I was riding a bus last March when a stranger who seemed like in his mid-20s was staring at me.. Without me looking, I felt he touched my butt and then I was like shocked of what he did so I immediately slapped him thrice and then I immediately went down the bus. Good thing though I was almost near the bus stop and when I went home I thought about the incident many times and asked myself "Am I really that type of girl?" (No offense) But I just thought that way because I was just in my school uniform when it happened. So the question is, have you ever slapped a stranger in public?

No, I have never been in this position thank goodness. I think you did the right thing in slapping him. No one has the right to grab you or touch you like that. So many men think it is their God given right to be able to do things like this to women. I think that is just awful.
I am glad though that he did not follow you home. I hope you never see that jerk again. Good luck.

How disrespectful and rude of that guy to put his hands on you! I may have reacted the same way you did if I was caught off guard like that. Sometimes we just react impulsively. You should be wary of having confrontations like that with people you don't know though. He could have followed you off of the bus and did who knows what to you.
I can't say that I have slapped any strangers in public...but I have yelled at a few for reasons similar to yours. lol Sometimes people just don't respect other people's boundaries.

Hmmm.. Yelling in public isn't really my thing.. But at least you had the courage to do that. I should not just have slapped him though, I should have also yelled at him to inform the other passengers that that guy's a jerk ;)

If it also happened to me, that freak will get hell, LOL! I guess it's not you since you're wearing your uniform ...it's the maniac on the loose...that served him right. Next time he does it, he either lands in jail or to another planet. I really hate men who help themselves by touching strangers, especially girls like you. Had you learned karate, he would have all his bones squeaking in wrong places...way to go, girl...let's teach those lunatics a lesson!

I pushed a drunk guy off a lunch stool a couple years ago because he came over and sat down beside me and put his arm around me.I threated to kick him after he fell on the floor.He begged me not to hurt him and when a guy grabbed me from behind by shirt collar and yank me off my feet.He's lucky i didn't kill him.all because i told him to cut up some meat for sandwiches.He told me he didn't have time and when i started to walk off he grabbed me.No one should touch u unless u tell them u can.I know i proably would have done more.

That guy deserves to be slapped! If I were you I'd kick him in the balls. Back to the question. No, I haven't slapped a stranger or any one in public.

No, I never slapped a stranger. For you case, as you suspect he touched you, I would have caught him in his hand and voiced out loud enough so that all people on the bus know that I was treated badly. Police call would be the next step.
These people should really be punished and the prison is the only place they are deserved for.

I should have done that but after slapping him fear eventually came to mind so I hurriedly went down the bus. But at least I slapped him thrice, I think that would be enough to learn his lesson :) Thanks for the response :)

He deserves it if he is the guy who did that unacceptable behavior. However, we never know that if he never did it on purpose or even he was a black sheep and the culprit might not be him.
My answer to your question: I have not yet slapped anyone on purpose till the date i reply your discussion. Maybe guys tend to give someone harder than a slap.
Happy Mylotting..Thanks for sharing..

I think you should be there on that situation before you say those things. But anyway thanks, at least I earned a cent in your response.

i was going to once but my friend told me not to but i had a good reason, he had just walked past and squezed a 14 year old friends butt. so i chased him down the road until he was out of breath then my friend told me to leave it so i did, but i was going to kick his teeth in not slap him.

Hi! I have never slapped a stranger in public, but I wish I had. When I was still in college, I think during my freshman year, an old guy was seating right next to me on a bus, and he kept pushing me to the window, and before he went down the bus, he squeezed my thigh. I was so young then, and I did not know what to do, I took off his hand on my thigh and then I cried. Whenever I look back on the moment, I wish I had the courage to do what you did. They deserve it.
