Not sure what to do..

So I went to the cinema Sunday evening.
When we got there, there was a woman on the entrance into the cinema itself checking tickets.. when it was our (me and my DP's) turn to show our tickets, she instantly reached out to my chest and tried to remove a hair from my top. She didn't get it the first time, didn't even explain to me at first what she was doing, and so she was messing around with my top / right in between my boobs for what felt like a lifetime whilst giggling that the strand of hair was 'tricky and not budging'

I don't think she meant anything untoward and was probably genuinely wanting to help, but I have been SO uncomfortable since.. and I don't know what to do.
I personally couldn't imagine reaching out to someone's chest and grabbing a loose strand of hair. Of course if it were there I would mention it to the person if I thought they should know.. but I felt like my personal space was completely disregarded with no thought as to how I felt about this woman reaching out and touching my chest on several occasions, even when I stepped back towards my DP in shock SadBlush he did tell the lady that 'that's enough' and we walked away quickly to our screening.

I sat there the whole time mulling over what had just happened.

I feel so embarrassed.

What do I do?! Do I send an email to the cinema? Or leave it..? Or put it down to one of those strange experiences..

That's a strange thing for her to do. But honestly I'd forget it and move on. She probably thought she was being helpful.

A bit odd but I personally wouldn't worry about it. These things are more about intent and it doesn't sound as though there was anything malicious in her actions 😊

She probably recognised after the event that it was a weird thing to do, after she'd had chance to take in your reactions.

Just try to forget about it.

I wonder if it had been a man if people would tell u to forget about it. I would complain its totally inappropriate.

She might have finished her shift that night and cringed hard.
