Just walking home from my tube commute and mulling over what I should have done differently just now: two guys at London Bridge, one of whom was bothering a lady waiting on the other side of the double doors I was standing by. The classic "smile darling. Why not? Come on. Ah one day you'll smile"- not just harassment, but lazy, unimaginative, stupid (isn't it all?) harassment.
She just kept her eyes to the floor and made little shakes with her head, whilst I listened very closely- was just about to say something when he stopped. I gave him an absolute unflinching stare straight in his eyes when he looked at me, and was DARING him in my head to say something (pregnant, ready to rage at the slightest thing!) but then he walked off.
AIBU to regret not saying something? What should I have said? I spent too long thinking and not enough time not-letting-people-get-away-with-shit.
