" \n We recently were sent a viral video that totally blew our mind. A bystander happened to film a pretty crazy situation going down on a New York City subway. It shows a woman telling off a pervy guy who was trying to rub his junk against her. What was so impressive about this chick was that she didn&amp;#039;t shy away from the creep. She called him out on his skeeviness, yelling, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re getting f*#king arrested. I&amp;#039;m not leaving your side. My plans are done for the night. I&amp;#039;m escorting you to the police station.&amp;quot;  Inspired by her ballsiness, we asked readers to share the brazen, creative ways they&amp;#039;ve gotten obnoxious guys \u2014 from pushy men who won&amp;#039;t take no for an answer to cat-calling fools \u2014 to leave them alone.  &amp;quot;Every morning on my way to work I walk by a construction site. The guys who work there always whistle and make annoying comments about what I&amp;#039;m wearing or how I look. For weeks, I tried to just ignore them. But one day I&amp;#039;d had enough. As I passed, they whistled and yelled &amp;#039;Hey, baby!&amp;#039; I turned to face them and started doing it right back, shouting things like, &amp;quot;Yeah macho man, show me your hot plumber&amp;#039;s crack!&amp;#039; They were so shocked that they just sat there in silence. Ever since, they&amp;#039;ve let me be.&amp;quot; \u2014Angelina, 26 &amp;quot;I went on a date with this guy once and instantly knew I wasn&amp;#039;t into him. I wanted to let him down easy, so I lied and said I&amp;#039;d recently met someone else who I really liked. But the guy wouldn&amp;#039;t leave me alone. He kept texting me and leaving me voice mails about getting together. At first I was nice, letting him know in a friendly way that it wasn&amp;#039;t gonna happen, but he wouldn&amp;#039;t relent. Next, I stopped responding completely\u2014and still, he continued to call me. At last, I had a guy friend leave my outgoing voicemail to make him think I had gotten a new phone number and a stranger had my old number. He tried a few more times before giving up for good.&amp;quot; \u2014Liz, 30 &amp;quot;I was walking through the mall when this gross dude looked at my boobs and started talking about how big and hot they were. It was so rude. I could have kept walking but I was really mad that he objectified me that way. So instead, I confronted him in front of a crowd of people. In a loud voice I asked him how he would respond if someone said that to his mother. Then I told him how it made me feel terrible and that he should have more respect for women. He was stunned and a few people who had stopped to see what was going on actually clapped after my little speech.&amp;quot; \u2014Nessie, 24 &amp;quot;The other night I was having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and the waiter was being overly flirty. We didn&amp;#039;t mind at first, but he took it too far. He kept interrupting our meal to hit on me and it got really distracting\u2014I was there to catch up with a friend, not talk to this schmuck! The next time he came over to try to convince me to go out with him, I grabbed my friend&amp;#039;s hand and told him I didn&amp;#039;t think my girlfriend would like that. She totally played along and for the rest of the night called me &amp;#039;honey&amp;#039; whenever he was within earshot.&amp;quot; \u2014Ann, 23 &amp;quot;When I was out with my girlfriends recently, there was this skeeve-ball that was pretty much stalking me all night. I would go to the bar for a drink, and he&amp;#039;d be right behind me. I&amp;#039;d return to my friends, and he&amp;#039;d stand like two feet away. I asked him to back-off multiple times but he wouldn&amp;#039;t listen. Finally I screamed, &amp;#039;Ew, put your penis away!&amp;#039; Everyone turned to look and the guy was so mortified that he ran out of the bar.&amp;quot; \u2014Jessica, 22 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
