waiting for the bus on Oxford St this evening, my boob was grabbed by a random stranger. On registering that it was a random stranger I punched him and shoved him and started yelling... screeching really... he was surprised, cowering away from me and asking why I hurt him, he didn't hurt me, why did I hurt him... which was when i realised he's not the full quid and recognised him as one of the local homeless... and felt bad for hitting him, and screeching at him... even as I was still screeching at him... he ran away, my bus arrived and I got on, and shook for the next 20 minutes... alternately horrified and angry and sick ... and ashamed of how I handled it... Ange rang me while i was on the bus, and I opted to jump off in earlwood and get hugs, which was a good move... she helped put things in perspective and hugged me and patted me and made me laugh... I love Ange... leesa and hubes came home and gave more pats... then I came home and showered till the water was cold... feel slightly better now, but still .. wish I hadn't punched him and screeched... I know, not an unreasonable response, but... still...

I had a doctor who once touched my underwire (which was sticking out -it was an old Bra) after listening to my heart and I elbowed him in the face and knocked his glasses off! I don't feel that u overreacted i think you had a very normal response... unlike me. Anyway much love and *hugs*

It's not an over-reaction honey. I'd have done the same thing if a random person grabbed my boob.

I've done similar to a guy who tried to wedge his hand under my skirt on a night ride bus.

*hugs*

I agree punching & screaming is appropriate. It may also register in this brain that grabbing random boobs leads to hurts & scariness - which is a good thing for him in the longer run.
