Today, I was walking to school with my earphones in, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was shocked, and whirled around to hit him in the crotch. I soon realized he was just trying to return the commuter pass I'd dropped at the station. FML

Today, I was walking to class, when a kid came up behind me and smacked me in the face a few times until I fell to the ground. I rolled over and he said, "Oh shit! Wrong person, my bad." FML

Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML

Today, I was walking around school alone and felt someone tap my back. I laughed and turned around to find no one was there. I felt confused when I felt the tapping again, which is when I chose to yell at the nearest person, "What?!" I later found out it was a bottle in my backpack tapping me. FML

Today, I was walking on a main street downtown. Suddenly, I felt someone slap my butt. I turned around, expecting to be my girlfriend who was to meet me there and almost gave an old homeless man a kiss on the cheek. 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, on the way home, a guy yelled "Hey, YOU!" from behind me, so I walked faster. He ran up to me, shouting, "I said stop, asshole!" I almost pissed myself in fear, thinking I was being mugged. Turns out I'd left my wallet at the grocery store, and he was just trying to return it. FML

Today, I was on a crowded subway going home. My trousers were a bit dusty so I tried to dust myself off. As I was slapping the side of my leg I missed and hit a woman behind me in the ass. She called me a pervert and walked off. Everyone stared at me. It takes 40 minutes to get home. 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 was on a bus and a man was feeling up my butt. I was just about to step on his foot when the bus stopped and he slipped out. Only then did I realize he'd stolen my wallet. FML

Today, I was taking a bus ride home, listening to some music. The music stopped and I assumed my iPod's battery had run out. Turns out someone managed to steal it, leaving my earphones in. I didn't feel a thing. FML

Why the hell would that be your first reaction? "Somebody tapped my shoulder - I'm gonna punch their nuts!"

"he tapped me on the shoulder" -> "I was shocked" Wow, were you raised by wolves?

All I could think of was MAC when he punched the tranny in the face.

Some of these reactions are even more shocking than the OP's, actually. It's obvious that she did it out of pure reflex. I'd be startled if somebody tapped me on the shoulder in public as well. I don't know if I'd instinctively punch them in the nuts, but I'd probably spin around like "WTF?"

Still an overreaction. Shouting "watthaFUUUCK!?" or shouting anything in the first place Is not an appropriate reaction to something as genuinely harmless as a tap on the shoulder.

"My dog startled me. So I kicked him across the room, covered him in gasoline, set him on fire, extinguished the fire, baked a cake, and then did a little dance. I couldn't help it! It was pure reflex!" There's a very short cutoff point for "reflex" to end and "lashing around in blind, stupid panic" to begin. It falls immediately after spinning around, jolting, and/or making a noise.

your first instinct when tapped on the shoulder is hitting someone in the crotch? really?

Who knows how many times the man tried to get your attention before tapping you on your shoulder. Try keeping one ear free or turning the music down low.

People like OP is the reason people don't like to help each other anymore. You try to do something nice for somebody and they treat you like a criminal.
