Telling Off Construction Workers

In Stories | on 01.30.09 | by | Comments ( 1 )

I told a group of construction workers that I used to walk by every day on my way to school that I’m not their dog to whistle at, and I angrily stared at one of them in the eyes to let them know I was serious. When I did that, they were shocked; I guess they had never gotten that kind of response before.

Good for you! I used to walk by a group of construction workers every day on my way to my job and they whistled and hooted and I never stood up to them and I was scared every single day. Knowing you had the courage, gives me hope in the world!
