Being of a mildy eccentric appearance - bald with large beard - I am, when on foot, boringly frequently the target of young men shouting "santa", "zz top", "gandalf" and other equally original things - sometimes just "waaaagh" or "oi" - from cars.

Depending on my mood, I wave and smile, or stick either one or two fingers up - it doesn't actually bother me a jot.

BUT - what is it that makes young men want to shout out of cars at people (often drawing attention to their pissed-ness, stupidity, or overloaded or merely crap car)?

No, what with the beard and no hair, I think that would make things worse

Sorry Lois I wont do it again

Actually when I was a wee lad of 17 and rear seat passenger in a clapped out escort the front passenger shouted something to a lady walking in the same direction, the driver stopped and waited for the lady to reach the car and made the guy apologize, was so funny, made him feel about an inch tall.

White van men are the worse when there's a cab full of young lads in it. I don't find a cab full of learing chavs attractive with their sexual gestures.

I never said I found it attractive. It's not harming anyone, please tell me you're not part of this 'new woman' brigade who can't take a compliment without taking offence and claiming sexual harassment.

I presume you've never been on a night out with the girls, and have done your own share of leering, and girly giggle shouts at chaps??

It's not that I take offence (most of the time!) It's just embarasing!!

I've got a better beard than that! (And I'm a lot younger - cheek!)

I have no "naval" inclinations either!

A long time ago, in a parallel universe, I knew a Scots lad who used to lean out of the car shouting 'Get your p*** flaps out Doris' in a very loud drunken Glaswegian accent. Now I live in the present, in this universe, I no longer associate with such folk, the odd PH'er excepted.

I used to shout out of cars all the time when I was a lad. My favourite one was telling people waiting at bus stops that they had missed the bus

Wouldn't life be very boring if blokes felt they couldn't express appreciation at a nice pair of legs/tits.

Mind you, there is something strange about shouting at a bald, bearded bloke.
