On a throwaway just because some people know I reddit. I’m just really happy and I gotta rant about it. I guess I just didn’t expect them to be as cool about it as they were and it took me by surprise.

Every now and then we get together to play ultimate frisbee at midnight, it’s kinda a tradition. Well, this time, there was a guy there that everyone knew but he wasn’t invited. He just showed up. He’s known for being a bit of an ass, but we decided to play with him anyways. I don’t really know him personally, he’s been at a few events I’ve gone to but really that’s it. However, most of my guy friends have known him for years.

Anyways, I was the only girl at the game, as is usually the case whenever I hang out with them. Usually, my guy friends don’t really even notice. I’ve never felt weird being the only girl around them. This guy, however, took every opportunity he could to point it out. He guarded me the whole game (he really didn’t have to, I suck at frisbee) and was just messing with me the whole time. He’d tease me and call me names (which is kinda normal for this friend group so I laughed it off, but I wasn’t close to him and he took it to a whole new level. He WOULD NOT stop commenting on anything I did or said.)

A little bit into the game, he “fell” on me and grabbed my breast. I was too shocked to say anything at first, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Then it happened 2 more times. He would say things like “Oh boy, did I grab you there? Whoops, my bad, oh oops there I go again.” I shoved him off of me and sat out for a bit. I was fuming. I was kind of scared to bring it up to my friends, because like I said, they’ve never really pointed out that I was the only girl in the group. I really didn’t want to bring attention to that and make it awkward.

Eventually when a few other guys sat down to take a break, I brought it up. They were shocked. They said that he’s done creepy things in the past, but that was the last straw. Everyone went up to him and told him to go home. He tried to say things like “I was just joking, can’t you take a joke?” They all told him that jokes like that aren’t funny and that he needed to leave.

I felt bad about it at first because they’ve known him longer than they’ve known me, but they all told me they didn’t want him around if he was going to act like that. They assured me that he wasn’t going to be invited to any more of their events or anything. I guess I just really didn’t expect them to stand up for me, or I thought I would make things awkward by bringing it up but they really surprised me in the best way. I’m glad they’re my friends.
