How Headphones Change Crosswalks

Last weekend, walking down to the corner across from the beach - the corner I almost ALWAYS start my runs at - I came across this man. A fairly nice-looking, grey-haired, slightly chubby, man in what I'd assume is probably his 50's.

Smiling at me oh so politely, I smiled back, thinking nothing of it. Until he quietly rumbled, "Mmmm, yeaaaaaa" in a way that was... well... NOT so polite...

Slightly startled but not wanting to show it, I realized this man had assumed that me having headphones in, geared up for my run, meant I couldn't HEAR this man freely saying whatever he felt! So being the girl I am, I took it as flattery, and played along, continuing to look over at him every so often, smiling oohhhhhhh so politely, pretending as though he HADN'T just thought the things about me he was MOST LIKELY thinking.

And then the light changed...

And I walked ahead of him, getting my iPod ready for my run...

And I heard...

"Mmmm, beautiful ass. Just... beautiful. Thank you. Yeaaaa...."

So I turned around and gave him a great big old... WINK!

The color he turned? I'd describe it as PURPLE.

Oh, you're far more bold than I. I would be creeped out, but then again, England is full of weird pervs who would likely just whip it out.

I've disgusted myself now.

Should have asked him to turn around so you could check out his ass too - just to watch his head explode entirely

That is totally awesome. I wish I had the balls to do something like that, not that any man would ever make comments about MY ass. :o)

Damn. I'm uber-impressed with your ability to react with true hilarity in the moment -- I wouldn't have thought of it until later, then would have kicked myself for not having had my wits about me at the time. And, man, I wish my ass were comment-worthy. Because it so isn't.
