I was a teen on the beach when one of my boobs slipped out of my bikini. It was the first (and last) time I ever wore a string bikini, so I was unused to the challenge of keeping the bits in place. A woman I didn't know suddenly appeared directly next to me, like REALLY close, and I was like "um, hi?" She said as quietly as she could "your top. Fix your top." As I was fixing my top, I realized why she was standing so close - there was a group of skeezy dudes a little further down the beach who had been ogling me, and she was blocking me from their view, staring them down while she alerted me to the problem. In my mind, THAT is how you respond when you think a minor's body is exposed.

[@swedishmeatball4382]

Or anyone's body. I am a middle school teacher and I was in my mid thirties when I had an EXTREMELY ebarrassing wardrobe malfunction. I had just been on a trip where the other passengers stuffed their luggage on top of mine in the trunk during the car rid ehome. They had a bottle of wine in their luggage that broke and destroyed EVERYTHING in my bad; I couldn't not get the stains out and had to throw away several thousands worth of clothing. The culprits refused to reimbursed me. Anyway, as a result I was short on clothes on had to dig into a pile of discarded clothes in poor condition (it was difficult to get times in at thecomplez' laundry room and some asshat had thrown away several loads of my clothes the previous time I did laundry). I had ordered new clothe sbut they wouldn't be arriving for a few more days. So, I was dressed in a very old skirt and as I walking down this corridor filled with kids aged 12- 16 I suddenly felt how the elastic around the waist snapped. Two seconds later the elastic in my panties decide dthat they also had had enough and there I was, with my panties and skirt on the ground and my naked ass and well, front, on display. I completely froze from embarrassment. This was almost 20 years ago - today I would have gone viral as someone surely would have picked up their phone and filmed the funny video of the fat teacher who dropped her clothes har har - but for some weird reason only two 13 year girls noticed what happened out of the probably 80+ students. They were by my side within milliseconds; one in front of me and the other behind, blocking me from view as they helped me get my clothes back on and comforted me. I am eternally grateful for those two angels. And yes, the skirt and panties went straight in the trash when I came home. That school for whatever reason was were all my worst experiences as a teacher took place; I had worked there a few years previously when I went to work with food poisoning. It's a long story but my students were freaking out over the exam I had scheduled for that day and I HAD to be there to comfort them. Bwaha. We had just started the the exam when my students informed me that my face was green. And then I became violently ill and puked all over the room. Truly horrendous, but the kids were very sweet. They did fine at the exam too.

[@uniraffesaur]

Yep; she was a queen for that.

[@UrsulaZA]

Had a teacher do the same with my school skirt - gone to the bathroom and my skirt got stuck to my skipants/inner short (what I wore under my school skirt like sport skirts too) - HE pulled me aside and softly told me that I should fix my skirt. I didn’t feel uncomfortable and he handled it very professionally. No unnecessary comments or drama, just assistance.

When I was 20 I had a woman in a grocery store aisle call me a slut for the shorts I was wearing. I just remember everyone else in the grocery aisle staring at me as she berated me. She told me my mom must have raised me wrong and I needed to find Jesus. I was mortified and she only left after her daughter begged her to stop. I started crying and then this other sweet woman came up and said “Honey, don’t listen to her. You can’t fix stupid. You look just fine.” And she hugged me. I think about that woman sometimes and I hope she’s doing well.

[@Splat654]

I always was terrified of looking "slutty" so i dressed as a boy my whole teenage years. But one time my mom bought me a beautiful LONG dress. I guess it was a little coctail like dress but its gorgeous, even retro looking. Well, the first time i ever put the dress on, i was accused by an old woman, my friend's grandma, that i want to get laid with old men. I was like...15?? 16?? Like wtf. She just didn't like the idea that we were going to the historical viking festival. She didn't just insult a child, calling me a whore, but she also ruined my friendship with that girl, because i was deeply hurt that my friend did not stood up for me. Me and my new best friend now overcompensating that lost time at 25 by dressing up like disney princesses. Cottagecore style

[@PaulaJones-zu8jx]

I'm a Christian. That woman who came up to you in the end acted more like Jesus than the Karen who called you a horrible name. We are not called to insult random people in the grocery store. Sometimes people will put others down to make themselves feel better and it's not right.

