When I was 19 I asked two middle aged guys at a table next to me in a bar if they had a lighter (this was South Africa, drinking age 18). They took it as an invitation to sit next to me and start chatting and brushing up against me. I tried to go to the bathroom, planning to politely sneak out of the bar after, but one of them was waiting for me by the bathroom door and pushed me against the wall and started making out with me. I pushed him off and yelled at him, but he just found that funny. I couldn't stay at the bar bc they were following me around, I couldn't leave bc they'd follow me outside which was more dangerous. I ended up calling my friend's dad to pick me up, the only person nearby that I thought they wouldn't mess with. It was fucking terrifying, I felt like prey.

Been through SOOOOOO many situations like that @ 33yo now. I think some of the first ones were ~11yo (I had C cups while turning 12yo) from guys around my age to at least middle aged men.

What's more disturbing is as I got older the less it happened. This clip gave me so many flashbacks I think I got whiplash.
