I was just standing there, innocently waiting for the bus....dressed semi-professionally, minding my own business, when this guy--late 20's, white, dressed sort of shabbily with dreadlocks--walked by me, smiled and said hello. Being friendly as I am, I said hi back, presuming that was the end of our interaction.
I was wrong.
So, he walked a few more feet and turned around. He waited for a crowd of people to walk away and said to me, (not out of earshot of the crowd)
"So, do you bang or what?"
I looked at him with a bewildered look on my face thinking first, "Did he really just say that??!?!?!"
And I politely said, "Nope."
He gave me a double-take--like he was surprised--and said, "No banging?" And I returned his question with what I thought was the appropriate response--
A disgusted shake of my head.
Then I boarded my bus.
It got me thinking for awhile, "did he mean something non-pervy...because he just said it aloud while I was standing at a moderately crowded bus stop on University and Snelling." Well, a friend later quipped, "maybe he thought you were a carpenter....or a drummer."
Well, maybe, right?
