So, the strangest thing happened to me at the club the other night, and I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should feel irritated by it.
It was Leather and Lace night at the local goth club, and though I was propperly dressed for the occassion in a long broomstick skirt, coin belt, and fishnet shirt over black bra, I was, by comparison, rather more conservatively dressed than many. So there I was, standing at the bar and talking to my hairdresser, when I felt someone attempting to hike up my skirt. I was a bit outraged, and looked down to see a blond guy kneeling on the floor next to me, moving my skirt around and looking at... the floor... I was still nonplussed that he would move my garments around without asking, but thought that maybe he had lost something important like a contact and just wasn't paying attention to who/what he might be touching.
"Did you lose something?" I asked him.
"No. I just wanted to see what your feet looked like," he said.
...
...
He vanished before I could really compute enough of his statement to be offended or weirded out, but now I'm rather hacked off. Had he stayed, I'm still trying to decide what would have been the appropriate reaction.
So for your voting pleasure, a poll:
[Poll #902879]

Personally, I'd equate it with a stranger grabbing my bottom in a crowd as I walked by.. worth a slap if I caught them, slightly offended at their rudeness, but otherwise just annoyed which could be cured with another drink ;)

It IS a fetish night. The suspension/piercing people were up on stage, doing their thing... But I should like to note here that THEY were at least getting permission to do what they were doing... Can you imagine if they just ran up and pierced people at random without asking?
"I just gave you a belly ring! Doesn't it look great!?"

Oh my! Perhaps I AM a bitch...
Bottom line - it is NOT OK for a stranger to touch you w/ out asking....and if they do, they deserve whatever pummeling you feel inclined to give. And a healthy dose of loud public embarrassment, too, to help reinforce the lesson.

Now I have some follow up questions:
1) Did you tell Zig and how did he react?
2) Was Weird Guy properly impressed with your Toes of Hotness?
I had a married guy kiss my feet once. I think he was in love with my nail polish.
