About 15 minutes after we left the drive, my husband and BIL had taken the kids to use the bathroom, we were over on the other side of the festival, and my sister starts feeling really dizzy. This happened to me one time before when I donated, so I had her lay down on a bench and put her feet up and told my grandmother to sit with her while I go get her some juice.

I'm waiting in line about 20 feet away and I hear my grandmother yelling, so I look over and this man in a big king costume, like a mascot costume, was sitting on my sister, like on her lap and stomach. I ran over and told him to get off of her. I said "did you not see her or something?" and he tried to laugh it off and said "I was just joking around, she shouldn't lay there if she doesn't want to get sat on. Too much to drink?" I told him no, she just donated blood and was about to faint. He awkwardly said "uh, sorry", like in a snarky way, and walked away.

I gave her some juice and walked her back over to the blood drive to lay down and after a few minutes she felt better, but was still really upset. She said she was really close to passing out, like everything was fuzzy, and all of a sudden there was this weight on her lap holding her down. She wanted to yell and push him off, but she was so out of it at that point that she couldn't do anything. My sister has PTSD after an assault and having someone hold her down and having contact with her pelvic region is very traumatic for her. My grandmother doesn't speak a lot of english, so she was also upset that she couldn't find the words to tell him to get off.

Our husbands and the kids came and found us and after a little bit my sister was feeling much better and we had a good time. At the end they have a parade and everyone walks with their group. The guy in the costume turned out to be a part of the group that runs the festival. My sister wants to contact them to share what happened and ask that they speak to their group about appropriate behavior in the future. Like, you don't just sit on a stranger to try to be funny. You don't know why they are laying like that or if they are okay with being touched.
No. The dude had no clue about your sister's situation and moved as soon as it was explained. He meant it in good fun, stop being a whiny little three-year-old and let it go already. Good grief.

When he said “uh, sorry”, could you be confusing snarky with embarrassed?
