- Yesterday, my sister got on a New York City subway train at 42nd St. and
- at 96th, a guy stood behind her (note: The train was jammed as it
- was rush hour) and she felt what she thought was a gym bag bumping into
- her behind. At 103rd St. the train emptied a bit and she turned and saw
- that there was no gym bag or bag of any kind and was utterly surprised
- that this guy had been feeling her the whole time. She was sort of
- stunned and didn't know what to do. The guy moved away and stood by
- another woman and my sister thought he would do the same theng to her,
- but couldn't see his hands. She did, though, see the guy lean over
- and smell the other woman's hair, and as my sister got off right after that,
- she said *loudly* to the woman something to the effect of - Watch out
- for the guy behind you, he's probably been feeling your rear like he'd
- been doing to mine. So, the question is, what would some of you have done
- at the moment you realized there was no gym bag. My sister was stunned
- because after 7 years of living in NYC, this was the first time
- something like this happened.
