What's the worst catcall you've gotten/witnessed, ladies?

Last night: a guy in his fifties came up to me at an art opening and asked just WHO the hell I thought I was, then offered to sing the Grease soundtrack to me.

  • i don't know if this is the worst, but it is local.

    scene: in front of laundry city on grand, winter.
    me: small woman pushing granny cart with HUGE teetering pile of laundry bags up icy sidewalk
    guy on corner: watching me struggle

    GUY: "Hey baby, you and me get together, you could do my laundry"

    note to any men reading this: we all know that's how it would go, but you don't have to lead with it, okay?


    and wednesday, some guy on the shuttle saw me on the platform and said i looked like i should be selling muffins. i'm not sure what that means, although apparently it had something to do with my skirt. which did not have muffins on it.
  • Well I admire your willpower in resisting the laundry line. Thank god another broken heart in this world was avoided.

    Not sure about the muffin thing.

    The worst I saw was a guy driving slowly, following a girl walking down the street. He got out and came up to her, asked for her number etc. She said no and kept going. Suddenly he's yelling at her as she continues down the street: "bitch! i was acting like a gentleman! bitch!" etc. etc.

    And just yesterday I heard about a great one. A friend of a friend went on a first date with an attractive guy. Halfway through he pulled out some pills and layed them out on the table. He said "I have to decide if I'm taking these now or not." V1agra.
  • i think the answer to that would be, "or not"
  • 1 - Back when I had co-workers , one of them walks up to me and asks me if I like lobster , I say , "no"'. He asks , "do you like crab legs?" , I say" no". He asks, " do you like oysters ?", I say "No-why??. He says to me ,"Damn girl , how am I gonna know where to take you out on a date?".
    I liked him , as a friend. I told him that I couldn't and explained further and he said that he understood.. After that he went back to just flirting , he didn't try to take me out anymore.

    2- This was a month ago , here in Brooklyn. I can't say what store , because the guy might be married , and you never know who reads these boards. I go shop there sometimes , he was always just staring at me whenever I was near his area, and then he has a biiig smile on his face as soon as he sees me about to approach him for his services. He just stands there giving me goo goo eyes , lol , he did it infront of another woman shopper and she just looked at me like "wtf is wrong with this guy?". I thought , eh , he just has a little crush. A few months of this and then he finally just comes out and tells me that he likes me. He says , " I like you baby , you beautiful , I wanna take you for food."(---For food?? what? Not this shit again , I know I look like I like to eat , but damn , can't you guys say movies or park??)--Sooo , I told him that I am married. He says ' "c'mon baby , where can I take you?" . I again say that I am married , and he insists , so I say "no I can't". A male customer walks up and he doesn't say anything else about it. I finish and leave. Even if I wasn't married , dude ain't my type.Take me for food?

    3- This was 3 months ago , on the 4 train. It was packed and quiet , everyone in their own world. A guy standing next to me , kinda behind me , decides to put me on the spot infront of everyone. He says to me , "You're gorgeous , can I have your number?" . I look at him and say , "no , I'm married." He says , "well , can I get an application to be your friend?" - what the huh?? That was the first time I heard that one -, lol , so I laughed and said "No , because you don't want to just be my friend". He sighed, smiled , and I just turned back to face the other way. He went back to reading his book. Getting hit on infront of a bunch of strangers on a crowded train is freakin' embarrrassing! :oops:

    There are more , but I'm lazy to write , so I chose the wierd ones.

    Besides men from my race. . .For some reason I mostly attract White guys , then Black guys , and last the Mexican guys. ( Only the immigrant mexicans though.)

    White guys - Don't just come out and say that they like you. They flirt , are really sweet , but won't tell. Alot of them end up just friends that have a crush.

    Black guys - They will tell you as soon as they know that they like you. Everytime , it never fails , they will let you know.

    Mexican Immigrants - They tip toe for a little while , flirt and then spill the beans.

    That's why they invented Cialis.
  • One of my favorite responses to a late night "hey baby" guy following me down a block:

    "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers late at night? For all you know I could be up to no good. Perhaps I'm out in the street looking for an unsuspecting man to take home so I can rob him and kill him, and you just walked right up to me. That's not smart. You never know what people are up to. You should really be more careful about approaching women late at night."

    The look on his face was priceless. As he turned and started fast walking up the block I screamed out "Have a nice night..."
  • Holla Holla Holla Holla Holla Holla!!!!!!!!!!

  • Here's one from tonight from a lovely older gentleman (I'd say mid 60's) hanging out in front of a "private club", wearing a t-shirt saying, "Field niggas will never die". As I was walking my dogs past him he says, "You sure you can handle those 2 big dogs? I wouldn't mind taking their place, you know." It was actually pretty funny since he was only half serious. Strangely enough, not the 1st time I've had guys offer to be my dog in CH.

    Too bad I don't remember the ones I used to get when I was hot and skinny! Or maybe that's a good thing? :lol:
