I was on a train coming back from an evening shift at work and there were a group on boys on the seats opposite me. I had my earphones in but had my music quite low. I knew that they were talking about me and looking my way. I had flip flops on and i heard them noting about how ‘cute’ my feet were and one stated that he would like to suck my toes. They continued to talk about how i should add them on facebook and shouting their names at me. Towards the end of the journey one shouted out ‘i bet she could suck a golf ball through a hosepipe’. I continued to ignore them and made my way to get off the train. Although the train was not busy, i found it hulmiliating.
As i was waiting to get off, another male had overheard what was being said and tried to start a conversation with me about ‘boys being boys’ and that they think they can chat anyone one up. He then continued to talk to me about what i was doing and where i was going, almost completely contradicting what he had said.
The whole situation made me feel uncomfotable, the train was not busy and it was late at night. Not only this but when i got to the train station i needed to walk through a multi story car park to get to my car.
This is not the first time that i have recived this type of behaviour in public and its now the case where i am not suprised if there is a comment made about the way i look by a male. Every time it does happen i feel uncomfortable.
