I get the lip licking drive-by harassment practically every time I walk around in a downtown area. This is usually from white guys who are well-dressed. Otherwise, I get the head-to-toe looking me up and down harassment. I don’t consider any of this complimentary to me, it’s harassment meant to bully & embarrass me, but it ain’t working guys, I think you just look stupid.

I’ve tried to respond with an angry look but it happens so fast they’re gone before I can respond, which is a planned part of the harassment. It’s drive-by harassment. I’ve stopped wondering why it happens but would like to know what I can do to be positive about it without having to spend a lot of my energy & time on these jerks.
