Once when I was 12 I was eating a popsicle on the promenade when a homeless man came up to me and whispered in my ear that I have a s*** mouth

When I was 12, I was visiting my uncle and was swimming in his buildings pool while he sat on the side when a couple of guys offered to buy me. It was the early 80s, he tried to just laugh them away.

Some lady on the bus once asked if these are my real eyes.
When I told her of course they are she began crossing herself and saying the rosary at the top of her lungs. She was not actually holding a rosary. She was just saying the prayers.

I was a high school teacher (primarily 9th and 10th grade) for a decade. My first year teaching, I ran a few clubs that had older students. One of the clubs was for watching and analyzing films.
There was an upperclassman in there (let's call her Joanna), so I barely knew her, but she was always friendly and got along with everyone. After classes were out one day toward the end of the year, she came into my room and said, "Guess what today is!"
I had no idea and told her as much. She replied with, "It's my birthday!"
As weird as it might sound for some kid to come in and announce that information, it's not uncommon because sometimes they just want to be recognized or celebrated or whatever. I wish her a happy birthday and ask if she has any plans like a party with her friends.
I will never forget her reply. She turned to me and said, "Well, I'm 17 now. Did you know 17 is the age of consent in [insert the state where I taught here]?"
I have reflected on this a lot since then and I'm so glad I said, "...uh, okay."
She left and I was horrified by the situation, so I went to the principal and told him about it. He just laughed and said, "Yeah, that happens sometimes." Needless to say, I got a job at another school as soon as the year was over.

I met someone sophomore year of high school, we had gym together and every day we would walk around the track. One day she started sharing how she had spoken with her Dad the night before, he had come into her bedroom. I thought, where is this going? Turns out her Dad was dead and she was talking to his ghost.I smiled and acted like we were having an ordinary conversation.

I have a pretty pronounced overbite. A customer once decided to tell me a list of reasons for why I should get it fixed. First she said because I could get bullied (I was 25 at the time so bullied by who?). I told her that I was bullied but it was because I was a weird child, none of them ever said anything about my teeth. She said it could cause health problems. I told her I'm watching it but so far I'm okay. She said I would have a hard time finding a partner. I told her I was happily married and has been for a few years. (Still happily married for 22 years this year.) At the end I just said thanks but no thanks, if I want to fix it, I'll do it on my own.
When I wouldn't concede to her fake concern, she took her order and left.

I immediately pulled away and went somewhere else. The rest of the night she was a total b**** to me, trying at every turn to embarrass me.

One time my fiancé and I were in the drug store in the aisle containing personal lubricants and condoms. My neck was really hurting that day so my fiancé was rubbing it while I looked for the lube I like.
A guy snuck up right behind us, grabbed both my fiancé’s shoulders, and pressed himself up against my fiancé’s back while saying in the creepiest voice ever “hey there, is this the line to get massages?”
He then chuckled creepily to himself as my fiancé tried to make as much space between the two of them as possible and followed us around the store until we left.

Guy in the psych ward said he could still use me if I didn't get bottom surgery. I am a trans man. He had a history of breaking into another trans patient's room and then claimed he "got lost".

i was in my first clinical rotation of PT school. one of my patients was completely dependent on her husband for everything due to her lack of mobility, so he would always bring her to her appointments but would stay in the waiting room. my last day there, i told my patient I needed to run up to the waiting room and grab her paperwork up front. her husband knew it was my last day and stood up to give me a hug and thank me for being such a great PT to his wife. seemed innocent at first… until it wasn’t. he proceeds to hug me for WAY too long. i tried letting go & he wouldn’t release his grasp. he then kissed my cheek and neck and whispered “i love you.” right into my ear. I have never been so f****** creeped out in my life

I once hailed a taxi home after a couple of after-work drinks in town. A male friend walked me to the car and hugged me goodbye. After greeting the taxi driver and giving him my street and the drive begins, he asks "did you have a good time with your boyfriend?" I wasn't expecting the question so I laughed politely and said "oh, no! He's one of my friends." "Oh, your boyfriend at home?" "no, but my dad is."
I've forgotten a lot of the actual conversation now, but the drive was only 10 minutes. Halfway through, we get stopped by some traffic lights. He turns around to face me, and looks me up and down. "I can take a break from work!" I glare at him. "Oh, but your dad is home." "Yep. Light's gone green mate, please drive." 5 more minutes go by and I just get even more and more uncomfortable. I decide to bail 2 minutes before we got to my house (luckily I hadn't told him my full address) and asked him to just drop me off because oops I only have a tenner on me and my friend that I totally didn't text is calling me and I have to speak with her HEY GIRL WHATSUP
I've only been in taxis alone in daylight since. I'll book through safe channels or prepare accordingly if I need to travel at night.

I once had a guy in a truck asked me for directions. I was walking down the street. That wasn’t really the creepy part, it was when he got this weird look in his eye like he was confused and I realized he was using his other hand in an “up-and-down motion” in his pants area. He seemed genuinely confused that I hadn’t noticed. I managed to get this from peripheral vision and didn’t have to look down and just finished my directions and let him go.

I’m super heavily tattooed - I was at a friend of mine’s and he was care taking for his incresingly senile grandpa. Grandpa had good days and bad days, as is expected in the beginning of onset dimmensia ETC.
My friend lives in a big old Victorian house in a rural part of New England. I was seeing myself out around dusk on a really warm summer evening. I had on some cropped Levi’s and a tank top. I made my way down the stairs and out of the dark pops grandpa. He started talking about my skin, and how pretty it was. He asked me if I died tomorrow, if I’d consider putting my skin in a museum. He seemed astonishing lucid in this moment. I was absolutely speechless, simply just went “nahhh….” And left. Grandpa was moved shortly after that due to a multitude of other reasons.
