We've heard countless stories of sexual harassment and sexual violence in the wake of the #MeToo movement, which have unnerved us.
People are applauding the way a woman shut down a Jiffy Lube employee who sent her an inappropriate text message. We quite like how she handled it.

"My sister got creeped on and sexually harassed by a jiffy lube guy via text from his personal phone and..." she wrote as she presented us with evidence of her sister's brilliant takedown.

It's quite well done.
"You're gorgeous," the guy writes, never expecting the response that followed:
@LovableandKind
Behold:

You have to admit: That's great thinking.

@LovableAndKind My favorite part is at the end, when she lets him know he’s not even good at his job.— MJ Beasi (@MJ Beasi) 1547679248.0
As expected, some trolls took the opportunity to claim the text message exchange was fake. @LovableandKind was prepared with a response:

Leave women alone.
Don't contact people with personal information you got from your job.
It won't end well.
