To think this is horrid?

Currently on holiday with DH. Having a great time.

Yesterday I needed to nip to the room and DH decided to stay by the pool - I threw on my skirt and walked back to the room in a skirt and bikini top.

As I was marvelling at a MASSIVE lizard as he crossed the path a bloke was walking towards me... I smiled at said bloke who proceed to do a motion with his hands as though he was juggling my boobs Hmm

Surprisingly, for outspoken me, I just continued to smile like an idiot. But I was so uncomfortable. DH was fuming when I reported back.

Now I’m totally uncomfortable walking around in just a bikini top and skirt.

I’m just so annoyed at myself for allowing some prick random to make feel so uncomfortable.

I don’t really know what my AIBU is other than surely my smile doesn’t mean you can waggle my tits!??

It is horrid and it was nothing to do with you smiling. Easier said than done but try not to let it spoil the rest of your holidays

Sparklesocks · 10/05/2018 20:36

He is vile and I’m sorry it made you feel uncomfortable on your lovely holiday. How gross.

Ikabod · 10/05/2018 20:38

Euch. What a prick.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/05/2018 20:44

Was he pissed?

grossholidayman · 10/05/2018 20:44

I’m more annoyed at myself than him. It’s so unlike me to just grin and bear it. And now I’m so self conscious. Urgh!!

DH keeps telling me not to let it bother me, but I even had a moment of doubt before taking off my playsuit to get in the pool today Blush

DH says that I will find pathetic men all over the world and I should just ignore him but it’s so so hard!! And also, the feminist in me is shouting BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO IGNORE IT? He shouldn’t have done it!! Angry

Well yes he shouldn't have done it but getting all irate now will only ruin your holiday.

Let it go. Enjoy your holiday.

ReanimatedSGB · 10/05/2018 20:57

Oh that's grim. Sorry you had to put up with it. Unfortunately, as you don't know who he is and it happened hours ago, there is nothing you can practically do, so you have to try to let it go, because he is an insignificant creep with a tiny penis and a pathetic personality. And he is not worth spoiling your holiday over.

ClarkWGriswold · 10/05/2018 20:59

That is actually disgusting. Just be smug in the knowledge that he is an absolutely scummy arse and enjoy your holiday. I would like to keep the faith that 90 percent of men are not like this and would be as disgusted as we are.

JessiCake · 10/05/2018 20:59

Foul. Please don't let it even affect your holdiay, let alone ruin it.

Honestly, what is WRONG with some men people?

JessieMcJessie · 10/05/2018 21:00

Was the bloke a fellow tourist or a local?

grossholidayman · 10/05/2018 21:07

foul he was definitely a fellow tourist. He had that English look about lhim if you know what I mean?

reanimated that’s exactly what DH said re: small penis

I don’t know why I didn’t smack him upside the head - that’s exactly what I would have done at home. I think it was because it was the real first time I had been anywhere without DH beside me. It really felt like an opportune moment that he took advantage of. DH isn’t the smallest man in the world and he never would have done it with him beside me. I think that just makes it worse Envy - not envy

Did he see the lizard? did he interpret you smile as giving him the glad-eye? (although why he thinks tit-juggling is a chat up line is beyond me) . Put it down to twatism.

FittonTower · 10/05/2018 21:21

I do not understand why men do this, the only reason can be to make women feel uncomfortable - its not like any woman has ever had a man mime tit-juggling at her and and thought "well that handsome specimen is the man for me".
Don't let him ruin your holiday and it was nothing to do with you smilling and everything to do with him being a bell end.

grossholidayman · 10/05/2018 21:42

fitton funny, that was exactly my first thought. Devour me in these palm trees you wanker Grin

newyear Him seeing the lizard surely makes no difference. I’m a woman on holiday - I can walk around in whatever the fuck I want without some idiot making me feel awful?

I suppose I know the answer. Let it go, move on... but the rage at myself and him is still there Angry
