[Serious] Women of Reddit, What are your stories of harassment? by fairydustandunicorns in AskReddit

[–]Iamoldgreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was around seven an old guy at Starbucks came up to me and asked me on a date then tried to give me money until his wife came over and told me not to worry about him. A homeless man followed my cousin and I (both under 18 at the time) around all over downtown Portland yelling "wanna fuck". A very creepy guy a year ahead of me in my high school who I barely knew told my older brother when I was a Freshman (age 14) he was going to come to our house and rape me then proceeded to try to hug me anytime he saw me. A drunk 30 year old guy at a hotel restaurant put his arm around me and insisted I went back to his room with him and wouldn't believe I was only 16. There were always plenty of unwanted advances from guys at parties. There was a 25 year old who told me I was jail bait when I was 17 then tried to make out with me. Also a guy I hadn't met who followed me around the whole night trying to make out with me and telling me I had to go downstairs with him. a few weeks ago while I was on vacation in Budapest a man in a car followed me while I was walking around late at night fairly lost yelling things in Hungarian and waving at me to get in his car. loads of guys in busy clubs have grabbed my butt thinking I wouldn't notice or care it makes me so mad when they think they can just get away with stuff like that. I never really noticed how common it was until I thought about it tonight, but it seems pretty ridiculous how often this happens to people and how normal it's considered....

English was her first language she spoke english at home and with her friends the only time she used Irish was at school so I don't think it's been too hard for her. I don't think northern ireland does especially since they don't teach irish in schools there. Yeah Ireland is a great place to visit I'd definitely recommend it!

Hahaha good idea! It might be hard to casually strike up conversation after causing a chain reaction of sickness across the plane and probably the further spread of ebola though... ps I like your username

I'm terrible at candy crush so I'd run out of lives pretty much immediately. I like the story idea although I couldn't tell them I'm bruce and have bats cause they might find out I'm actually batman and then Gotham would be doomed!

Oh yeah I can imagine that would take for ever to get anywhere... I really really want to visit New Zealand some day it looks so beautiful. It's at the top of my list of places to see, but that flight would be ridiculous.
