[quote=Anonymous]btw OP, i think it easy for these anonymous pps to see your story in hindsight and say "well I would've punched him in the face." i know what it's like as it's going on... you kind of freeze because it's so odd and unexpected.

i'm not a shy person and i'm extremely assertive and am not afraid to be mean to rude people or to speak up for myself. still, there was one time when i was at a crowded bar where a creepy older man literally grabbed my butt as he squeezed by in the crowd. what did i do? i pulled his wrist off of me and kept going. i didn't call him out, i didn't punch him in the face, i didn't curse at him... all these things that i would normally picture myself doing. it was so out of the blue and unexpected and weird that i just reacted while my mind went "what in the world is happening?" and by the time i processed how pissed off i was about it, it was too late - i don't know where he was, and i was doing something else.

anyway, i don't blame you, but i think there are things we can do to anticipate these kinds of encounters and have a prepared response that becomes second nature. kind of like when they teach you to yell "FIRE" if you are being attacked/assaulted instead of "help" because more people will respond to "fire."[/quote]
