Ways in which you've been touched inappropriately

I worked in Coppers when it first opened. Used to collect glasses etc off the tables and floor.

I was 17, it was summer time, i was earning some money..i had the arse, mickey, balls, cheeks groped, grabbed, squeezed by women of just about all age groups.....great times. I laughed at it then and do now. Other way round though and I'd be doing porridge.

Another time on a train i had a drunk oul fella chat shite to me and then grab my leg just above the knee and mutter something..i simply told him do not touch me again in a very serious tone..guess what he didnt touch nor speak to me again

People and especially the younger generation need to learn to be a bit more about themselves. Instead of going on twitter saying some creepo touched you on the shoulder looking for faux outrage from faceless avatars confront the person and in no uncertain terms make them aware its not to happen again and whether thats in a social or professional setting shouldnt matter.

I thought it was funny

I think women in general expect the worse from men, it's part of their makeup, because of the way a certain amount of men act. Everyone is painted with the one brush, but in reality almost every man is respectful towards women, but there are so many men, that even 0.05% is a vast amount of men who are creeps

I think if someone have had made a sudden motion like that around me I would have been wary at the start(regardless of sex).

I've probably done similar when wasps were flying around me.

Once upon a time during halloween, a random stranger, quite a big guy, walked over to me and swung a punch - a close range hook - out of the blue.

As I had a mask on and limited peripheral vision, I only realised at the last moment. Still my reflexes kicked in and I rolled the the punch.

I thought to myself, this seemed like inappropriate touching.

OP sounds to me like you have some form of Autism because what you indicated in the OP are symptoms.

I'm slightly Autistic and anyone doing a "how to win friends and influence people" touch on the elbow or pat on the back is likely to get a punch in the jaw. Luckily I understand my "issues" and can take corrective action and prevent myself doing what my brain is telling me to do.

Brid, yet again you demonstrate that you don't understand normal interactions. You're way of the mark in calling those stories examples of inappropriate touching,

But you are equating “anything […] you didn’t like” with “inappropriate”, which is the problem. None of the examples you give in your OP would be deemed inappropriate by most people, which is why everyone is (yet again) confused by your thread.

Okay, yet again you have your own standards and norms. Specifically; none of your examples were 'inappropriate touching' as anybody but yourself would define it. Crass, tiresome, or cringeworthy perhaps but not inappropriate.

If you don't want comments on what you post then perhaps post somewhere like Personal Issues rather than After Hours where you persist in raising bizarre interpretations of everyday interactions and taking issue with the responses.

I cant remember every single time throughout my life but these are a few that stand out.

1. When I was about 6 my uncle slapped me across the face because I took his hat.
2. When I was 10, my teacher told me to stand up, she grabbed me by the arms and shook me aggressively because I hadn't learned my tables.
3. When I was 14 and leaving the cinema with my friends, we walked past a bookies that had a few middle aged men standing outside, one of these men grabbed my ass and laughed about it with his middle aged friends.
4. When I was 17 my first proper boyfriend pulled up my T-shirt and bra in a public space. When I got upset he told me I was far too sensitive, I believed him.
5. This same boyfriends brother punched me in the arm 'as a joke' giving me a massive bruise on my arm.
6. At 18, One of his friends smacked me on the back of the head with a packet of biscuits and told me to 'Shut up, woman'.
7. At 18, in a nightclub, a man grabbed me and forced his tongue in my mouth.
8. When I was in college I was groped hundreds of time in bars & clubs.
9. When I was 22, a girl I was friends with in college slapped my arse so hard I had a bruise.
10. When I was 23, a guy who I thought was a friend raped me but I had no way of proving it so couldn't do anything about it.
11. I went a bit mental after this and got into an abusive relationship during this relationship I was raped, pushed, kicked, slapped and physically hurt regularly.
12. A man who constantly pestered me to go out with him saw me out one night, came up to me, grabbed me, forced me to kiss him and physically tried to drag me out, despite me resisting and telling him to get his hands off me, he only stopped when his friend told him to.
13. My brother was pretty aggressive when we were younger so ive had regular instances with him being violent towards me but one that sticks out was when he grabbed my neck/shoulder & forced me to the ground because I disagreed with him.
14. Another ex threw me into a radiator leaving me with massive bruises.
15. More recently, on a night out, my friends brother grabbed my breasts and left me with bruises, he also ripped my jeans.
16. On another night out recently, I was groped by 3 different men and one of them forced me to kiss him, id actually ran from him & stood near a seperate group of men thinking id feel kind of protected or he'd take the hint but then one of those men groped me 🤦‍♀️

Men have a lot to answer for.

And there is collective responsibility - there are cultural aspects which need to be addressed.

Not good enough.
