I was on the bus heading home, and it was absolutely packed. Well, we hit some unexpected traffic, the bus jolts, and I swear, I had zero control over my body as I pushed forward. To break my fall, I kind of reached out to one of the handles, and my hand ends up brushing against this lady in front of me. Nothing crazy, just a light touch.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I say automatically. Mistake. Because this lady spins around, eyes blazing, and starts complaining about how I touched her without permission, how inappropriate it was and everything. I'm confused, trying to explain it was an accident, that the bus was crowded, but she's just getting louder. People are starting to turn and look, and I feel myself sweating.Now, people are probably thinking I'm some kind of creep.
She reaches a whole new level, demanding to talk to the driver and report my "assault." Thank goodness that guy was basically like, "Ma'am, please sit down," and shut her nonsense down. But honestly, I'm still shaken up. It's like, some people are just wired to find offense in anything, even a crowded bus.Later,a man came to me and said that lady is making dramas like that everyday in the bus and told me not to worry about her. TL;DR: Accidentally touched a Karen's hand on a crowded bus and received a lecture about personal boundaries.
