That's what I thought, matching speed isn't something that happens by accident so it really does cross the line of forcing you to pay attention. I don't know why I still get shocked when women tell me how often they encounter that kind of crap.
Not taking no for an answer sounds even worse than creepy, crossing over to threatening. Does that happen a lot?

Hope you don't mind my asking you about this, but this thread has 99% been men talking to each other, and I think myself and my fellow males are pretty blind to the day-to-day of this.
