I think I just got assaulted during a suit fitting ...

Sexual assault is sexual assault.  What did the store management say when you called them?

 

It's not right and it's nothing to laugh off or joke about.  Women do take these things more seriously, because we're the only sex that can get pregnant from sexual assault.  But if you were made uncomfortable by a supposed professional in a store where you can be in a vulnerable position (dressing room, partially unclothes) then you should have reported it.  Too bad for that store clerk if he gets fired.

 

Sorry you experienced this, balki.

Sorry you experienced this, balki.

 

Sorry?

 

I'm sorry I didn't have a camera there record it. That could make some serious bank in the porn industry.

 

Missed opportunity balki. Maybe go back again with a pocket camera.

I'd take it as a compliment personally but I know that sounds extremely ignorant and comes off like i'm trying to make fun of sexual assaults.

 

I've had people whistle at me before while I was walking down the street and it made my day personally I felt like a god damn boss. ( i know thats different from being touched im just saying)

It's interesting to me how many people have laughed this off.

 

I wonder if they would have if it happened to them.

 

Somehow, I think many of them would've taken the same tack you did.

 

Pure shock.

 

Then again, sexual assault on men versus women tends to have a different standard and level of acceptance.

 

If this was your daughter or your son and they came back to you with this story I think most people would have a different opinion.

 

I've been fitted for many suits over many years and in several decades.

 

Never has someone decided to join me in the fitting room.

 

By your own standard, red flag number one.

 

Any touching under clothing was red flag number two.

 

You were assaulted, period.

 

Not really that funny actually.

 

Edit: Hopefully, this thread doesn't become, "legendary".

Yeah, a guy follows me into the dressing room and he's going to be asked to step out.

If his action are making you uncomfortable speak up.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm just not comfortable with this level of physical contact."

His silence was tacit approval. Clearly.

Okay can we get some more details? Did he follow you into one of the actual "cubes" in the changing room? Because most changing rooms have a common area outside of the cubes that you can wait around while the other person dresses. But did he actually follow you all the way into one of the small change cubes and shut the door? If so, that's super creepy

Haha, I'd say somewhere in between .  There was definitely some hand-in-the-crack action if only for a moment.  That's as descriptive as I'll be without getting the mods involved.

 

Again, sorry if I made the first post sound like an episode of SVU, but I definitely did not have plans to get felt up by a middle-aged man in a department store fitting room today.  (And one person brought up an excellent point -- this guy was definitely NOT a legit tailor, he was a department store suit salesman).

 

I'm already on the laughing end of the equation (partly due to some of your posts), but I was definitely in a WTH mood when I posted 2 hours ago.

 

Wait was the guy's name Gino?  and did he look greek to you?

I'm sensing sarcasm which seems pretty stupid because I never once implied it was tacit approval.

Let me ask you then, what would you do?

Seriously, tell us all how you would handle that situation.

I was making a joke on his "quiet acceptance", nothing about your comment really.

It's not an interesting question "what would you do".    Because everybody including Balki1867 given time and a full understanding of what was about to happen would react similarly.    The things which makes this possible are (1) you don't know what is happening until it's over;  (2)  you have no fear, concern, or even understanding such a thing like this could happen to you.   It's just so outside of your experience.

If it was a one time grope ok, but this seems to have gone on for a bit.

That said, I'm going into a dressing room by myself, regardless of past experience.
