"Save The Children" street-corner harasser: "Excuse me, ma'am, if I could have—"
Me, not slowing down: "No."
Harasser, following me to the subway: "—just one minute of your—"
Me, still walking: "NO."
Harasser: "But the children are starving!"
Me: "I'M starving! If you don't let me get home and eat, you're buying me dinner, so shut the fuck up!"
This happens at least once a week as I'm leaving work. Get a job, hippy.
