As for her inappropriate touching, your friend shouldn’t have been so polite. It would’ve been perfectly acceptable to day, excuse me, but please don’t touch me. Or just move.
It’s actually better to be rude & hurt someone’s feelings in this case in order to protect one’s personal space & body. Please let your friend know that.
If that lady was goimg to rage at that, then that’s on her. Then you could’ve gotten the manager to kickher out of the place if necessary.
To hell with people like her. People need to stand up to bullies like her more often. That’s why people like her do what they do.
Maybe a lot of people may not agree with me, but speak up or get the manager involved. Don’t just sit there & take the abuse.
Just try to reason with the person first. It’s called communication, not escalation.

Thanks Jesyka. Yeah, I think the touching is what angered me the most. Wondered if she was trying in a misguided way to use hands as a form of apology or was it as a show of dominance.? Who knows. My friend handled it the way she wanted to. I would have given her a loud “keep your hands to yourself!” as I’m more aggressive in nature and I have less patience the older I get. But it’s hard nowadays to walk that fine line of sticking up for yourself without ending up on YouTube because someone pulled their phone out and filmed you in an altercation. These are different times we live in. I guess the old saying still holds true “speak softly but carry a large stick”.
