every time he did it

back to being 1 to a seat with our peevish little record bags taking up the rest of the seat*

* attempt at humour and social comment

I've found my knee resting by mistake against girls on the tube and then recuiled in horror incase they think I'm Fred West. Also if a man does this to me on a tube I feel terribly repulsed so I understand totally what youre saying!

-Fortunately I'm a guy so this hasn't happened to me.

-No, I would never do such a thing.

You should have got up and moved, that would have been the easiest way surely.

then punched him in the balls

to make it worse the fucker gave me his paper when I was getting off, almost like payment. If it happened now I would say something, who cares if it's an accident they should be more aware

and then used a ninja-thigh-death-grip to crush his hand

I didn't object though.

I can well believe you didn't have a clue what to do!

Whenever anyone sits next to me on the bus (which I hasten to add is usually when it is full) I purposefully attempt to gain as much space as possible, heaven forbid I would permit my tesco carrier bag to touch them. That said, a lady with a moustache once sat next to me and genuinely crossed her leg over into 'my side' of the seat. She must have been 70 odd and was wearing Asian clothing - I was terrified of the racism card so I sat tight and almost tripped over as I stood up to leave.

As for your circumstance, the Asian, glasses and lady obsessions make it all sound a bit Virginia Tech to me. Eeek!

that just sounds really nice, you could probably write an essay about it for the lack of physical contact in western culture. People in italy, both men and women, are constantly kissing and hugging each other just for the hell of it. We don't really do beyond a handshake in "The West" so you get people like that guy, reaching out on a bus, longing for a more tangible connection to the humans around him.

Pretty. Fucking. metaphorical: Both of you on a bus, travelling somewhere, transcience and all that, him reaching out to you, desperate for comfort, lost in the world.

I admire that guy. You should'ave asked his name.

Guys who do that sort of thing are really sickening.
How do they get a kick out of grossing someone out and just being really disgusting?!

My worst public-transport-related-groping was when some massively fat, old, sweaty guy in a pink shirt basically grabbed my chest with both his hands and slammed me up against the metro station wall. Luckily his equally disgusting looking friends pulled him off me but euuuuuuuuuurgh, that was horrible.

Rush hour on the tube is horrible too. Like, feeling a guy's crotch being rammed into your thighs... and you just know it's not accidental.

I'm going to stop typing before I vomit everywhere.

Eurghsjffhsdshgdh.

is the right answer.

Seriously though, i think the likliest explanation for this behaviour is that he'd suffered a massive brain haemorrhage resulting in an almost total loss of his faculties and was trying all he could to get your attention. He focussed his final living efforts into moving his finger in your general direction in the hope you'd realise his plight and save him.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

Grabbed his bollocks, ripped them off, and stuffed them in his mouth, whilst screaming 'EAT YOUR BOLLOCK YOU FOREIGN FEELER, TOUCH MY LEG AGAIN AND YOU'll BE SHAGGING YOUR OWN COCK!' Then you should smear his crotch blood on your arse and dare him to touch it. Finally claim that you're pregnant, and that he owes you money.

i'm so pleased i'm not a lady, i'd be scared to go out!

i was going out with her at the time though, so...

...actually, when i was 16 and even more socially retarded than i am now, your man up there would have probably seemed to me to have the physical contact thing down to a T. that's quite depressing really, because it's a bit gross and a bit disturbing

I find it bad enough observing the behaviour of sleazy men in clubs and that doesn't even usually involve actual groping.
I sometimes put my hands down either side of me on the bus/tube so one day I expect a Peep Show style incident where someone sits on my hand and then I have to point out that my hand is under them and I die of embarrassment.

could remain so quiet while enduring that

I'd have taken the European approach and screamed at the guy to get the fuck off the bus before I broke his wandering hands

GIRL POWER

grinding into me. It was one of those moments where you couldn't move for love nor money. I felt quite violated at the time.

What a wanker that guy was next to you tho! Poor you.

That's not on at all.

As a child (about 9 or 10 years old) I went for a pee in Inverness Bus Station and some creepy old man kept looking over at me. I think he was a big perv, it made me :( I quickly finished my business and scuttled away. If that happened now he'd be lying in a pool of his own blood, wee and probably semen.

*abandon reply*

that a friend of mine fell asleep on Brighton beach, and when he woke up, he was being sucked off by a tramp. So I guess it could be worse, eh?

I had shoulder length hair, and I've always been skinny and that so I guess I looked a bit feminine. Anyway, we went on holiday to Tunisia and I was swimming in the hotel pool and this boy must have thought I was a girl or something because he swam next to me and full on groped my non-existant right tit.

I've never told anyone that story before :-)