You should've asked her why she's looking at your ass so much in the first place. If she aint gay then she can stop staring.

I had my neighbor pull that on me a week ago and I'm 33, but I'm short and I guess people think I'm younger than I am. It was like, 100 degrees out. I was in a basic af spaghetti strap top with a sports bra on underneath it and basic af jean shorts. Like, basic as hell summer clothing? "You shouldn't dress so SLUTTY, young lady." Told her that sounds like a personal problem for her, not me to worry about. I'm gonna let my dog start pooping in her yard to be petty.

[@2ndperky]

I'm glad there's still some good in this fucked up world. And what does she mean you need to find Jesus??? That woman who comforted you, she was closer to Jesus than the prude who insulted you ironically. I promise you, Heaven does not have a dress code. There was nothing immoral about how you were dressed, but it's extremely immoral to call a random stranger a slut in public. Why is it always the hyper religious ones who end up being the biggest sinners?

[@Kayla-rd5jd]

too many adults have this weird idea that it’s okay to place hands on children if it’s in the name of “discipline”. typically it’s their own kids, family members, friends kids but that weird idea definitely exists in some weird individuals esp older ones who were taught it’s normal to be aggressive or even sometimes violent to discipline kids. it’s so wild to me, you shouldn’t place hands on anyone in that manner (bc mature adults don’t deal with things this way and escalate things duh) but esp not someone who you think is a kid

[@dx4618]

Uhhh… but why would you even comment on her skirt and whether or not you can see her underwear AT ALL though? Regardless of your job, you have no right to walk up to a random woman on the street (or in a cafe/school/mall/wherever), let alone a young girl, and criticize her clothing, even if her literal @ss cheeks are out in the wind. There’s this thing called minding your own damn business, and it’s free. In this case, it’s very clear that the girl wearing the skirt knew very well what it looked like on her and how short it was (it wasn’t even that short, dear god), so this was not some sort of wardrobe malfunction that she could have appreciated being made aware of. She was just wearing a short skirt, get over it. Your idea/suggestion of walking up to an innocent young girl - who, btw, WAS minding her own business and simply existing in her body - and telling her that you can see her underwear and that you think she needs to change her outfit while you “cover her” is f!cking disgusting. You’re almost as bad as this psycho Karen! Maybe stop staring at other women’s @sses, b00bs, etc., then you won’t be so bothered by the sight of their bodies or general appearance that you feel the urge to bother innocent women with your unwanted and unwelcome feedback & comments on their bodies, clothes, or appearance in general. I know, what a wild thought, right? 🙄

[@jello4835]

Lots of people are commenting things like "Why would you think you can touch a child!" but I think that's WHY she thought this behavior was acceptable. Our society doesn't consider children, including teens, to have any bodily autonomy at all. As far as this woman was concerned, she had every right to touch this person BECAUSE she believed she was a minor. She, the adult in the situation, was allowed to reprimand this person in a physical way because she was the authority figure between the two, and due to her youth, the victim deserved zero dignity. It's sick.

Eventually I went on my own, and have been in therapy/psychiatric care for almost 25 years. It's not easy baring the thoughts and emotions you don't even want to admit to yourself, let alone to someone else.​ However, for most people (more than people want to admit), it's necessary to be OK. OK is great, which is something many NTs can't understand- which is also OK, as long as they acknowledge and accept it and us. Not a fan of sideline diagnosis, but speculating for speculation sake (we cuckoos have the "sight"😂) I also thought BPD initially, but maybe HPD?

