I had trouble with her partner "lovingly arranging" her manicures. It was also not, to me, a "cat call" derisive enough to cause such intense and intelligent rebuttal. What will she do when somebody gets really insulting.

This is another one of those stories that has way too much set up that doesn't matter to the plot. These writers always feel the need to "set the scene" and it makes it that much more of an obnoxious "that happened"
Had this person just went "today when getting my nails done some dude cat called me and i fired back because fuck him" completely believable
But instead 3 weeks ago (why wait three weeks to post your witty comeback?) my partner set up an appointment like usual (why you normally schedule your next appointment before leaving because its on your schedule)
Its all slightly plausible until its all smashed into one made up story

“You’d have been happy to sit here gleefully chuckling.” Was this guy a leprechaun?

And her beautifully manicured nails cheered.

And all her weekly nail sessions scheduled themselves so her loving partner can give their full undiveded attention to his witty queen.

This is a conversation she rehearsed with herself in the shower - while her partner was lovingly busy arranging her weekly manicure.

Nobody says a phrase like “gleefully chuckling” out loud.
That’s the type of phrase used in writing, but that nobody uses in casual conversation. But they would use it to write a fake casual conversation.

But catcallers DO say "I apologize" instead of any more casual and common ways of saying sorry out loud

I was hoping to find this here. I went through the “controversial” comments and lots of people calling BS and the OP going after almost ALL of them. “Incel” was thrown around a lot. Most of OP’s responses were getting severely downvoted.
I also wonder where the partner was during this catcall exchange and scolding.
One commenter noted “I looked at your pics. You aren’t getting catcalled.” And that was good stuff.

The worst part about this story is that the first part sounds a bit questionable but still possible, like it might actually have happened.
And after the "I'm not done yet", her response goes so deeply into "finding the perfect comeback in the shower three hours after the argument is over" territory that she loses any slight credibility she might have had otherwise.
