So we live really close to a high school, and at this time of day the area is crawling with teenagers. I was out on a walk just now and I stopped at a corner to cross, and I see this big obnoxious truck blasting some horrible music. Not sure what it was but I heard lyrics about "licking your booty"
As I'm waiting at the corner to cross in front of the truck, the two teenage guys inside shout at me: "Nice camel toe!" I froze and tried to pretend I didn't hear them and just ignored. While trying to ignore them I also missed the light to cross, so they start laughing at me and shouting: "You're retarded! OMG she's retarded! She totally missed the light."
So then I didn't want to walk in front of them because I thought they might do something dumb like rev the engine to try to scare me, so I just waited through another light, which really got them laughing. Finally their light changed and they drove off.
All of this after walking past a toddler and twins at FH park. I guess someday I will look back at this and laugh, but right now I'm kind of shaken up. And for the record I checked when I got home and I do not have camel toe, but there is a seam in the middle of these pants that makes it look like I do.
Re: OMG traumatic walk (horrid teenagers involved)
Ugh I have little patience for snotty little teenagers and that combined with my short fuse lately would not have made for a pleasant encounter. Sorry you had to deal with that. Punks.
That just sucks. I'm sorry.
Can you give a description of the truck and passengers? If so, it's worth a call to to principal to report their behavior. Most principals will at least do something if they can identify the culprit.
I TOTALLY agree. I'm not going to say I was a saint, I'm sure I was a little brat, but I was afraid of adults. Well maybe not afraid per se but I definitely didn't want to piss them off.
I'm so sorry! It's one of those losing situations. I would have been tempted to mouth off to them, but that probably would have made things worse. It sounds like you did the best thing possible. Glad you made it home safe and sound!
That's what I thought! It was so disrespectful and just kind of cruel the way they were laughing. As I walked on I just thought, wow your mothers would be horrified that you were talking to me like that.
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! How awful!
Ugh, teenagers drive me insane - I have absolutely no idea how I put up working with them all damn day lol
Good idea, I wish I could. I just remember a white truck, don't even know what make/model. I even thought as I approached, based on the music, how loud it was, etc., that they were probably going to be obnoxious, and I was right.

They might be @sshole teens with crappy parents who didn't teach them right from wrong. But, there is also a high chance that they could be from decent families who would be horrified by their behavior. I deal with that regularly, only middle school, not high school. High school is worse.
I am so sorry that you had to deal with that. There is no excuse for the boorishness. I would have probably said something back. Seriously!! It makes me furious for you!!
OMG, that is terrible!!! And I cannot believe they said you had camel toe! I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I really hope that when I have teenagers someday, I will have taught them how to be more respectful to people.

What in the heck is wrong with those delinquents? Who thinks that it is ok to speak to anyone like that?
I'm so sorry that you had a crummy walk. I hope that a flock of birds *** on that truck...specifically into the mouths of the people in it.
That is just WRONG! What the heck is wrong with these people?!
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Those little punks deserved to be slapped! Maybe karma got them back and they got pulled over by the cops just a few blocks away for speeding or something. One can hope right?

Thanks for sharing my outrage girls, it really got my blood pressure up, KWIM? I also feel dumb for not doing anything, I was just so stunned with humiliation that I froze, now I wish I had gotten the plates, given them the finger, something.
I texted DH about it and he replied: "Jerks. They were lucky I wasn't there." and then later "I like your camel toe ;-)" Oh, DH
lol Men!
