Getty ImagesThis story will be the most magical tale of female empowerment ever, and we can't think of a better way to happily send you off before your commute home.
Chicago resident Olivia Cole, 27, was part of an incredible event on the train this morning, and she took to Twitter to tell her story.
It started with a guy who would not stop hitting on a woman sitting on the train. Obviously, your morning commute is the last place you want to be courted, especially if the person courting you is obnoxious, creepy and straight-up aggressively harassing you.
We'll let Olivia describe what happened next. Basically, the best way to shut down an unwelcome person rudely hitting on you was discovered.
So that was happening. This dude was aggressively hitting on this woman, who was about my age. She was ignoring him. Everyone else was too.

? Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 6, 2015She finally says, loudly, "NO, I don't want your number!" And what happened next was amazing.

? Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 6, 2015And together they sang, really loudly (and off key) "NO, I DON'T WANT NONE OF YOUR TIIIIIME"
? Olivia A. Cole (@RantingOwl) February 6, 2015The dude trying to get the first woman's number just stared at them, and the woman he was harassing was just LAUGHING. He was done.

The only ending better than this one is if the entire train just burst into the TLC classic from start to finish. That would have been badass, but this is equally amazing. Way to go, commuters!
Men: do you understand that women are not required to give you their numbers just because you ask them for it? They're not even required to acknowledge your catcalls or lewd comments, no matter how persistent you are. Basically:
WE. DON'T. WANT. NO. SCRUBS.
Now press play and enjoy your weekends, everyone!
