"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."
