too many to count. Honks, being followed by men/boys in cars (that could be quite scary). I was grabbed in the chest more than once - and once on the street someone grabbed somewhere else.
I was also sexually harassed at work for months by someone who made fun of me. He brought up sexual innuendo's every time he saw me --and then would make a joke (because I had complained): Oh, this is just too much for your ears.......you're just too innocent.
It was really terrible.

That dude was a total creeper. I am surprised he wasn't booted long before...
