This is a minor speedbump in my development. I get that I'm supposed to be touchy feely and all that jazz with folks, but I end up fowling myself up because I'm worried that there is a possibility of it being considered assault and battery, even though there is no intent of harm.

There is a story behind this fear: One night out after drinking for the sake of drinking I'm riding the bus home and end up saying obnoxious stuff to a group of girls. Everyone besides them thought it was hilarious. I tap the girl across from me on the side of the leg to get her attention and ask her something. She was with the girls I was being an ass to. One of the offended girls, not the one I tapped, informs me that I just committed assault and that she was calling the police. I left at the next stop wordlessly and walked a long walk home.

I'm aware I did a bunch of stupid shit there. Mea culpa. My key concern is whether the idea of being charged with assault and battery for initiating kino early on a legitamite concern, or am I getting worried over nothing?
