Unfortunately, as I’ve noticed in situations where I did try to run, I’m slow as fuck and they would catch up to me in seconds either way. So I guess that leaves me with calling the cops and hoping for the best?

You’re officially my hero. Thanks for the gif, it’s amazing! :)

Alright, thanks :)

I wish I would fight. I have at least developed the ability to scream, though, so that’s something? I usually fall to the floor crying (depending on what it is, but when my boyfriend tried to hug me from behind a while ago that’s exactly what happened). Fuck panic attacks and everything. Fuck being raped and…

No, I learned at that moment that my reflex is to accept death and just wait for it to be over, unfortunately. Though accepting is maybe not the right word - I didn’t dare to fight, but I did cry and plead.

I would have ignored them because I would be trying to run away.

Would it be worth reporting?

We do realise that. The problem is that you may not know beforehand that someone is a psycho. Often, the crazy hides for a while, and we don’t want to take the risk which is why we’re wary from the start.

Is there anything we can do about idiots like the one above?

Oh yes, of course, nothing ever fucking happens. Just like in this article. It’s all in our heads right?

Off-topic: reminds me of an ex who thought (while we were still together) it would be hilarious to sneak behind me and put an arm around my neck as if he was going to strangle me. In an abandoned train station, in the evening (it wasn’t night, but it was dark), while I was reading (so not paying attention). Yeah, real…

Apparently there are actually people who believe breasts grow from being fondled. I first heard about this belief at age 10, when someone “helpfully offered” to help them grow. *shudders*

I was wondering about this. If it’s not allowed to be tight and not allowed to be baggy, then what can they wear?

Isn’t there also the thingy about humans not being able to read words of 3 letters or under at first glance? I might be misremembering, but if I’m not, that makes it extra shitty because a lot of people might actually feel obligated to tip while they otherwise wouldn’t, so even more money goes to the owner...

I don’t know if this fits the theme because I don’t really know anything about the American school system, but I was 14 so I’m guessing it will be at least close enough.

Yeah, I think so too.

Now you do know one who has gone to the cops, and it might even end well. I completely get what you’re saying, though. I have been luckier than most, evidenced by the fact that my case even got to trial.

This, and the fact that men also earn more in general. I’m personally a proponent of sharing equally (because I don’t “waste” money on make-up - I’m so clumsy I can only call it a waste) but I can definitely see where you’re coming from.

I was never allowed to answer ANY questions in primary school. In general I only got to answer when no one else knew the answer. When I asked teacher upon teacher why, they said it was because they knew I knew the answer and I had to give the other kids a chance to prove themselves. Guess who always got a chance to…
