"Behind her the noise escalated..."

"Behind her the noise escalated..."

As she passed by a bunch of construction workers on lunch break.  If the applause and the whistling wasnt enought to put her over the edge, the day she had at work would. 

She got to work in the morning on time as usual, but her boss didnt show up for an hour so she couldnt get any work done.  Then she went out back to have a smoke by her car to find a pile of shattered glass and no car.  This had happened to her in the past, so she just called up the insurence people who had placed a GPS in her car.  They contacted the police and had her car back to her within the hour.  By that time it was time for her to eat lunch which she left in the car...  It was still there, well atleast half of it. What kind of car theif eats a lunch they found in the car while they steal it?

So back to real time. 

As she got closer to the workers you could see them nudging eachother and nodding in her direction.  It was juvinel but it happened 3 days out of 5.  Normally they kept to their games of whistling and jeering at her but today was worse.  One of them reached out with his muddy hand and slapped her in the butt.  She was wearing a blindingly white skirt, so the hand print stuck out like a sore thumb.  She turned around and stared him right in the eye.  He smiled at her and giggled like a girl with a crush.  Then she decked him right in the eye.  This stain would wash out when she got home but that black eye would give him endless crap from his buddies.
