Catcalled

Aged 32

2023

I had just come out the shop, had my headphones in but nothing playing. I walked past two older men sat on the wall outside the shop. They must have assumed I couldn’t hear them as they both loudly commented on my body and saying revolting things they would like to do to me. I could still hear then as I crossed the road, making awful comments in the middle of the day. I hated that I can’t even walk down the street without having such a skin crawling thing happen. I haven’t been back to the shop since and go somewhere else now just in case they often sit outside there.
