I was in a store with a friend once when a man put his hands on her and made a lewd comment. I told him, “Get your hands off her.”
He pushed me into a stack of boxes which knocked me and the boxes over. The owner kicked all three of us out of the store into the parking lot.
The man grabbed her again. Again I told him to stop. Again he knocked me over. We ran to the nearest house and banged on the door. They let us in thankfully where we stayed until we saw the man drive away. SCARY.
Obviously, I’ll never forget that even though it was decades ago.