She was in Japan at a supermarket and had gone to the bathroom. While she had buckled the top of her skirt, she had forgotten to zip it and her slip was visible. She said that a man in the store practically ran from her to get a female staff who tried her hardest to convey to my mom English only speaking mom what happened. Thankfully my mom was able to zip her skirt and ends the story by saying that it felt like the whole store sighed in relief XD

I know it's not the same thing, but what you said just gave me a flashback to when I was 10 years old and going to a haunted house with my friend. There were these people in demon masks with long tongues hanging out and it was the first time I had ever seen a mask like that. I asked this one person if I could pet their tongue cause I just wanted to know if it felt like a rubbery mask or if it was like paper mache or something. I guess I didn't explain it very well because all I said was "Can I touch your tognue?" And the person NEXT to the person I was talking to comes at me and says he will definately let me touch his tongue and he stuck it through a hole in the mask that I suppose is for breathing? Then a 3rd person comes over and says "that's a little too kinky" and I don't know what was in my 10 year old head because I knew what the word meant and I probably should have been really creeped out by it, but instead I just responded with "I expected it to be bigger" I don't know if they were even men or women but I figure everyone was atleast 18? Because I think you have to be 18 to work in a haunted house? IDK, I could be wrong. I am sorry people put their hands on you though. That is completely uncalled for. I don't even like people I know hugging or touching me and to have a perfect stranger talk to you in a way like "you are asking for it" is just insane to me.

She was then pretty mad at me for being “immodest”. It was a religious school but the shock of an adult shoving their hand in my shirt to make me be more modest has never left my memory.

[@klarasee806]

As a German, I find it extremely strange that young people in the USA are treated like children and patronized by adults for a very long time, and on the other hand the bodies of small children are sexualized to such an extent that even three-year-old girls cover their (nonexistent) breasts when bathing in public. In Germany, children of that age often go completely naked on the beach and people think it’s normal. Because it is. Do you really have to protect a ten-year-old from looking up a young girl's skirt and seeing her underwear? Will he be traumatized otherwise, or what? And anyone who actually thinks they have to be that "protective" should cover the boy's eyes and keep their hands off the young lady's skirt! In Germany, children grow up largely without this exaggerated sexualization of human bodies, and I believe it does them no harm at all. By the time I was ten, I had already seen countless stark naked adults, and today I am neither a sex addict nor a criminal... or whatever else the Idas of this world might suspect.

Although I've heard from an officer that it's only really illegal if a minor sees genitalia, not booty cheeks. Or... maybe the police just wanted to see a young girl in a miniskirt, idk. But it didn't sound like a case of victim blaming for once. It could also be to proof that Ida was tripping for no reason.

I'm Australian - I've HEARD (never experienced) of this thing called 'no shirt no service'. Which basically means if you're inappropriately dressed for the restaurant, staff will stop you at the door and ask you to leave and come back appropriately dressed. I've never seen it happen, i think it's reserved for really specific situations like 'hey you can't wear flip flops (we call them thongs, you get the point) in this five star restaurant. Please come back wearing closed shoes. But essentially, if a girl walks in wearing something you think is inappropriate but she isn't stopped by staff, you can't do shit. It's not your call. Go sit somewhere else. I just feel bad for the girl though honestly. This might sit with her every time she gets ready for a fun night out, and it shouldn't.

I work in a dispensary and people treat us like we’re sex workers. We are basically retail workers, but because it’s weed, they think that we’re easy??? It’s the weirdest anti-logic and half the male customers act this way. Management doesn’t even care. They just send an email saying if we’re harassed or groped again, we’re not allowed to talk about it.

[@coolgirl312]

No, she has no right to put her hands on the girl. If they girl's skirt was blowing in the wind and putting her cheeks on display, the lady could at most, approach her and discreetly let her know know, that's all. I do remember this one time in college, as I was walking in to the dining hall in the morning, and the lady who swipes the students in suddenly calls me over and whispers to me that a part of my skirt was tucked in to the waistband and asked if I wanted her to get it for me. It's was embarrassing but I was glad she told me in a way that no one else could hear it and didn't put her hands on me until she asked.

