Ten Perfect Put Downs

Arm yourself with perfect responses to the worst chat up lines because you never think of them until it's too late

As women we’ve all been subjected to unwanted male attention at some point. We’ve suffered the whistles and leers of builders, been ‘phwoared at by white van men and braced ourselves against the ‘compliments’ of that drunk group of blokes on the last train home. We’ve smiled politely at the men old enough to be our dads who strike up conversation at the bus stop, and we’ve coughed into our Cosmopolitans when the guy in the bar leans over and says “did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” We know And why is it that we can only think of that perfect, witty put down hours later? Why at the time did you just glow red and glance quickly at the floor. Now we’re not saying we don’t like a little flirting now and again (we’re only female) but we’re calling time on leering, dated, cheesy chat-up lines.
