A third added: "This is iconic ngl."
Others disagreed, with another person commenting on the video: "All he said was have a good day at work…," with another writing: "He was being nice though."
But others quickly rushed to the comments to clapback, with one responding: "All the ppl saying he was just being nice. u think he was saying that to every man who passed by? men know what theyre doing, just leave us alone."

Another added: "Everyone read the room, he wouldn’t be saying that to an old man walking by. it’s cat calling cause he’s tryin to get the attention of a young lady."
Some said they would be 'too scared' to say something in a similar situation, with another woman admitting: "Yikes I’m too scared to ever talk back like that."
How would you feel in this situation?
