Hitchhiking in Italy, with a friend aged 19 or 20, Gawd! What were we thinking of, nothing remotely sensible that's for sure. When she and I occasionally meet up we often mention "we were so utterly irresponsible, and dead lucky not to have experienced anything horrible"
One holiday in the Caribbean the food was so bad we only drank Cuba Libre and ate only Bread and Bananas. The holiday passed in a haze but at least we were not ill, most of the others were.
Went on a sea cruise- I was sick for 13 out of the 14 days. I have never felt so ill in my life.
Wheniwasyourage I live in Londo and when working I was standing in a tube and the lights flickered. A man tried to put his hand up my skirt and quick as a flash I grabbed it and asked loudly who it belonged to, holding it up! He fled!
NanKate, you are brave for mentioning it now. Sadly, it seems to be a common reaction when that sort of thing happens to women that they don't immediately haul off and wallop the pathetic man involved (sometimes it's probably safer not to do so anyway), so don't feel that you should have done so. You did nothing wrong!
I was about 15 and travelling on the train home in the winter when the lights failed on the train for about 30 seconds. A chap I knew who was about 18 took the opportunity and put his hand up my skirt. Fortunately the lights came back on and he stopped. I wish I had slapped his smug face, but I was too embarrassed.
I can’t think that young girls today would be as naive as me.
I’m fortunate for the rest of my youth I avoided unwanted attention, when I know some of you reading this will have had far worse encounters.
