I wish I had a good one to share. I always think of something good after the fact.

People talking to flashers is the worst thing you can do it's what they want it encourages them to do it more they don t care if you insult them it's the interaction they want they know you have seen and that feeds them possibly leading to worse sex crimes never engage ignore and run and call police
Incorrect - they want you to be intimidated, so running away gives them what they want. But, yes, definitely report!

Once in my twenties, a man of at least 55 flashed at me and my two friends. We chased after him and he was scared because we were closing in on him, he ran towards the beach and then towards the sea where we lobbed stones at us until he begged us to stop. If I should feel guilty about that, I don't really.

All these women being flashed 🤮 what is wrong with people? Sorry for anyone who has had to go through that.

I like "rude children" from page 1 :)

I've used 'No, really, after you!' when people have jumped a queue.

I also like 'You've got a grand face for radio.'

I can see it's probably best to ignore flashers, but I do remember an elderly neighbour seeing one in our back entry, and she said " Ee, I've seen better than that on a bloody corpse!"
Love it! I'm always reminded of a punchline to a joke, which is to look closely at the mac and go with "Do you call that a lining?" But the flashers I have glimpsed didn't have the mac, unfortunately.
