Now I'm just picturing a big guy stomping towards a girl whistling a creepy nursery rhyme increasingly loud. 🀣

Yeah, my partner said whistling is one of the creepiest things men do when behind women, even if it's a relatively innocent song rather than the Jaws theme or something.

I usually find it best to stop, look at my phone to increase distance, just slow right down in general. In most cases though, the best thing I find is just simply crossing to the other side of the road, especially as jaywalking isn't illegal where I'm from.

One time I crossed the street to make it absolutely clear I wasn’t following this woman. About 10 seconds later she crossed the street, then looked back and saw me, got startled like a cartoon cat, and sprinted off.

Sometimes things just don’t work out.

I call someone like my mom and chat. Makes mom happy, and I think sounds pretty safe.
