    I agree wholeheartedly with the general consensus so far. I think your response was just right. The restrained but witty comeback is even more cutting than an emotional response--gets your point across without letting the jerk know how much he pissed you off.

    I hate it when guys just assume you want/need their help, without knowing you or even asking. And that "babe" crap, when he doesn't even know you--jeez, I've got steam coming out of my ears and I wasn't even there! You did great!

    Condescending jerks.
    Slime was just trying to cop a feel. Why do they not understand the whole "time and place for everything" concept?

    That is so great! I really hope I'm not offending anyone here, but the men who ride those Trek Discovery Channel bikes are such tools! I know one or two guys that ride them and they sound exactly like the guy you described...condescending wannabes.

    You said the best thing possible, I think it's hysterical...good for you!
    It's only worth it if you're having fun
