Almost rude encounter.

Was in town today with my wife, just running some errands, and we stopped at a local supermarket for some lunch and some shopping. While walking through the store I noticed this trio, two men and a woman. Did not think too much of it until we stopped by the seafood section. I overheard one of the men telling the woman, "just walk past and give it a quick flip, that's what we did in grade school to the girls." Luckily for all concerned the woman wouldn't do it. Now these were not young people, they were probably in their 30's. My wife and I just walked away, I have no time for the adolescent antics of grown men playing at being kids.

Best way to deal with it, ignore it. Now, if they'd done it it would have been amusing to yell for a cop and press charges. Yeah, I know, I'm evil.

I would have had a tough time letting that one slide, but if I was in your situation and accompanied by my fiance, I'd have done the same thing. Had I been alone, probably not. I'll admit it, you're a better man than me. Good for you.

People KILL me.

Not too often, I hope.

I once heard someone say, "We never really grow up, we just learn how to behave in public." Not everyone, it seems.

It finally happened to me last weekend at Pride in the Pines. Place was thick with people. I'd been to the port-a-johns by the front gate and was walking back to my group in a crowd of people entering and a flow of people exiting.

An obviously drunk college age guy suddenly ducked down when he got near me and stuck his arm out and began to run his hand up my leg.

I instinctively spun out of his reach and turned to confront him (olde, but still 6' 250 lbs and well trained). He took off running out the exit.

Point is, if you have some indication what is happening, it may be possible to spin away. I'm kind of amazed at my instinctive response.

You've still got those cat-like reflexes, Ron.

I would have had to thump him on the noggin with my cane.

You had the displeasure, i on the other hand had the pleasure of a Chief Warrant Officer 4, female type - thank God - run her hand up underneath on St. Paddy's Day. It was a true surpris for both of us when she met the boys.
