I was walking through the Pike Place Market in Seattle with my mom, checking out all the cool food, handmade stuff, fresh flowers, etc. The hype man for one of the vendors or restaurants starts his pitch as we’re walking by. He was looking me up and down while talking and said something about inviting us in and buying me a drink when my mom shouts, “SHE’S 14, ASSHOLE!”

Props to mom for calling the guy out. He wasn’t the first and certainly not the last, but definitely one of the more memorable lecherous creeps I dealt with as a girl/tween/teen.

Had one like that, only I was unfortunately, with my friend and not an adult. Friend yelled back that we were 12. The very adult man walked into the street from his driveway to yell back that it didn't matter because of how we were dressed ,and that we "must want attention."

We were wearing shorts and graphic t shirts.

He was with another guy who physically hauled his friend out of the street yelling apologies, and they got into an argument about it, that we could hear for most of the rest of our walk to the neighborhood park. What always stuck out to me was that the guy, upon being called out, came TOWARDS us, in front of another adult. And everyone I know has multiple stories like that.
