Pheeweet!! Then, what?
You walk along. You are alone. You pass by a group of testosterone-filled men. And you hear this- "PHEEEeeweeetttt….hi…ehemm.." and so many other stuff. So what do you do? This is a common situation in our society. Most of the ‘victims’ are female. Believe me, it doesn’t matter if you are drop dead gorgeous or not, just by being female you get their attention. I am not sure though if men get to experience this..hmm, or maybe they do (for those who are gay?). Well, that’s another story.
So, back to my question- What do you do?
I will give you some true stories here…
Case #1 - The crowd goes…"pheeweet..bla bla bla…"(i trust in your imagination). The girl passing by gives an emotionless, lifeless-as-if-nothing-happened face and walked away looking at other places but the ‘cheering’ crowd. Isn’t that normal?
Case #2 - The crowd goes.."pphhee…".The girl passing by gets annoyed. She frowns as she walks as fast as she can. haha..that’s the escape style.
Case #3 - The crowd goes.."pphhhee.." The girl passing gets really annoyed. This time, she decides to strike..she stops walking and looks back at the ‘cheerleaders’ (hey, that’s a new term). There-she gives a blank stare that states who-do-you-think-you-are-you-bunch-of-losers. (please be reminded this is a true story). The ‘cheerleaders’ stop their act and look at her (she’s gorgeous for your info) and finally are too ashamed to say anything. They eventually quit ‘cheerleading’.
So, these are some of the stories that I know of. Some I have experienced myself. Once I was involved in a Christian street concert and we were assigned to hand out tracks to the people on the streets. My partner and I (both girls, but my partner was bigger in height and size) did our job. Then came the ‘cheerleaders’ and this time they were a bit drunk. They started doing the ‘cheers’ on us..I was trying to move away from them when my partner grabbed me and we walked toward them. My partner said, "Nah, ambil..ambil la…nanti datang ah, tengok concert"..I just smiled. They, however accepted the tracks and turned up at the concert!!! That was weird!
Talking about weirdness, today I came across a new bunch of ‘cheerleaders’. I returned to my former working place for some official stuff today and visited the lab. As the place has always been under construction, there are many construction workers there. While I was still working there, they made some ‘cheers’ for me everytime I passed by. But the funny thing today…it was an unusual one. They cheered at 1st and then it was like a whole conversation…about me. It went something like this.."HI amoi..lama tak nampak, lama tak turun kerja oh…" They spoke among themselves as if they know me…I was like,"HUhh??Kamu tahu saya ka??" and gave a friendly smile. As I walked further on the way to my car, they said, "Oh..pergi mana amoi…kenapa tidak mau senyum…senyum la…"said person A. "Dia tidak mahu senyum oh…" said person B. They observed my every move. I felt so ashamed of not knowing what to do..but eventually, I gave a reluctant smile. Haaiiiyaaa..they can really put you in that awkward situation!! Guess what they said after that??
" HAaa…DIA SENYUM.."

I think you shouldnt give them attention at all. Just ignore and walk away. A research was conducted to ‘men’ who are being harrased by a group of ‘women’. And findings said the men were all very uncomfortable as well. So next time if you face it again, just ignore, never look back/at them, never respond (coz if you do, they achieve their goals) and just march off like they are invisible
