Just been very rude to some men on the train and now I’m both embarrassed and slightly scared

In fairness, they were rude first. But I am possibly the least confrontational person in the world (with strangers, at least) and I’m not sure what came over me. Bunch of laddy blokes, early 20s and clearly fairly well-oiled, being generally loud and obnoxious. Leering and commenting at some teenage girls who initially tried to ignore them then sensibly moved carriages. Everyone else ignoring them. I eventually got sick of it and went to move carriages as well but that involved walking past them. As I did so one of them said something along the lines of he’d happily fuck me even though I’m fat Hmm and others all laughed. Normally I’d just ignore but for some reason I turned round, intending to channel Mumsnet with ‘did you mean to be so rude?’ But what actually came out was ‘is there any particular reason why you’re being so rude today or are you always just a bunch of total cunts?’ Blush

Audible gasp from someone else in carriage, followed by rather ominous silence so I scurried off. Now sitting at the other end of the train shaking, mortified and hoping they don’t come to find me Confused.

A big well done from me too! They sound absolutely vile and they deserved to be challenged on their harassment

Wow!!! Don't be embarrassed! Be proud - they should be ashamed of themselves for their behaviour can't even take a train without leering at women.

I hope one of the teenage girls saw you!

MyKingdomForBrie · 07/12/2018 14:29

I'd have applauded if I heard you! WineCakeFlowersStar

CookieDoughKid · 07/12/2018 14:31

Girl you did GOOD. Put their small penises back in their place!!

INeedNewShoes · 07/12/2018 14:31

You did well to get such a coherent and brilliant sentence out! In that sort of situation my words tend to escape me.

Iknowthatguy · 07/12/2018 14:32

Amazing!!! You're my hero

Howhot · 07/12/2018 14:33

Lol. Good for you op

BarbaraofSevillle · 07/12/2018 14:34

Well done you.

I really don't understand behaviour like that. Just about all of those men would have had wives, girlfriends, sisters etc and not one would have wanted them treated like this, so why they do it to other women?

DowntonCrabby · 07/12/2018 14:36

You are my hero of the week BrewFlowers well done!

mimibunz · 07/12/2018 14:38

Yes!! This made me smile! Good for you! Smile

Foxssocks · 07/12/2018 14:39

That should be the new mumsnet saying.

Wolfiefan · 07/12/2018 14:40

Fucking awesome. Go you!
I’m betting they’re just total and utter cunts all the time.

JaneR0chester · 07/12/2018 14:41

Well done for speaking up! Flowers

I bet the whole carriage was silently thanking you for standing up to these idiots.

SantyClaws · 07/12/2018 14:42

I'd have clapped if i'd heard you say that Grin
