Recently, I went back to my hometown for a wedding and at the wedding, I was leaning over because I couldn't hear what a guy friend was saying and accidentally slipped my hand on the chair he was sitting on and it landed under his butt. I apologized and said sorry and we laughed about it.
The thing is, a group of us decided to meet up at a bar later and my husband was nice enough to watch our kids back in the hotel while I went out with my friends. Well, I can't believe it, but I did the same thing to another guy friend!!! I don't drink so I wasn't drunk or anything. Again, it was a situation where I couldn't hear that guy because the bar was loud and crowded and other people were very close so I reached to balance myself on the stool he was sitting on and there wasn't much space so my hand accidentally touched his butt. Only that this time, I was so embarrassed, I forgot to apologized. The guy laughed about it and lots of people were talking so I pretended nothing happened.
Well, we were supposed to meet up the next day again with family at a restaurant because people who weren't at the wedding wanted to meet my husband and kids. This guy said he wanted to come but he didn't show up. We flew back home the next day so I didn't get to talk to him.
Should I send him an email to apologize about accidentally touching his butt or should I just assume that he had a good reason why he didn't show up and let it go?
I feel so much better hearing from all of you. I was just so embarrassed by the fact that it happened twice to 2 different people. What was wrong with me? I'm relieved that it's ok to let it go because I'm so embarrassed and don't want to bring it up again. I don't see these people often and may not even see them again. Just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. Thanks!
$10 says you are the only one still thinking about this...let it go. Drawing attention to what happenned with an apology IMO makes it look like you either did it intentionally or enjoyed the "accident" enough to bring it up again. I doubt he has thought about it since, but he will if you bring it back up.
Forget it, silly things like this happen all the time. Don't beat a dead horse. It's done and over with and chances are, he's already forgotten it as well!
If this is not someone you see frequently, then I would drop it. I'm pretty sure he's not living his life traumatized by this.
Forget about it...I am sure that neither of the men even gave it a 2nd thought!! As to why the man didn't come to the breakfast get together...you weren't the only other person there so it probably had NOTHING to do with you. If you email these gentlemen and "apologize" you are going to make them think there was more to this accident than there really was. Don't give it another thought!!
.
let it go.....not worth mentioning! these things happen. i doubt he thought about it again.
Oh my gosh, no do not send this person an email. For goodness sake, you might never see him again, or at least for several years. Accidents happen, leave it at that. Contacting him might lead him to believe it was your way to start communicating with him. Leave it be and move on.
let it go dodo occurs and it probably means more to you than him he probably has forgotten about it by now. he probably had a good reason for not showing up and i dont think it is cause you "sexually harassed " him :) jk
That's funny! Let it go and forget about it ... I'm sure he already has, too :+)
non issue, I would not bring it up again. Bringing it up would mean YOU want to go to another level. Put it in check. Why would you want to talk about touching his butt again?
Let it go!!! It was an accident and I am sure he knew it. No worries.
I don't think it is even a little deal, let alone a big deal! Just forget about it. As long as you didn't grab on and squeeze, it is all good. Maybe he was hungover or had other plans he had forgot about. Move on, I'm sure all is fine! :)
I think you are making too much of it.
Forget it. And go get a hearing test to see if you are losing peripheral hearing.
Just try to laugh about it and let it go!
I got one for you, I was at my son's school auction and was "running" the silent auction items to the various tables. With one, I leaned in and joked with the wife of a couple who won quite a few items. She had made a comment on a previous delivery and I wanted to check in with her before giving the next item to them. Well, as I leaned in, the big bottle champagne slipped a bit and in my haste to get a better hold, I grazed her breast. I didn't even say anything, I was sooooo embarrassed. I just gave them the bottle and high-tailed it away.
