What is up what men?! Guys?! Like seriously... do you hear yourselves?! How in the world do you think this is flirting?! Now yes it is nice to be complimented but somethings are just out of control and inappropriate for mixed company. Do you want a date or a jail sentence?
Redditor u/Moon_Keegan wanted all the ladies out there to share all the wrong things about what guys have said to them by asking.... Girls of Reddit: What is the creepiest thing a man has said to you in public?
Nevermind.....
GiphyThis was a guy who had found my Facebook in about half a second (I have no idea how, people I want to give it to can't find it without my help): "so uh how does sex work for you? Does it hurt you? How do you do it?"
He'd found out I was disabled and decided this was an excellent and appropriate conversation piece. medicalmystery1395
Gross....
I worked at a truck stop and needed a driver to sign something, but didn't have a pen. He was a super gross old fat guy, missing quite a bit of teeth. He said that I could borrow his pen, but then I'd have to get in his truck with him. He was going to lock the doors and I wasn't allowed to get out. I recoiled in horror as he gave me the most disturbing smile. The thought of having sex with me and telling me about the fantasy truly made his day. brianaausberlin
Teeth.
"You have all your teeth. I like that."
I was waiting for the bus
Edit: thank you for the silver! I feel honored :). M_Minkoff
I love bad girls like you.
Oh no, when I was 13, a guy grabbed me by by the wrist and he said "Hey sexy, wanna come with me so I can show you something? I love bad girls like you." I was so stupid that I was still worried about being rude and apologized to him for saying no but when he tried to fully grab my arm I just ran. Evaura
but the insistence.....
Not so much what was said at first, but the insistence (and continuing to walk with me on my route for like 20 minutes) that I must save his email address. Words alone are creepy on occasion, but it's the absolute worst when there's an element of being trapped. libre_office_warlock
"ew"
GiphyI was in 6th grade and had three boys discuss my breasts in front of me like I wasn't there. The first boy said I stuffed my bra, the second one came up and explained to him how he could know that I didn't. The third joined in in the explanation of real vs fake like they were looking at a painting on a wall while I sat there flabbergasted at being noticed in that way.
I was 17 and cleaning a window at work(on one knee). Guy, in front of his ~8 yo son- "you like being on your knees?"
It happens a lot more the younger women are, creepy guys know that the older we are the less likely we are to stand for that shit. So if you're young- who gives a poop about being polite? Give them a curled lip, raised eyebrow and a well placed "ew" and watch their faces. jillyann1
Blow Off Sir!
Had an older man ask me to stir his mixed drink with my finger to make it sweeter. This was at a fancy-ish dinner party my family attended. I was 13, this guy was around 50. He went on to make a joke about me eating a sucker later on, something about "blowing pop". Still makes me nauseous after 20 years. bangcamaroxx
"You're gonna get spanking"
"You're gonna get spanking" in a sing song tone. I was working at a mom and pop burger joint and made a silly mistake. I was 19 at the time, the dude in question was 60/70. When I got embarrassed he acted proud of himself and stated "look how red she's turning!" Kitchens_Witchens_28
:(
Once I was threatened with physical violence because I didn't smile when a guy told me to and didn't go out of my way to be nice to him when he sat down next to me.
I was also called jailbait by a few customers when I was 15 working at a local sub shop, which my manager and coworkers thought was hilarious. :(
So many more anecdotes could come to mind if I sat longer and thought about it but those stick out. big_p33n
Unmatched....
GiphyI had rainbow colored hair as a teenager. One time at work a 60+ year old customer said to me, "Does the carpet match the drapes? Never mind, you probably don't have any down there." I've never been so uncomfortable. checkit21
When I was 10 years old.....
When I was walking to school alone and a man walked right up to me and said "excuse me, can I lick your privates?" he then laughed at me and walked away..... my dad had to pay some teenagers to walk with me to school after that. drivenlikesnow
8 Feet too Close...
I was in Paris at a Christmas market and a guy came up to me and told me I was very beautiful. Before I could say anything back, he said, "You know, I've been following you for awhile and saw your friends walk away from you. I could kidnap you so quick, they would never see you again." Then he laughs, and my friend, who was only like eight feet away and heard this exchange, pulls my arm and we start fast-walking away.
We cut down so many alleys, popped in and out of shops, and got on different trains since it was nearly impossible to know if he was still following us.
ETA: there were three of us and while we really have no idea if he had actually been following us for awhile, we assume he had been around long enough to know we spoke English, since he didn't approach me speaking French. batcalls
Skyrim.
I was once stalked by a man who worked in the store that was next to mine and he had told me that he made his Skyrim character to look like me. claycardinal
What's the matter? Can't stand the sight of a strong Nord woman? fluxpatron
How.... "hip?"
GiphyMan in club came up to me and said, "just thought I should let you know that you have great birthing hips." billywilly424242
"God you're so beautiful."
I got followed through Walmart and the guy kept passing by me and every time he would whisper "God you're so beautiful. I love you."
Edit: he followed me to check out, and circled the parking lot to see what car I got in. I flashed my gun while loading my groceries and then he left. I went a different way home and was so paranoid of being followed, but I wasn't. I was also 20 weeks pregnant. Scariest moment of my life.
