So, in quintessential Everyday Sexism style, I get cat called near enough daily by the blokes who work at the car showroom across from my office.
Doesn't matter the season, what I'm wearing or how I have my hair, if I'm walking to my car - they're calling. But never if I venture out there with a male colleague..... hmm.
Anyhoo, I received a letter today that was meant for them so I have to be a good citizen and take the letter over to the car garage. I want to use this opportunity to speak to the manager there to ask him to address my issue with his staff . My worry is that because they're all blokes over there they're gonna roll out the typical 'banter' and 'compliment' cards. Which it is isn't. Whistling, shouting "oi", "hello Darling" etc every single day is tiresome and unwelcome.
Any tips on witty retort or how to be better prepared to stand my ground? (I tend to seize up in situations like that .)
Thanks in advance ladies and gents.
