Bus creep and a poll
I commute by coach buses to the city for work. Every trip takes about an hour, and during this time you normally get to sit super close to another commuter. Normally it's ok because both of you either read, or play on your cell phones.
Yesterday, I left my phone at home, and was also done with my book. I sat next to a dude I have never seen (outsider, traveling to see his daughter for Christmas).
We started talking, and he was obviously attracted by me. He kept sneaking in little compliments like: you don't look like you like Guiness (when we talked about the football game and favorite beer). He was sneaking peeks at my chest too (not too much to see there, but I guess when you're divorced and 45, a 30 year old flat chest is attractive. It was dark on the bus and I was ignoring it.
The chat was nice until one moment when he grabbed my hair and pulled it out from behind my back. He touched my neck while doing it, and he said: Wow, your hair is so long and soft. Really beautiful!!!
I was so shocked, I did not know what to say... literally, I froze, and just said: thank you?
So now, a little fun poll, because it's not the first time a creep made a creepy comment to me on my commuter bus. Which one is creepier:

Re: Bus creep and a poll
Wow - That's super creepy! I hope you didn't have to sit by him long after he did that.
I chose the hair choice above, but only because he touched you. However, they are all creepy. Sorry you had to go through this!
It happened minutes before I was getting off, so after he did that, and I said awkwardly Thank you, I stood up and put my coat on.
The creepy thing is, he was getting off on the next stop in our town, his daughter lives right by the Shop Rite where we shop so there is a slim chance I will see him by accident... hope not!!!
BTW - I talked a little about my husband, so you'd think he would keep distance.

Augh! I picked the first option because physical contact is extra creepy.
I commute by bus as well and have dealt with my fair share of creepers as well,. Usually they go away quickly because I'm not very nice about unwanted attention from strangers.

OMG EWWW!!!
I'm so glad I have a car. That's creep-tastic
