Tell us. A lot of women (as my 2 sisters have) find a creep or 2 in their lifetime.
A few come to mind at the moment. All when I was around 18-24ish.
Was walking home from work one day when a man coming from the other direction lunged at me and put his hand up my dress. I think it's the only person I have hit in my life. As I took off he ran towards me. I had a denim shoulder bag full of 20 cent coins (to use the pay phone) and I swung it at him. It sent him flying and gave me the opportunity to run around the corner and home.
Was a hostess for a coach company and we were all sleeping in an underground house in Coober Pedy. I woke to one of the passengers trying a sickening obscene gesture with me.
Working for the coach company again I'd been to Sea World enough so when the passengers had a day there I went to the beach instead. When I went to go back through the sand dunes a bloke started running after me. I got through to civilisation just in time. Thankfully it wasn't that far. Never did see my thongs and towel again.
This one was a really close shave. I applied for a job advertised in the Weekly Times to work on a horse stud in South Australia. There was an arrangement made to meet outside Spencer St Station. I went down and didn't meet the bloke. He rang me and asked where I'd got to. What threw him out was my boyfriend was with me and he said he expected me to be alone. Should have heard alarm bells ringing then. I went back a second time and met him. We went in his car (I know so naive and not street wise) to get some lunch. On the way he started talking about the job. He asked me words I'd use for what the stallion does to the mare and names for certain parts of the body etc. He was creepy as and I was petrified. Thankfully he was a bit distracted and the bonnet of his car god caught under a boom gate that was closing. I jumped out of the car and bolted. Some time later a young girl's murder in SA was in the papers. I am 100% sure it was the same man. He had distinctive red hair, pointy nose and beady eyes that I've never forgotten.
My cousin invited me for dinner with his family. When he was driving me home he stopped on a dark, dirt road and started to molest me. Thankfully a car came up behind us. I jumped out and asked them for help. They told me to get back in with him and they'd follow us. As soon as we got to the end of the road he got out, opened my door pulled me out and drove off. I was at the opposite end of the city to where I lived and had no money or phone. Next day his wife was on my doorstep abusing me for putting the hard word on her husband. She was feral. That cousin fell from a ceiling in an industrial shed and was killed. I'm a bit ashamed I learned I had a hard side then. All I felt was relief. So glad I'd never have to see him again.
I've also been held against my will twice by 2 different . An awful position to be in. I didn't fear for my life and wasn't touched in any way but it was humiliating and frightening just the same and I felt so hopeless. Once was for a few days and once a couple of weeks.
There are some, too many, horrifying other stories that I can't tell publicly out of fear for mine and others' lives. They were more personal than the random ones above.
