Transportation: Look out!

Look out!

By station - 05/05/2009 05:10 - United States

Today, I was walking out of the train station when an old man grabbed me. I started screaming, yelling, "HELP" like a madwoman and tried pushing him away - that's when I saw the golf cart rush past me. He was trying to push me aside from getting run over. Everyone started laughing. FML

Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Today, I shouted, "Fuck off!" out of reflex when I felt someone behind me grab my bag and pull it off my shoulder. It turned out to be an elderly man with a walking stick, who was trying to steady himself in a busy crowd. FML

Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML

Today, I was at the supermarket when I saw an elderly lady slip on a wet patch of floor. I ran over to help, and I almost fell too before steadying myself. Then some pimply cockmunch of a teen decided to kick my legs out from under me and walk away while laughing his balls off. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML

Today, a guy grabbed my ass at the mall. I whirled around and went to sock him. He ducked and I accidentally hit the elderly woman standing behind him in the face. To say all hell broke loose would be an understatement. FML

Today, while playing golf on a local course, my idiot of a friend decided to push his pushcart down a massive hill towards me. When he realized that I was going to be hit, he screamed for me to move, but it was too late. I collapsed to the ground in pain, all while he chuckled about the situation. FML

Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML

Today, I was coming home from work and saw an old couple overwhelmed by the number of people at the train station. It was peak hour and I decided to help them. As I went up to them, they said, "Get away, go mug someone else". FML

I can't believe that none of my FML's get approved, but all these stupid "I thought a guy attacked me" stories get approved. Get over yourself. Nobody cares enough about you to "attack" you.

I am, in fact, a guy. You're 1 for 1 so far #41...what of it?

Oh yeah, and for #35... While I'm sure rape is about control and all that other stuff you mentioned...are you implying that rapists don't have standards?

Rapists sometimes victim preferences. Those are not standards - those are MOs.

I can't believe so many people clicked YDI...how should you know in the matter of a second when you're beng grabbed by someone if theyre taking you or helping you? I'm sure if you just apologized he would completely understand.

Poor thing. :( I would have been initially really freaked out and alarmed by that, although I probably wouldn't have started screaming right off the bat. Still, nobody is expecting to be grabbed out of nowhere, so it's not fair to say you deserved it completely - it's a totally novel experience, and the way you react is not entirely your fault. It was just instinct. I don't think you deserved it.

Well, #49, strange men do grab people from time to time. Most people don't understand personal space. I normally stomp on toes or kick in the shin or groin and reach for my mace if it makes me uncomfortable, haha. But OP, the best way to get attacked is showing you're scared shitless of anyone who comes near you. If you're that scared, carry mace. But ALWAYS act confident, even if you're terrified. It's statistically proven to make a difference.
