So what exactly is...

[SarahTancredi]

The incoherent nonsense men yell out car windows.

Another walk home from work with undecipheral words being yelled at me.

Granted I had headphones in not I'm.lretty sure it wasnt "silent love"
Or "get in the car"

Both if which I've had before.

Thought we could discuss the likely possibilities.

I guess it could have been foot ball related but they had each other fir that they surely didn't need me?

Smile love

Stupid autocorrect

Just general niceties. I find its best just to ignore.

I admit to having an inward laugh when their attempt to drive off having been so damn clever and original was thwarted by a red light...

Its unfortunate that I got so used to having abuse yelled from cars that I try to ignore anyone in cars. I have been told off by in-laws for ignoring them when they honked me.

They are mainly yelling “look at me, other men in the car! I can increase my status with you by intimidating a woman I’ve got no connection with, but is out in public and therefore fair game in my eyes”.

But they are also making sure that you know you aren’t safe unless constantly vigilant.

I think they're saying "I'm a twat".

Exactly Fairenuff 🤣🤣!

It's grunting like apes in the jungle trying to show their dominance and prowess amongst their own. They aren't necessarily signalling at you but amongst themselves. Definitely ignore.

I've had 'do you want to give me a blowjob?' (I declined) and 'how's your fanny?'. Could it have been either of those?

I'm pretty sure one if the words was OI.and was said more than once.

But yea it sounded more like chimps

Still, it's the lesser of 2 evils I suppose. It's more worrying to me when they deliberately speed up when I'm.crossing the road or slan on the breaks last minute at a red light and you have no idea if they ate going to stop.

From observation, they seldom if ever do it when alone in the vehicle, unless there are lots of other men like them (gammon usually) in the vicinity. So clearly about other men and not us. I do wonder how many positive responses they get from women and what they would do about it.

"Hey, sugar tits! Come here and give me a blow job"

"Yeah, ok then"

Admittedly I have always been tempted to do that. Just to see what would happen.

Although I'm not sure late at night with no one else around is probably the best time.

I’m irish live in Dublin. I’ve never had anything or observed any other woman being shouted at here.

I think irish men are too afraid of their mammies to do this!

I once had a car sales man, midway through trying to sell a car to a random couple yell at me when I jogged past. I went back and asked him to repeat it, then asked what “get them knees up hup two” actually meant, then asked if he’d practised this witticism and was waiting for an opportunity to use it, or was it ad libbed, then wondered aloud why he hadn’t tried it on my male friend who a few yards in front of me. .He was puce by the time I finished. Twas very satisfying.

Once a car approached me from behind and the occupants yelled about my sexy bum. As the car passed they realised they actually knew me, so they pulled over and apologised profusely. Which tells you everything about how these men objectify women who they don’t know but feel differently when it’s their friend/relative. It doesn’t occur to them that every woman is someone’s friend or relative!

Having worked with men that do this I have to tell you they are invariably arseholes and players. I know it's not pleasant but really they are doing a service to everyone by identifying themselves so openly as wankers.

When I was young a bloke curb crawled me late one night. He asked me if I'd like a good time. I smiled and said thanks, but I've already had one. He didn't seem to know how to react. It was very satisfying.

Along with other comments, I've had "do you want a length?" and simply "TITS!"

This is so normal. I'm far from being what society deems 'good looking' but I've been curb crawled, wolf whistled and yelled at by men in cars way too many times to count. I'm in my 50's now and a few months ago I was waiting on a corner for a friend when a van driver and his mate yelled 'How much you dirty whore'. From standing there feeling all happy and looking forward to a day out with my friend I immediately felt overcome with a mix of shame, fear, upset and then angry frustration. I stood there and cried.

F*cking impotent wankers

I find it very depressing that there are so many men who see women only as a collection of body parts, not actual people. They are the less powerful version of those men who legislate about women's bodies.

I did once have the delightful experience of seeing one of these fucking idiots pull onto my friend's driveway (having yelled 'nice tits' at my teenage daughter). Turns out they were there to give her a quote for her large extension. They didn't get the job.

They all think they are so original as well dont they.

That by our age we haven't heard it a million times before.

No I'm not gonna smile, twiddle my hair and take it as a compliment. Seriously. Get a grip.

how's your fanny

“All the better for you being no where near it, thanks” would have been my instinctive reply.
