"Have you ever wished you could go crazy and rid the world of all the problems you face when walking to the bus stop? In this totally unrealistic and made-up scenario, Things That Happen To A Girl Walking To A Bus Stop follows Girl, a person who is just trying to get to her destination but can't due to the annoying hurdles that block her path, A.K.A. disrespectful men.
​
Inspired by the many times women have been stopped and bothered while walking the streets in Austin, Texas, Girl goes through real-life situations; the outcome, however, is the sweet, sweet daydream that has come to life." ​
