After an infuriating experience with the CVS self-checkout, I was going to unlock my bike when a man in a parked truck said, “Hey there, sexy.” Normally I ignore this kind of thing, but I was angry.

I turned back, looked him in the eye, and yelled, “If you are talking to me, then you can shut the f*ck up!” He was visibly taken aback. I walked away, still steaming but feeling more empowered than if I’d just ignored him.
