So I seriously had one of the most violating experiences of my life today. We were in san francisco today to take Derek to Alcatraz for his birthday. We got to the pier, bought our tickets then had a few hours to kill so we were walking around on the pier. We decided to head over to the arcade to take our photo booth photos. Everytime we're down on the pier we go there.
So we're in the Arcade and there is all kinds of old arcade games and what not, from the early 1900's all the way to games from now. So just for some background on this situation - There is this one thing called "laughing sal" it's basically this huge fat lady that just laughs. She's the "main attraction" but I forget why. Anyway, when we walked in someone had put money in so it was laughing then I heard some kid imitating it. So I turn around and its this kid, maybe like 16 - 17 and I just think he's some obnoxious teenager laughing loud. So a little while later I see this lady in a wheelchair with a broken leg. She's got her sweater resting on one of the wheels and the person pushing her has her purse rubbing against it and I turn to derek and go "She's going to ruin her sweater and her purse like that" and Derek is like "BE NICE!" and I'm like "What the fuck?" and he's like "Don't make fun of them, they're a group of special people." and I'm like "what? i wasn't making fun, i was saying she is going to ruin her sweater and purse." So we cleared that up, but established that there was a group of mentally challenged kids in the Arcade. So whatever we play, take our pictures lalala, then we go to leave and this is where i get violated.
So we're walking around and I can feel someone walking right behind me, like touching me they are so close, so I turn and its the kid from earlier that was laughing so I duck in front of Derek and I'm like "I don't know you!" And Derek is like "waht the hell are you doing?" and turns and sees the kid. So we're like, wtf and keep walking THEN the kid grabs my hair and tries to smell it! So frankie pushes him and is like "Where is your teacher?" and the kid just gives Frankie this weird look, so I turn around to say lets go - and the kid walks closer, reaches out and tries to grab my boob. I smacked his hand really fast, screamed get away from me and just turned and ran and started crying. Seriously. I was like screaming for them to get him the fuck away from me and just freaking out. I don't know how many times I said "That fucking retard tried to touch my boob." Which is soooo mean to be yelling in public, but I was really, really disgusted and freaked out!
At the time I was so scared, violated, freaked out that I was just like "Let's go, Let's go." We got outside and I thought I was going to vomit, and we just left. Now that I thnk about it, I should have gone back in and found his keeper and told him/her what happened, but I dunno I just wanted to get the hell out of there...
Aside from that - we had a good day in the city.