[@pixxieniicky]

starting off the paragraph like that makes me think you shouldn't 50 feet near any public place if you think any kind of touching without asking first is ever okay 😬🚩🚩

She literally said “and everybody clapped” and expected people to believe she was telling the whole truth and that she was in the right???

[@shannonfassler3852]

@ingeniousmaultasche6602 I think I maybe didn’t communicate clearly enough. “And everybody clapped” is a stereotypical addition to very obviously fake or exaggerated internet stories. That was what I was referring to.

[@wrendavey]

How tf is your solution to believing someone’s clothing is too revealing, to reveal more of them??? How is pulling down the short skirt helping the situation?? It isn’t!! She wanted to humiliate her

[@marleneflanagan7137]

I don't think she removed the skirt. I think she tried to pull it to an acceptable length. Like it was riding up. I don't defend her actions at all, the woman is nuts.

she didn't just skirt a teen in public, she skirted someone she initially claimed to have believed to be a MINOR.

[@ameliacallanSTEM]

I’m only halfway through this, but my absolute FAVORITE thing, is that she has it on recorded phone call, that she put her hands on this girl, and slid her skirt down. And yet, somehow she thinks she’s the victim. She legitimately admitted it.

Imagine being a 911 operator and this is the call you receive while someone could be getting murdered elsewhere. Like i hate this woman not only for the assault but for being useless in the world.

[@NoniUniques]

If you are worried about a 10 yr old boy looking up her skirt why not go up to her and say something politely. Like get her attention and whisper "hey girl sorry to bug you but that little boy is looking up your skirt just so you are aware" like someone let's me know that I'll adjust my clothes or move where the child can't see me. This entire situation could have been a moment of women helping women but instead she decided to assault who she thought was a child!

[@KatherineAcosta20]

Or, tell the kid’s mom what he’s doing…

[@Voodoofairy88]

The "10yo" is the blurred out face behind her at the PD. It's HER 10yo son. Instead of teaching her son he has to control himself, she showed him he's entitled to touch people any way he wants.

[@limiwa]

I agree. And yes, you should also teach kids not to stare, of course, but we as adults should also be mindful of how we display ourselves in public. A young lady like that probably just doesn't have that kind of awareness yet.

[@limarba9062]

It could be that her boyfriend was looking.

[@liliannjq7006]

​@@limiwaAbsolutely we should be mindful. However, your mindfulness & standards of how you want to present yourself in public are different from mine, or hers, or his. To each his own & no one has the right to impose their standards onto others. To say the girl "probably hasn't developed that awareness" is derogatory and untrue; younger people are hyper aware of how they present in public wheras you tend to care less the older you get.

[@lawrencelopez9839]

so she tried to publicly strip a stranger that she thought was underaged??

[@justkiddin84]

Yep.

[@DeathTheKidWazHere]

Insane that she thought they were minors and thought it was appropriate to reach under their skirts to pull at it. You’re telling me you thought it was the right move to inappropriately touch someone you thought was a minor because of how short her skirt is

[@jadedllamas]

Holy hell, she really pulled out an “and then everyone applauded”

[@avisaki6905]

"I got a standing ovation" is the same vibe of "And everyone clapped"

[@elaexplorer]

An ovation is everyone clapping

[@elisa-beary]

Imagine defending a crime by saying, ‘I got a standing ovation from EVERYONE.’ Which was a lie but also, that’s not a defense for SA & I can’t fathom having this little self awareness.🙄🤯

[@carriesmith3421]

Yeah can you imagine a man SA-ing a young woman and using the “ everyone applauded me for what I did”. As an excuse. It still doesn’t make his actions right.

[@patriciapeters7604]

Right. She DOES have self awareness though. At least, enough to sit there and lie to make it sound better. She's just a POS.

