1. Ladies, and gentleman--does anyone EVER give "permission to be groped?"

Say, you stinky furtive-looking stranger, how's about you put your paws on me and rustle around until you perhaps find something to your liking?

What MORON ever--and I mean ever, ever, EVER--thinks that feeling around someone's corpus without some sort of understanding will EVER end well?

2. he thought she was too asleep to notice

he even offered to let her off without paying thinking she will not call police! haha

[Atman]

3. Yeah...I think by definition, "Groping" doesn't involve permission.

But gosh. It was clearly her fault for falling asleep in the cab. She was probably wearing a short skirt, too.



I hope I don't need this, but you can't be too careful on DU these days. >>

10. Elementary school level journalism

Referring to the suspect by his first name? What is this shit? I think we need MIRT on this pretty soon.

[TroyJackson]

16. whats wrong with that

what are we supposed to use their last names?

20. It was an oblique way of referring to mythical beings under bridges.

8. Impossible, only Uber drivers act this way. Cab drivers are demigods.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

9. Yeah.

This story would have gotten a lot more attention and recs if it had been from Uber.

[TroyJackson]

15. nope it was a taxi driver

uber drivers can also sexually assault others

[John Poet]

18. Uber drivers can do it without a background check,

while randomly shooting people in-between gropes!

[TroyJackson]

19. uber drivers are known for sexually harassing women

11. Did this brain surgeon really think this would end well?

[TroyJackson]

13. yes he did

he thought she was asleep and would never find out

[Warren DeMontague]

12. I thought all Taxi Drivers were highly trained and well-vetted professionals, whereas only Uber

drivers were potentially dangerous maniacs.


I know it must be true, because I read it on DU.

[TroyJackson]

14. good point

i agree
