Flashers in the big city

The day began with a rush of excitement. She’d gotten all dolled up for the trip this morning, full makeup, great dress, and high, high heels. Tossing her long RED hair over her shoulder, gold highlights glinting in the sun, she’d set out to catch the Caltrain to San Francisco to spend the day in the city.

It was a perfect spring day: fluffy clouds scudding across blue skies; light wind gusts; throngs of people walking the sidewalks; street cars zipping by; fascinating buildings and storefronts. She’d dreamed about this adventure for so long. Now a reality! San Francisco was such a sophisticated city.

Now here she was. Her best friend was madly in love and wouldn’t come along on this trip – so she said “fuck it” and came alone. A friend of a friend lived in San Jose and let her stay there. San Jose was practically in San Francisco!

So here she was - on an exploratory visit to the city. She’d done a modeling class back home and had a portfolio with the requisite head shots. She was smart and young and beautiful. She’d figure out how to break into modeling.

In the afternoon she wearily caught Caltrain back to San Jose, glad to rest her tired feet. Once off the train, cursing her choice of footwear, she must have made a wrong turn while trying to backtrack the morning journey. She begins to think she is lost. Damn, damn, damn. She is getting a little worried.

Crossing through a park she hears someone yell, turns to see a man flash open his trench coat and expose his bare dick right at her. He is staring fixedly at her face, getting off on her terrified reaction. Flight. She screams and runs in the opposite direction. She is scared and alone and getting further lost. She begins to cry as she walks along the street.

But then up ahead she recognizes a landmark from this morning. Thankfully. She heads in that direction with a sigh of relief. She hears someone yell, turns to see a man flash open his trench coat and expose his bare dick right at her. Again. Second time in one day. He is staring fixedly at her face, anticipating a terrified reaction. But not this time. This time she turns on her heel and heads right for the perv screeching “You. Fucking. Cockbite.” So surprised by this response it takes him a moment to realize that she is getting way too close. He takes off running, his coat flapping in the wind.

Nice to visit a new blog and thank you for visiting mine! Looks like a photo of Lake Tahoe. Also, I see you are reading "My Life in France" which I am also reading and enjoying. My husband picked up her "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" for Christmas and I'm reading that as well. Not going to go through all the recipes but I've made one and am anxious to try more. It was incredibly delicious & very French tasting.

This was based on an actual event - (not me Otin -I live in rural Oregon, lots of raincoats but no flashers here since everyone knows everyone.)

This is one of those events I wish I actually witnessed - for the humorous side - the thought of turning the tables on some perv hits the funny bone (pun intended).

As always, I'm easily entertained.

Why does this reek of non-fiction? ;)
@Brian - lol!

I love how no one knows if this is based on true events or not.

This reminds me of a flasher we saw at Coit Tower in San Francisco. At first, I was the only one who saw him and, as a 14-year-old girl, I was very embarrassed, which is exactly what he wanted. Finally, my mother saw him and she pointed at him and laughed. He ran in shame.

Thanks for following my blog. I came back and re-read the post and some of the comments and saw this was a real experience. I have had this experience. It was in my early twenties or late teens. I was at the drive in w/ my then boyfriend, now husband. A young guy was hanging about near the the ladie's room and there were alot of little girls in their pjs coming and going, typical Sat night drive in stuff back in the day. He caught my eye and I looked down to see he was exposing himself through his fly with a hard on. I was so pissed. I went to find the Mgr of the concession and when we returned he was gone. I had a good description of him and they went hunting w/ lights but did not catch him. All I could think about were those little girls.
