Porter Square's Jonelle posted on her Web site themockup.com the perfect subway retort to the untoward and forward:
Anyway, here's my new tactic: I look the harasser apologetically in the eye and say, "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't speak English." In English. Any further advances are met with, "I'm so sorry -- I can't understand you. I'm not familiar with the English language. Do you speak Swedish?" You see, it's all about making them believe you're too crazy to bother with. Harasser, vanquished.
