A safe call can assist in your going with your instincts if you either aren't totally sure or don't have the confidence to walk out. I know if does/did for me.

If some guy's giving me the creeps, someone I don't know from Adam and to whom I owe nothing, I don't need an excuse to get up and go. I just get up and go.

And if he was really creeping me out, and I was afraid for my safety, I'd stop a waiter, explain what was going on, and ask if they could see me to my car. Or, you know, stand up in the restaurant and explain in a loud voice what was going on and find someone to see me to my car, or ask them to keep an eye on the bloke while I went.

For me, that would be far preferable to having a mate on the end of a phone, who may alert the police to the fact my body's lying cold in a car park.

That's your approach. Are you really sure that if you came down to it you would kick up that much fuss just because someone is "a bit creepy" though?

Well, as I actually said, I would absolutely kick up a fuss if I was afraid for my safety.

I think the thing with the "safe call" threads is, they're important and a great backup for some people, other people don't want or need them. And that's all good.

What tends to rile me is when people say things like, "You must have one". There are no rules. Explain them, tell people what they might gain from one... but as others have said, and as I think you know, they're not perfect, or a complete guarantee, and I'd hate people to think they're a substitute for being a sensible, self-sufficient adult.

And also, in a weird way, I hate the assumption they bring along with them that everyone out there is a bad person, just waiting to spike your drink. But that's just me, preferring to look on the bright (and statistically accurate) side.

Where did the bathroom pirate come from?

I agree. I wish there was a 'crap shag alert' call though- that could have saved me some rather unpleasant experiences!

'Pervert'? She can't even spell it!
