Today, I saw a little old lady trying to cross the street. I went over and tried to help her. Turned out she was actually just a really short young woman. As soon as I took her arm, she screamed in front of everyone and accused me of trying to molest her. FML

Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML

Today, I began to walk across the street when I saw a very familiar old lady struggle across it. I walked over to help her, and only after she had blown her rape whistle and socked me in the nuts did she realize I was her grandson. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML

Today, I bumped into a lady, apologised and tried to continue on. She screamed assault and tried to citizen's arrest me. I've got better things to do, so I ignored her but she latched onto my leg like a toddler. I ended up dragging this insane woman up the street until she finally let go. FML

Today, I was in a shopping centre when a little girl was running up and down the aisles. She started to fall over so I put my hand out to catch her. Her mother then ran up to me and screamed about me 'touching her child' so loud that everyone could hear. FML

Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

I think you were suppose to ask her if she needs help first.

Why would you grab her arm without asking her first?

from behind they had a bundle of clothes on (its winter) so he assumed small lady means old, because a lot of older ladies tend to be small and fragile looking. and maybe she was walking slow. obviously it should have been more looked into, though

Why wouldn't you ask her if she needed help first before you grabbed her? YDI

Op, you 'offer' your arm. You can't just go around grabbing people. YDI

Honestly? I think you deserve it a bit. You should NEVER try to grab people without their permission. You didn't even ask if she needed help, you just went right in without permission. If I was walking and some strange man came up to me and grabbed my arm, I'd freak out too.

Wow, I know I'm just repeating with many other people have mentioned in the comments, but you can't just go and grab a stranger's arm without their consent, even if it was a little old lady. YDI, sorry.

Although the gesture was intended to be nice, it probably would have been beneficial for you to ask if she needed help. But she needs a definition check on "molest"

I was once maneuvering two shopping carts - one full of food and one with my month-old baby in it. Some strange woman grabbed the cart with my baby and TOLD me that I needed help. I was NOT appreciative.

I just gave her a cold look while pulling my baby toward me and said "no thank you." I guess I should have said "let go of my baby" but I think my body language said it for me.

How exactly does a touch on the arm equal molesting and sexual assault? Sorry, I'm confused here.

if you put your arm under her upper arm you could accidentily touch her breast on the way out. or she thought he was holding onto her so her could THEN do bad stuff. either way your mind goes to bad places when your randonly grabbed...
