I am a terrible person
I went out for a walk to pick up some uggie fast food for dinner. On the way back, this guy standing at a bus stop says to me (and I quote):
The back lanes only a few steps away, sexy

While he grabs. My. Ass.

I said:
Fuck you and keep your hands to yourself, asshole.

I then resumed walking home.

He calls out some things that are not appropriate for posting on the internets, including the assertion that I need a good, lets say, lay, whether I like it or not.

I turn. I walk up to him. And I upend my whole super-large coke on his head.

I walk home.

I am a mean, awful person.

But it felt good.

And, like Christian Slater, he's guilty of sexual assault
I think I'd be a little more forgiving of a drunken Christian Slater, myself. ;)

81. well, he didn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box
just from your description -- I'm glad you are okay.

Many years ago when I was in school, I rode the bus to and from work every day. I got hit on a lot, but mostly it was sweet (once, a guy handed me a note that said, "I'm deaf and single. Do you want my address?"

Fortunately, no one ever touched me. That guy deserved the coke on his head (and more) "just" for grabbing your ass.

a coke AND super-sized fries would have made you a terrible person.

Good for you, but please be careful, there are some real nasty people out there.

19. No.
Now telling him you want to see what he has to offer, waiting for him to unzip his pants and then dumping an icy Coke down them would be awful.
Wait a minute-the time I did that at the State Fair it was fukkin' hilarious!

30. A big corn-fed dirty looking good old boy.
He grabbed my boobs while I was waiting in line for the Ferris Wheel and asked me if I wanted to step out and ride him instead. I said sure but I wanted to see what he could bring to the party first. He unzipped and leaned over to show me. I grabbed the front of his boxers like I was going to do something and dumped my drink down the front instead. Then I yelled about him pissing his pants in the line. That was really funny and I was already drunk so it seemed even funnier.

I once threw a cup of hot coffee at a man for flashing a wad of money at me and asking "how much?" so I know how great you must feel right now.

That guy was obviously unbalanced. You easily could have been assaulted or stalked after dousing him. Don't wait for a next time: call the cops and file assault charges. If he's doing this in public, what will he do when he's in a parking garage or elevator?

83. oh, no...
It's too time-consuming during the week...

Tonight I have a date with my treadmill, and Hour 6 of "The Kingdom II".

I was supposed to do this last night, but instead of a nice workout and a relax, I had an unexpected visit from my hysterical mother, who drove 90 minutes specifically to drop in and throw a hissy for 2+ hours.

77. If he grabbed your ass ANYTHING you did is fine by me.
ANY man that grabs a woman her without permission deserves whatever he gets, end of story. He's damn lucky you didn't remove his boy parts with a weed eater and a plastic spoon.
-----

I actually got started as a bartender years ago because I almost beat the crap out of a customer when I was cocktail waitressing one night. I had a tray full of drinks and some yahoo reached up and grabbed a handful of my left boob. I let out a scream and dumped the entire tray on his head.

They moved me to bar tending and told me they thought the patrons might be safer with me behind a bar. I think they were probably right, because by the time they got out there to stop me I was backing off and dropping into a combat stance so I could kick the shit out of him if he stood up.

:evilgrin:

You did good, kiddo! It's nice to know the younger generation is holding up the traditions begun so long ago!

too bad about the wasted soda but it was worth it

:applause: :applause: :beer::toast:




Things haven't changed much in 30 years since something like that happened to me... I was in Brooklyn, walking home from the subway, when outta no where this guy grabs my ass - without even thinking I rammed my elbow back into his solar plexus. All I heard as I kept on walking was a gasp accompanied by a yelp.

80. I'm going to say it again: He will do this again if he's not arrested.
Like I said upthread, great story. Now call the cops. He's now very pissed off and loopy. Someone is going to end up alone in an enclosed space with this freak, and he'll take it up a notch. Report it. Now.

did he just stand there while you dumped the coke on him?
He said nothing and did nothing?
Are you sure he didn't follow you home? I concur with
the others that you should immediately call the police.

115. I think you are the only person
:P

It's actually better to stand up for yourself and assert that you are not an easy target, and draw attention to the situation, than it is to just try to ignore it (if the person is really dangerous).
People around you will take notice, so you're harder to isolate, and the assaulter will generally think twice about trying again since he now knows you aren't an easy mark.

137. I'm not trying to ignite a flame war here
But I used to work as a newspaper police reporter and it's not uncommon for men to physically assault women when they feel they've been rebuffed.

We're not talking about a guy who smiles at you on the street or just tries to pick you up. This is a guy who has already shown he is unable to physically restrain himself (regardless of what the "studies" say).

