked good--they just couldn't ignore that innate desire to holla at any female walking by. When she told me the story she said, "I was like, can you just give me an hour? I'm going to go shower, reapply my makeup, put on a cute outfit and THEN you can "Ay Mami" me."
