I don't know why no one ever mentioned this in my hometown, but every year on Valentine's night, the single ladies would go out by themselves and did extremely aggressive things. I used to think it was normal but... nope. This didn't happen anywhere else in the world...
One such night I had to work late and my poor girlfriend was worried sick. It was time to go home and the security guard let me out. "Best of luck buddy" he said before he immediately closed and locked the door as I was leaving. I saw some high heels scattered around the ground and heard some shrieking in the distance. It was time.
I covered up and headed for home. The yelling and obscene sexual remarks these women threw at me had already started and continued the whole way home. That was always the first phase.
Then the physical stuff started. Many times I narrowly dodged hugging, groping, kissing, scrawling and flying shoes and fists.
Finally there was the begging. This was the hardest part as their feelings just poured out at this stage. I got many declarations of love, threats of suicide, proposals of marriage and desperate pleas to make a baby right there on the street.
When I got home safely my girlfriend held me quietly for several minutes, or however long it took for me to stop trembling. Then she took me to bed and took care of me, kissing me in the dark.
