Reply #123: Well, 16th street is a main drag, in a lot of ways. Way too many people, for starters. [View All]

I lived on 20th & Folsom for a few years, then for a few years on 20th, between Capp & South Van Ness.

"Capp Street hookers" was a phrase known to everyone, including, suburban older men. So, there were a few occasions where I was wearing baggy jeans and a sweatshirt, walking my dog in the evening, when an SUV or a car would pull up and the male driver would wave at me, hopefully.
I got so tired of that. Sometimes, I gave a dirty look, or, "the finger", but mostly, I tried to block it out. How much IGNORING can a person do, and still stay happy? It gets to the point where, you want everyone around you to just go away! I blocked eveything out, to the point that friends would later say "why didn't you say hi to me?" The reason was that I blocked them out so I could ignore the harrassers.

Today, I would never go back to that annoying lifestyle.

I got harrassed by Hispanic men. I got harrassed by hopeful johns. EVERY F****** DAY I left the house!
