Butt slapping during running
Unbelievable. I seem to be able to attract the most unsavoury characters in Australia. While running yesterday around 6pm at Princes Park, some guy on a mountain bike decided it would be okay/fun to slap me on the butt while I was running.
Needless to say, I was less than impressed and yelled out that he wasn't respresenting Australians very well at all. I wish I had the sense to grab his shirt or skateboard on his back and yank him from his bike. It wasn't like I was the only one running nor am I the only one running in form-fitting outfits (besides which, I actually had a coolmax t-shirt on as opposed to a tank top). I almost caught up to him at the stop lights but I'm not sure what I would have done then.
The worst part is that I lost sleep over it last nite since I couldn't get it out of my head and it kept turning over and over about what I should have done.
It's been recommended that maybe this is how melbournians greet each other and I should just go around slapping people's butts and seeing the reaction. strange folk they have here.

Some people have no respect! In defense of Aussies that stuff happens here too. I know someone who got there ass grabbed while walking to class by some dude on a bike.
I suggest you stay focused if you ever ride the subway in Tokyo - that's the capital of random acts of groping...sketchy.

You are certainly a "looker" when you are out exercising. Seems like the chap was trying to "pick you up". Was it the same guy who launch the picking up attempt during your cycling a few months ago?

i would've screamed out: "watch out for that pervert on the bike, he grabbed my boobs", but that'll make me look crazy, not him.
hmmmn. we need think of a good one-liner here...
