I SAW what you did

I was on the bus today, people-watching.

At one of the stops, a woman stood up to get off and the old man sitting next to her reached up to (what I presumed) steady her (jerky bus, bad tempered bus driver. According to a friend of mine who happens to know about these things, Edinburgh bus drivers purposefully make the bus jerk, while muttering under their breath, 'You're all cunts, aren't you?' to which the hapless passengers can't help but jerk their heads 'Yes'...)

Anyway - his hand totally grabbed her arse, but in a pretendy- I'm-just-making-sure-you-don't-lose-your-balance- kind of a way. And it stayed there for quite a wee while.

Initially, I thought they were together, but it became obvious from her red and flustered face that he wasn't an acquaintance. She didn't say a word, poor woman, and just hurried off the bus. Feeling my rage rising ( I've had so many occasions in my life where I've been too embarassed or ashamed to retaliate when fuckers have made sexual innuendos or simply insulted me because I'm female) I slithered down the bus, sat in the empty seat behind him, and hissed in his ear, 'I saw what you did, and you should be ASHAMED of yourself!'

Then HE got all embarassed and shuffled off the bus at the next stop, looking all pathetic. Which made me feel a bit ashamed for picking on a wee old pensioner who can probably only afford supermarket own brand baked beans for dinner...

lol at hippychick's story!

Hermya321 · 16/06/2010 23:31

OP seriously well done!! You called him on his behaviour and he'll think twice next time.

Hippychick I had to giggle slightly, but only at the thought that as you got off you could have given him a look up and down and said with a loud sigh 'I've seen better' and walked off muttering about the decline in quality these days.

Well done OP.

And Runaway that is classic! PMSL.

Walking through Town on a Sat night with my friend who is, shall we say,rather lucky in the norkage Dept.
Some passing random fucktard thought it would be acceptable to just stop, grab her and went to actually stick his face in them
She stood in shock nailed to the spot, I grabbed him, pushing him backwards into a parked car.
He had to scrabble onto the bonnet and up the windscreen as I grabbed his crotch asking him if he liked it!

He may think twice before assaulting another women

We can't single handedly put the world to rights but if we take a stand occasionally it may make some difference.

Not quite as shocking as some of these stories but prettyVuvuzuela (by the way that name reminds me of the joke about the woman with acute angina) your story of a random nutter reminded me of the time I was a teenager and a friend of mine and I were strutting walking through town.
Some weird random bloke ran up to us, dropped on one knee and, with outstretched arms exhorted "Whip me, whip me and tell me you're 12" and then ran off.

Hope I haven't railroaded the thread (geddit?)

As you were......

PrettyVuvuzela1 · 17/06/2010 10:52

INS
That sounds like a normal occurrence where I'm from.

What is the joke?
Will I have to change my name!?

I'm normally PrettyVacant1 but namechanged for the footy.

I have been called PrettyVuVu on the TTC threads but it's anything but at the moment.

whilst traveling on the underground one morning, an unpleasant young man once had the temerity to pinch my posterior. I grabbed his hand and said in a loud voice '' I believe this is yours''.
