I was on a big works do in town and we were were all stood in a group near the bar, just chatting and having a nice time, when a group of men behind us tapped me and a colleague on the shoulder and said something. We both just responded out of politeness, and turned back round to our group. As I felt the group moving past us to the other side of the bar, one of the men (who looked to be in his 30s) put his hand on my bum and groped me. I was so shocked and disgusted that I froze then I turned round and ran through the group to shove him and call him out for it but he just laughed and ran off with his friends (who were all also laughing & in their 30/40s). I felt so repulsed by it but also so so angry that a stranger felt that they had the right to touch my body in that way. I also felt so embarrassed that this had happened in front of a big group of colleagues, and more so that it was just brushed it off like “it happens” which made me feel like I had overreacted (which I definitely had not!).
