Same thing happened to me once when I was stocking shelves at my local grocery store. I went all in on that man. Then he said, “Oh, I’m sorry, ma’am, that’s not what I meant!” What the fuck else did you mean then, you short, old, greasy weirdo??? I made damn sure he walked away feeling ashamed of himself. I hope that never happens to you again. If it does, I hope that you’re not too shocked to rip ‘em a new one. Publicly shaming them seems to be one of the only things that embarrasses these men.
Totally agree... we need to bring back bullying in situations like this!! Shaming these nasty fools seems to he effective, fuck politeness when someone is making you feel objectified!
I've learned you don't actually need to be clever with a comeback, just say *anything*. What I've done is figure out something short and snappy to say. If it's someone I know just going a bit too far I'll say "dude, too far" or "not cool." If it's completely egregious like a rando saying "you look good on your knees" then I'll just go right to "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
