I have. And I think folks should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed for sharing their experiences.

    Once in my favorite bar a long long time ago a very large guy I knew from an atheist group heard me saying I was bi and I guess mistakenly thought I was into him, he got really drunk and groped my inner thigh like right next to my crotch and put his face like 1 inch away from mine. I was frozen in place in shock and confusion.

    Dude wanted an otter and thought I was down… He got shoo’d away by bar staff. I felt weirdly guilty.

    Then at work an old lady with dementia kept sexually harassing me. Grabbed me multiple times tightly. Then once literally walked up to me and said “I would like to have sex with you” just full stop. I hid in my office a lot if I saw her absently wandering around the center.

        She didn’t… community center with a senior citizen program. Husband wanted to play pool and kept bringing his wife with dementia along with him because he did not have the money to put her in a proper care facility. She eventually got barred from entering because of all the incidents.

        Does the American public count, with respect to elections?

        But also it’s possible they worked in a place that cares for people with dementia, they didn’t say it was a co-worker. Plenty of retail jobs might have frequent encounters too.
