• Catcall

  I have lived in NY all my life outside of college and our past year of travel… and I have seen most of the things that most NYers see day to day, have seen a man poop on the sidewalk, seen the subway totally flood after five minutes of hard rainfall , mariachi bands in subway cars and have even spotted Cosmo Kramer trying to buy a hat at Barneys…. but this morning I got to experience something I never thought would ever happend to me.. I got catcalled… by a dude…

  I was walking to work like I do every morning.. but this particular morning..around 8:15am… going eastbound on 49th right before Madison Ave…. a man.. a large bald chubby man… leaned out of his passenger side window and called out “Excuse me sir!”… I had my earbuds in so didn’t hear it too clear.. than he said it again.. and I looked back.. and around to make sure it was me.. and since I was the only person on the block..I figure it was me… ” nice butt”… I heard… “nice bag”.. since I carry my work bag behind me… OK I figure… then he repeats “nice butt…tight butt”… I make a strange face.. I must have not heard this right… then he motions with his hands… a cupping motion and swivels his hands side to side.. and once more “tight butt”… all the while leaning out of his old Honda with his friend driving.. now I wish this was just some kids daring each other or some other prank… but since I had been staring back at this car for fifteen seconds now.. there were no other people in the car.. and the driver was just looking straight ahead… and the guy himself had an expression on his face that I can honestly say I have never seen before.. but he was not laughing… so I made yet another confused face…and just walked away… gotta say when I got to work today.. felt a little weird…. but I will also admit.. when I left the bathroom for the first time this morning… I did check out my rear end….tight? no.. triangular..yes