[@tiffanym1108]

I used to live near a highschool and I would see students walking to school. On a really cold winter morning, I was walking to the bus stop to head to work. A highschool girl walked by me with a mini skirt. I shook my head thinking the poor girl was going to freeze. But I didn't say anything. It was none of my business and I was busy trying to get to work on time. I couldn't imagine being so bored with your life that you have to harass people.

[@NotSarahLee358]

She seems to hate teenagers. Every time she says about them she is snarky and derogatory, like 'little teenagers, all minors, little girls, just a bunch of little teenagers etc". Idk it was they way she said it multiple times that got me. Edit: looks like Swoop noticed this too. I should've waited 😅 25:04

[@minkg8178]

She goes from saying she works for the state to saying "I work for the department" when talking to police, which feels like she's trying to imply she works for the PD. Also she kept referring to their "private parts" being exposed which would be a legal issue, however I'm fairly sure butt cheeks do not get classed as private parts. I originally thought she was claiming the girl's v*lva was exposed. She made it sound like she was wearing nothing under her skirt, then the skirt was ruched up. Even so, at that point you tell the person, you don't touch them, that's so weird.

[@ellemmenn2930]

Bingo!! And why is she staring at who she referred to as underage… why you looking Ida?? IMO she was super jealous of those girls

[@hey.pandora]

​@@lysiraeDon't you dare generalize Mormons as if we're all like Ida/Karen. I'm Mormon. I would have defended that young lady and protected her from any further physical or verbal assaults. Her skirt is not my business unless there's a wardrobe malfunction that needs to be politely & quietly addressed. I hope at least 1 adult had the decency to help these young women. As a Mormon, I absolutely would have.

[@Spiderlash97]

[@thebilliexojean]

How on earth she would think she wouldn’t face consequences for touching a total stranger like this blows my mind. Desperate need for a reality check. And how embarrassing! She’ll never escape this incident. Everywhere you go, you’re the dummy, forever.

[@Jcsim13]

Thanks for this one, Swoop. I was assaulted by an older woman who randomly started fondling my butt while working as a waitress. I was so young, and in such shock, its taken me years and years to realise it was assault and to understand the grossness I felt afterwards was completely valid.

[@ellemmenn2930]

I am so sorry you experienced that… no one deserves that

[@robinh9592]

Even if it was the classic “skirt stuck in the underwear” scenario and the full bum was visible it’s still not acceptable to put your hands on someone else’s body. All she had to do was say “hey excuse me, idk if you know but your skirt is riding up and we can see your butt” it would have taken like 5 seconds and saved that girl so much embarrassment. She probably felt so freaking violated having that woman stick her hands up under skirt and pull it down like that. Despicable.

[@verenabecker2724]

I once had that happen to me (skirt stuck in my underwear) as I was merrily walking up to the local elementary school to pick up my kid. Bless the woman who immediately jumped into action and let me know. She was the first person to see me after I got out of my car, so she saved me a lot of potential humiliation in front of a huge cluster of parents.

Quote from Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson " Any lawyer worth their salt would instruct the client. to NOT talk to the police under any circumstance" This video is the poster child for the argument. I will stick with the advice from the Supreme Court.

[@ellec3747]

I am actually so proud of the internet on this one. The worst of what the hate mob offered to this woman was telling her she committed a crime and threatening to report her to her job. And I know thats the worst she got because it was all she even claimed. One death threat and she would have been wailing about police protection, I'm sure.

[@mbledford]

If Ida was so offended, why not leave the restaurant?

[@misshershey01]

Or pull the Karen Special: talk to the manager! The staff could have spoken to the girls themselves if they were dressed inappropriately for the restaurant (some have strict dress codes, though it looks like this one didn't). Or she could, you know, mind her own damn business...

[@sam-or4bd]

Imagine being so confident that you could never do anything wrong ever that you assault someone you think is a minor, then call the cops about it. Tell me you have adult thoughts about kids without saying the word
