Overheard in Belfast

I was walking from Cornmarket to Royal Avenue yesterday when the man walking beside me said
'Can I feel your fanny?'
I ignored this less than gentle man and continued to walk until we both reached the kerb, where we had to stop and wait for a bus to past. This is when he begins to shout:
'DIDN'T YOU FUCKING HEAR ME???'
At which point I turned around to look at him. The man wasn't talking to me, or any of the other ladies around him. He was shouting at some small furry animal he had stowed in a pet carrier case.

I was so stunned I stood at the kerb after he crossed the road, and watched as he disappeared down an alleyway, occasionally still lifting the animal case to his face before shouting at it.
