I was eating dinner with my wife at a cramped, casual restaurant in midtown Manhattan. We're at a table for 2 with staff constantly going by us on either side. I start to tell my wife a story. I raise my arms to gesture and at that moment a waitress (empty tray) comes up the aisle from behind and whap....my left backhand firmly into her right boob. Purely accidental. I start apologizing profusely, my wife is just shaking her head and rolling her eyes. Waitress says nothing, and just walks off a deep shade of red. Feedback please: 1. The wife says I made the situation more awkward by apologizing profusely (I think I said I'm sorry 3 or 4 times). I couldn't see ignoring it. WWYD? 2. From a gal's point of view - (and giving the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident) - how would you categorize this if you were the waitress? Embarrassing? Mildly annoying? Amusing? No big deal?
yeah, profuse apologizing seems a bit much. i would have given it an "oops, sorry" and left it at that.
Yeah, that probably made her more uncomfortable. She probably just wanted to get back to what she was doing before you punched her in the boob, but you made her stand there and listen to your nervous repeated apologies.
I think it was probably profusely apologizing that made her uncomfortable. If it were me, and a guy accidentally touched my boob like that and he just apologized once, I'd be a little embarrassed, but otherwise fine. If he apologized several times and drew attention to it, I'd probably be mortified. In this situation, you made it into a bigger deal than it was. Admittedly, I'd probably apologize profusely if I accidentally touched someone's bathing suit area. It's sort of a reflex, I guess.
Yes, it was definitely the apologies that made her uncomfortable; oops, sorry and done would have been the way to leave it.... though Taz also nailed it with offering to kiss it better. As a woman, no big deal, just amusing to see the wife's reaction
I would have made a joke !!!! Something like "hey bud, cop a good feel?". After the apologies, I would say it's no big deal. Fuck, it's only a boob.
i once did it to my mates mum, we were in a doorway and i put my hand out to gester to come through, nothing was said but i still feel guilty 20 years on
Once my friend was turning to get out of the door and this girl was getting in. The boob contact was firm and even though my friend apologised briefly, he could not help his naughty smile, she could not help her shy smile with downcast eyes, and I could not help my smile, after watching both reactions. (BTW, they became good friends later on) Anyway, My feedback- 1 Yes, your wife's right. You over-reacted 2 Gals point- mildly annoying (it should be)
Once my college friend was sitting on the edge of a table. It tipped forward and by reflex I reached out to keep her and the table from crashing. I totally palmed her all over her left boob. It was funny as hell.
How is it that all of you seem to have only ONE accidental boob contact story? I couldn't count how many times it's happened to me on both ends of it. I REALLY couldn't count because it's not even memorable to me. It's really not a big deal.
My eyes have made a huge amount of boob contact in my lifetime. Some were the size I prefer. Others I could only imagine what they were like unclothed.
I work two nights a week in busy times at a reasonably swish restaurant. Trust me, with restaurateurs pushing tables a close as possible to get more bums on seats, hands/arm contact with boobs is almost certainly going to happen most nights in some form. Either a customers or a waitress. A quick apology from the customer if he's a guy usually happens if he gets mine (they're actually probably quite a disappointment) whereas if its a woman or i brush a female customer, usually it goes unnoticed. I've never come across a case of a customer deliberately trying to touch either my boobs or bottom where i work, tho I'm sure it happens in the business.
