morwenI think it must have been idiots night out today.
I had - one guy creep me out on the bus by sitting next to me when in fact I was the only person on the rather large bus.
Several people try to talk to me on my way to the club.
I thought once I'd be in there, I'd be safe - but no. I get two of them in the same night.
Then, after I leave, and am searching for a taxi, I get the odd comment and in particular someone who follows me.
Now, I'm well past the point where I take this as a compliment (which I guess is progress in itself). I find it fucking scary; perhaps more so because I have absolutely no idea how to deal with it other than running away.
Do t-shirts with 'GO AWAY I AM A LESBIAN' written on them actually work?

Wearing a big fuck off scary biker jacket has been known to work, esp if you have perfected your lesbian scowl. Sadly my biker jacket got nicked by some thieving git who burgled us 6 months ago. Must go find another soonest.
