Hi There!
A while ago i was on my way to work in the early morning. I had my [head]phones on, had my coffee and i was in a Monday mood. I was waiting for the underground and i was leaning against a pile, out of time by my music.
Out of nowhere someone held my arms from the back and a guy jumped in front of me and he groped my breast. I was so extremely shocked that i couldn’t even say something. And the other 40 people around me just jumped into the awaiting metro, so did the guys.
My heart beat like hell and i had eye contact with a woman who saw it. She was in the metro, stared at me, shook her head, and gave me a look like i was guilty. That woman was round 50 an i am in my late 20s. One of the guys where in the 20s, the other one around 40
I arrived late at my work that day. Normally i can deal quite well with the daily street harassment, but that was so over the top and took me some days to get over it.

How horrible. Especially to have the Older woman act like it was your fault. I am so sorry.
