I hardly ever go out. Worked myself up leading up to it but knew I’d be fine once I was out (pre meal drink and meal with a couple of friends)
We went into weatherspoons near the restaurant for a quick drink, not busy with youngsters, just couples having food etc. Friends got a table and I went to the bar to get the drinks.
Bloke came out of nowhere and pretended to fall on to me and grab my bum really hard.
I responded by calmly moving one person down the bar and turned back to him and said assertively “if you touch 1cm of my body again, I will physically throw you out that fuckin’ door” loud enough for everyone to hear (his friends too).
He mumbled something about “I didn’t do anything” with a smirk.
The bar tender was brilliant. Asked if I was ok, and said I shouldn’t be sexually harassed standing at a bar, that it’s not acceptable. She was fantastic, she called over the only male bar tender and they refuse to serve him and told him to leave etc (which he did)
The other guy standing waiting to queue asked if I was ok and said I should have hit him.
I just despair, I know it was “only” an arse pinch but I was so self conscious and anxious about going out and within 3 minutes this happened. I know not all men are like this but it’s shit that I had to do / say what I did.
Think I might write to spoons and thank them for the bar staffs response to it, they could have dismissed it but they didn’t.