"You can ride me!"
I was wearing my horseback riding clothes. He held the door for me and said "You can ride me!" when I kept walking into the store ignoring him he screamed after me "Hey You! I SAID YOU COULD RIDE ME!" This is why we can't have nice things people. mcwarles
"karate-kid crane kick"
I was in Walmart and some creepy guy came up to me and my sister and pointed at his junk in sweatpants (clearly not wearing underwear) and asked if we wanted to touch it.
Now I refuse to go to Walmart.
That's when you hit them with the karate-kid crane kick
Since this is getting attention, I want to mention the time my brother "karate-kid crane kick"ed me into a full length mirror and resulted in me getting a glass shard 1 inch deep into my back that was like a 1/4 of an inch away from my artery. glistening-Melon
I was 14....
I was 14, out shopping at an Aeropostale when these two dudes approached me. They had to be in their mid to late twenties. They followed me around the store and kept asking me to try on the mini skirt I had picked out, asked me where I lived, my name, and just generally kept following and harassing me. I was super freaked out, hoping that my mom and brother would come back to the store soon to get me out of there. PhannyPaqued
It's perfect!!!
GiphyA street market in Italy. A vendor came up and started trying to convince me to marry his son. My dad ran up and was like dude she's 11. The guy said "my sons only 26. It's perfect!" Whore-Money
Many high school graduates face the conundrum of what to major in when they go on to pursue higher education.
Teens who haven't already sparked an interest in a particular field by the time they graduate wind up buying more time waiting for enlightenment by electing "undecided."
But to avoid any stigma of being an idle scholar, some students settle on majors they thought never existed.
"Fun with pasta," anyone?
While such a major might not exist, I wouldn't put it past some academia for coming up with it.
Curious to hear what those unheard-of specialized fields of study are out there, Redditor GazelleHistorical705 asked:
"What is the most ridiculous college major you’ve ever heard of?"
Majors with one word, please.
Sounds Like A Hard Major
"PENIS. My school offered a major in Political Economy of Newly Industrialized Societies, but eventually realized the acronym and changed the name. Pity. I hope some were able to get their degrees with a concentration in PENIS."
– OhMaiMai
Hidden Objective
"Golf."
"It was made so the Vice Chancellor could buy a private golf course for the university, so he could play on it. I believe it had 5 enrollments ever, and one was a joke that didnt show up or pay. It got cancelled the first year, but he got to enjoy his own personal golf course for some years after."

Just Throwing Ideas
"Frisbee. A friends roommate at Amherst was in some kind of 'create your own major' thing and chose frisbee. His family had momey and college was just a formality."
– hightower65
Certain concepts as a major were hard to grasp.
Seed Of Despotism
"IIRC, like 20 years ago some college in Indiana offered a major in World Domination."
– Rev_Christopheles
"You can only get a job as a henchman with a BS."
"You need a full PhD to be an evil mastermind."
– JimBean823
A Vague Focus
"PhD in general studies."
– dravik
"Tf do you even write your dissertation about."
– Fragile_Line
"Everything."
– ProsciuttoPizza
"Generally."

Let's Take It Outside
"An old friend has a Bachelor's degree in Outdoor Activities. He was never able to explain exactly what that meant, though."
– EnlargedBit371
"A guy I know majored in Recreation."
– kmsc87
"When I was there, my college had one of the top Parks Recreation and Tourism Management (PRTM) programs in the country."
"It had the nickname 'Party Right Through May.'”
"It was extremely popular with student athletes, especially football players."
"There’s always a demand for graduates too. It seems like one of those fields where you shouldn’t need a college degree to do the work, but you need one to get in the door."
– JimBeam823
Going At Your Own Pace
"When I was in uni my friend dated a guy who was majoring in leisure studies. I used to joke that leisure studies is a 4 year program, but if you’re good enough at it you can do it in 6."
– Mtldoggogogo
Things went up a notch.
Arghhh Ya Kiddin' Me?
"At MIT you can be certified in being a pirate if you complete the courses of pistol, archery, sailing, and fencing."
– yhdreytaweatrst
"It’s not a major, it’s a certificate. But if I ever get my own office it’s going in a very nice diploma frame and I’m gonna see who notices."
– PoorCorrelation
Veritable Hodgepodge
"My university had an Interdisciplinary Studies department that served mainly to get super duper seniors graduated. They would cobble together the random credits people got because they changed majors every semester into a 'degree.' You get some wild majors like a BA in Culinary Traditions and Music in the Former British Empire."
– pinelands1901
Sapphic Education
"My college briefly had a major in Nordic Lesbianism."
– WhizzleTeabags
"I've read many of the responses on here where most of them weren't ridiculous imo but you gave the best one!"
– 90DayTroll
"HUH."
– OP
Make It Up
"At a graduation at the University of Redlands. They have a degree whereby you basically take the classes you want and call it what you want."
"The degree conferred was, I kid you not: 'Still trying to figure out who I am.'”
– dmur726
Clearly there's a major for all occasions.
But at the end of the day, does it really matter as long as you have a BA in something to show you were academically tenacious?
Now go out there and carve out your own path, young scholars!
Just make sure you can pay off those student loans.
Maybe there should be a major on how to avoid debt.