I wrote a story once where a man grabbed a woman's ass in a San Bernardino nightclub and she threw a drink in his face and then slapped him. He knocked her out and slashed her face. She survived and he got arrested. She will never look the same.

Another time, when I worked in Phoenix, I wrote a story about a 15 year old girl who was sitting in the passenger seat of a car at a traffic light. Four men pulled up next to her. The driver started saying things. She rolled her eyes and looked away. He shot and killed her. They were never caught.

139. Also not trying to fan any flames, but
I come from a totally different culture. While thats not to say that it 'never' happens, the instances are so rare that I've heard of maybe one. In every situation I've ever been in where I've had unwanted attention of this sort, I've done SOMETHING about it. Now, it doesn't tend to happen on the street often, at least to me. With this guy, what he said was so vulgar and offensive I just kind of went off. But in every other situation, the person has been forcing attention on me, and I got loud and violent (elbowing, kicking, etc) so that people saw what was going on. The guys always backed off. Same with my friends. I think a lot of it has to do with the society I live in.

Also, to be fair, the studies I'm referring to are generally about situations a lot more dangerous than the one I was describing, or than the ones you are. And by dangerous I mean the people were being attacked physically and felt very unsafe. In those situations, drawing attention and fighting back is always a better option IMO, because one way or another the person is being violent and very abusive, and it's better to try and escape and get help than pacify them.

168. maybe gmoney never faced harassment
and it's entirely possible he or she has no clue how it feels when someone physically more powerful than you steps over the bounds. You wonder: are these crude comments going to escalate into further verbal abuse? Is he drunk/cranking beyond any semblance of reason? How far will this go?

Add unwanted physical contact to the mix and all bets are off.

You have to be vicious in order to summon the strength to be assertive or these pukes will run all over you. (And if you let them run all over you you are "naive" or "enabling" or "drawn to danger." If you fight back, they tell you you should have been "submissive." Goldurn what's a gal to do?:wtf:)

Thankfully 99% of men are not that way (at least where I live - can't speak for anywhere else) but when a woman encounters one she damned well better be ready to defend herself.

GIC :headbang: did the absolute right thing under the circumstances. Shame you had to waste the caffeine on such a loser, Girl, but I'm glad you put the buttmonkey in his place.

Shekels and dinars from 1 AD aren't worth shit in this economy. I TRIED to explain it to him, but he was all "I'm the son of god, bitch, don't lecture ME about your impure money"

146. Yes, It's Terrible You Didn't Kick Him In The Nuts
A sentiment I'm sure I'm not the first to post.

I've walked along South Osborne at night, and I never had any problem. Although I am a large-built male who has a black-belt in Karate.;)

154. It was so bizarre, it was like, between 5 and 6pm

But, we've been getting a lot more trash in the neighbourhood lately. I used to live on Wellington Cres. and I'd get jerks... My sister had someone follow her home, etc. Doesn't really matter what area of the city.

156. Yikes. Looks like Winnipeg needs better public safety.
It's the exact opposite here in Fargo. The population is growing at a staggering rate, and as a result, a lot more police officers are being hired. But the problem is that there are too many officers in relationship with the amount of crime in the city. The crime in the city hasn't risen in proportion with the growing populace. So what happens is that the cops start acting like fascists, because they don't have as much crime to fight compared to other cities of similar size. I had to deal with one of those cops a couple years ago. It's why the FPD is known as the Fascist Police Department around here.

And the idiots in the suburbs STILL cry about wanting to give more of their tax dollars to the police department.:eyes:

155. You're not a mean, awful person.
It sounds like he was essentially threatening you with rape. If I'd have been in that situation, I'd have probably crapped my pants and run home in a panic. I admire you for being alot braver than I would be.

The guy had it coming, and I'm glad you were brave enough to give it to him. I just hope he's not out there doing more than just talking.

158. You go girl!
I'm glad it was a super size...:)

I once had a middle age man press right up against me (from behind) while we were part of a crowd watching a game at a festival - keep in mind that I was probably 12 years old at the time. I kept moving forward, away from him, because I felt uncomfortable but he kept moving forward up against me as well. I didn't know what to do - I was a young, naive little girl and didn't realize that something like that could happen. I eventually walked away from the game I was watching to permanently get away from him (which did work).

I often think about that situation and wish I had had the smarts to yell "get the fuck away from me you pervert" and getting the police but girls are raised to be polite and friendly and that can really come back to haunt us at times like that.

You're my hero! :yourock:

163. Thanks
It sucks that things like that happen (especially to young girls), but it could have been a lot worse - we've all heard the stories.

If something like that would have happened to me today, I think I would seriously hurt the man. I have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior. So, I applaud you and your super size soda! :)
