You know how there are people who get turned on by hearing or saying "dirty" things? I think there are some people who get turned on by that only if it's non-consensual, if they've tricked the woman into saying "dick" or whatever. You know how little kids do that "you said x" thing? Like that, only worse.

I developed this theory after a particular obscene phone call a friend of mine got and she was trying to get her head around, and your guy would seem to fit the pattern.

It's funny, how can it do any harm, except that it does.

It's icky because it's a violation of the ordinary common space between strangers in which we ask and give directions. You'll have that in your mind the next time somebody slows down to ask the way to the library or their grandma's house, how could you not? And that poisons the interaction.
