I can't even step out of my own home without being harrassed and fucked with and insulted. I was just standing on the corner in the next block from my apt bldg waiting to cross the street to go get a paper and this Eminem wannabe looking fucker starts repeatedly screaming at me from his car "SIR! MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!" and I yell back "Stop calling me sir, I'm a woman!" and he just keeps yelling the same shit over and over. I was minding my business. All I was doing was waiting to cross the street!

Wow.  I never knew Oakland so resembled New York City.  Their learned ability to ignore people like that is legendary.

I wish I could have as easy a time getting New York deli food in Oakland....

What an asshole. What was his problem? God

I don't get it.

My wife was in New York City at one time, and observed a Street Person haranguing a woman at top volume, while she was tuning him out 100%, never acknowledging his existence with so much as a glance.  The kicker:  He was yelling dialogue from Star Trek movies.  “A criminal, Captain!  A product of late twentieth century genetic engineering!!”

New York is a State of Mind.

Seriously

Couldn't agree more.

Makes you wonder what in hell is wrong with people. Best to ignore that sort of crap.

Ignoring people like this is an art and hard to get a grasp on, but look at it this way. This idiot gave you an opportunity to practice your techniques for ignoring someone harassing you. I am VERY sorry you had to go through this at all, though.

I've had entirely too much of that sort of opportunity. Ever see Welcome to the Dollhouse?
