[Scene: Waiting for light at 14th and U]

Old man sidles up to me: “Hey baby. It’s no coincidence the sun just came out. I mean it, you’re so beautiful. And that’s no line, sometimes a girl just needs to hear it…”

Me: “Yeah. Don’t you just hate when you forget your headphones and have to listen to every asshole corner you at the light and pretend like he’s not just another dude harassing you in the street?”
