I've never been flashed at either.

munkysea · 23/06/2011 13:07

Nope, thank god. Touchwood it'll never happen

WowOoo · 23/06/2011 13:09

Lots of times yes. In lots of different countries too, including UK. From teen years to late 20's I'd say.

Since I've had children and have hit my late 30's it has not happened thankfully. But, I still see men who stare and I often think he could be a flasher type (perhaps total paranoia but it's something in his eyes that worries me) and I need to leave where ever we are.
Sometimes, they are staring at a teenage girl. Sad Angry

Nope.

tigana · 23/06/2011 13:14

No flashing.

groped...well...by a boy in same school year as me who I didn't really know very well, he sort grabbed/felt my boob as we passed on stairs at school. Didn't really phase me, felt like it could almost have been an accident tbh.

mrsjohnsimm · 23/06/2011 13:22

Never, so far as I know.

I did have someone who I thought was rubbing himself up against me inappropriately on a crowded Tube once, but I wasn't sure enough that that was what he was doing to make a fuss (it was very crowded and it could have been innocent) so I just moved.

Rindercella · 23/06/2011 21:09

Gosh, I realise I have lots of groping stories too. I have told this before on MN... A friend of mine was on a packed tube once when she felt some creep rub up against her. She could do nothing about it, save for a sharp elbow in the ribs. When she got off the tube, she put her hand in her coat pocket and found that he had come in it. Just how disgusting is that?

I had a very frightening experience in Italy once - funnily enough at the same place owned by my convicted flashed boss. One of the local lads found out I was living there, came up to my flat (there was no lock on the door Hmm) got his cock out and thought somehow that I was going to have sex with him. It was terrifying actually. I was 18 years old. He groped me. I managed to kick him out, but it did take a bit of a fight (thankfully am quite strong).

Am loving the book idea...I am thinking of a Julian Barnes-esque "A History of the World in 10½ Cocks" (but hopefully not quite so up itself) Grin

Not been flashed at, have been groped. And of course had nasty things shouted at me. In fact that would be my bet for a an empty thread:

Sign here if you've never had anything unpleasant (I'm thinking specifically sexist and/or of a sexual nature) shouted at you in the street.

DontCallMePeanut · 24/06/2011 15:27

Never been flashed. Groped, coerced into sex to save myself from the ex's temper, but never flashed.

Meglet · 24/06/2011 15:33

Never.

My sister has, twice.

InmaculadaConcepcion · 24/06/2011 20:17

Never been flashed at or groped or forced into having sex against my will.

Thankfully.

I hope I never will be.

balloonballs · 24/06/2011 20:22

never

Tuggy · 24/06/2011 20:23

Never

hotCheeseBURNS · 24/06/2011 22:42

When I was a teenager I was sitting on the back seat of the nearly empty bus home, a man sat two seats in front and started masturbating, looking at me over his shoulder. Luckily he got off after a couple of stops, I was pretty shaken and very angry by the time I got home

BlueEyeshadow · 24/06/2011 22:46

Never

MarionCole · 24/06/2011 22:53

Flashed at in a market in Germany and groped on a commuter train in Japan. Never knowingly in the UK.

"....... Luckily he got off after a couple of stops.........."

I've never been "flashed".

Tortoise · 24/06/2011 23:22

Never been flashed at.

AlfalfaMum · 24/06/2011 23:32

Me and my friend used to get flashed at a lot when we were about 9/10, usually in the park. Such a strange thing for grown men to do to children, I hope it doesn't happen so much now.
I cant remember if we ever told our parents.

not yet, would probably have a stroke if someone flashed me at my age!

If I could reach that is

headfairy · 27/06/2011 19:35

only once, fairly recently. I was sitting in a traffic jam absent mindedly looking in to a window above a shop. It was middle of the day in midweek, so I suppose I could reasonably have expected the people who lived there to be at work. I saw a shape moving around but could't quite work it out because of reflections and light bouncing off it. Then I realised it was a block, stark bollock naked, laughing and waggling his nob around at me. He could obviously see me long before I could see him.

Ridiculous twat!
