Popcorn-Selling Slut

My most memorable catcall was while working my summer job at the movie theater in my hometown during my summer off from college. Its a nice, suburban town outside of Boston and its pretty safe.

I was walking to work wearing a long-sleeved white blouse and a black A-line skirt. It was short but not THAT short. These three guys were walking in the same direction on the opposite side of the street as me. I walked by the high school and decided to take a shortcut, so I split off in a different direction as the guys. As soon as I was on a different path but still in their eyeline and earshot they screamed out, "SHOW US YOUR UNDERWEAR! SHOW US YOUR UNDERWEAR! SHOW US YOUR UNDERWEAR!!" I think I felt anger and yet I was also laughing on the inside. I don't know why but it is one of those weird cat-calls that stuck in my head for over 10 yrs...

Then I went straight to work and told our boss Gregg about the incident. He actually got really angry and overprotective then asked me to describe the guys so he could find them in the center of town and kick their asses... which at least made me feel less annoyed.
