Would you count sniffing your neck as harassment/assult? Why?

1. Harassment, yes absolutely. It’s fucking weird. A face should not be close enough to my neck to sniff it without my permission.

   Edit: not assault because no physical contact (imo)

2. Probably trying to smell your hair….. hair sniffers are rampant out there

3. Yes I think it would be sexual harrassment because you would be invading my personal space for your own unwanted and uninvited sexual gratification.

   Plus there is a fucking Pandemic still active….keep your nose and mouth away from my body.

4. Absolutely it is. Its total creep behaviour and is inappropriate.

   I was assaulted on the street by a man who grabbed me as I was walking past by the back of my hair, pulled my head back and began sniffing me. I was 10 and another woman had to pry him off of me.

   Don’t give that kinda behaviour a pass. Its one thing if someone notices your perfume or shampoo and another if they’re being an obvious creep.

5. Harassment: any unwanted behavior, physical or verbal (or even suggested), that makes a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, humiliated, or mentally distressed.

   So, yeah.

7. Yup. That’s way too fucking close. Think, would they do that to a man? Of course not.

8. Yes, because you don’t have to physically touch someone for an action to be considered assault, same with aggravated assault. [Source](https://newmexicocriminallaw.com/do-you-have-to-touch-someone-to-be-charged-with-assault/)

9. That’s just creepy. But not an assault. An assault would require physical contact.

   It’s not better than a guy who sniffed a woman’s ass in a store. There is a video.

10. Yes.
