I've got flashing at me, BrE
je me trouve à l'opposé des voyeurs


Explanation:
> flashing at me in the UK connotes 'indecent exposure' = un attentat à la pudeur. So the source text - disastrously unidentified - must be non-British and American, Canadian or Aussie English.

disagree  Daryo: This fast food joint being under siege from a flash mob of flashers? Not very likely. Unless this manager is in some kind of X-rated business, THAT meaning of "flashing" wouldn't make any sense.
