I got flashed by an old school trench coat flasher

This guy gets on the train last night in a fur lined trench coat and no shirt. He stands for a while and I'm thinking "isn't it 100 degrees out there, what is this guy doin in a fur lined trench coo.... oh. No way. Thats too cliche. What the hell is this? Mad magazine circa 1988?"

Then he sits directly across from me and I look up. I don't know why.
I see his zipper is open but no show.
Then I look again. Oh sweet jesus What am I, asking for it? and there it is. penis. joy.
I have nothing against peni, but only when there is a mutual agreement. This was an eyeful of penis that I did not ask for nor care to see. I knee-jerk reacted by getting up and muttering something about "if your gunna flash you shouldn't have an ugly little cock" or something as I walked away.

And then I thought about permissions and public space and ...

I went back

and took his picture.

say cheese.

	totally send that shit to the police.... seriously...the pic will help. ian told me they are always looking to arrest these pervs because they usually do it to school age girls on the trains. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	he probably looooved the fact that you called his dick small. he wants to violate you. and be told he is bad. probably loooved that you took his picture too. masturbation fodder for weeks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

na I think he looks chicken shit and feeble here scared even? I turned the tables on him I revered the power play flashing is purely about making somone uncomfortable, doing something against their will. maybe pissing them off or exciting them or scaring them? but having a picture taken? I do not think that is what he is after flashing is anonymous, thats the joy in it. I hope I took that away from him. -A (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'd flash him my finger. :-D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	brooklyngirl 2005-08-05 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	the thing with the finger or yelling.. is I think they get off on being noticed. but like I wrote aboe to jen_lux... the picture takes away the anomity. theres almost no correct responce to this kinda thing... if you yell or cry or droll I think you give them what they want? -A (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Mad props! I've been groped on the subway by a creepy guy with a strategically placed coat over his arm... when I stood up and gave him a dirty look he got off the car at the next stop, like your guy did. I didn't say anything, but wished I had. I guess that's a standard for these meek, creepy dudes. You did the right thing, and I'm sorry you had to see weird penis. That's never fun. (Reply to this)
