I am 44. I was waiting at a bus stop and a guy in a suit approached me and told me we could have fun together. He was invading my space so I moved away. He kept hassling me. He said he knew I wasn’t married as no-one would have me so why didn’t I hook up with him. As the bus approached he said, “I’m gonna enjoy having fun with you on here,” as I got on the bus he ‘accidently’ kicked my heel causing me pain and my shoe came off.
I felt really angry. I knew I was now on CCTV. I turned around and told him he’d gone too far and picked on the wrong person. I told the driver I was being harassed and if it continued I wanted him to call the police. The driver agreed.
My harasser starting shouting, “I never fucking touched her” to everyone on the bus.
I was embarrassed, upset and despite being fairly confident I just wanted to go home and cry.
