New year resolution? I think I should stop doing this. I have been making resolutions for past ten years but I barely worked on them. This year; no resolutions no plannings!

At how a friend was treated whilst training in the gym!
Thankfully the gym are intending to deal with the person involved.
Still!

Whilst squatting at the gym a random ******** came over, told her she was doing it wrong, placed his hands on her body whilst she was mid exercise saying he was "helping her form", then lifted the bar off her & told her to go "move along" because she wasn't doing it right!
My friend has complained & the gym are currently trying to find him to tell him he's not allowed back!

This guy comes out of nowhere and grabs my arm and says not menacing but desperate, I have no money, no gas and electric, can I borrow some money. I just started stuttering I had none left, which I don't in my purse anyhow. He starts shaking my arm and pulled me and said you have to I have nothing. Anyway luckily this other guy just comes running up (fairly busy street) arnd says come on mate and pulls him off, and says to the guy what are you doing. Then says to me are you ok, the guy who grabbed me starts crying and saying Im sorry, really I just have no money left, then justs sort of walks off really fast back towards the shop. This other guy offered to walk me home but I was nearly there, I just said Thank you, and then he walked off. Over just like that. Sorry about lack of punctation.

Although this may be good advice in general, in the UK it's illegal, so She-ra would be liable for prosecution and possible incarceration.
We do have alternatives, but they're about as effective as tickling him with a feather...
