Today, I was riding the public bus and a really fat, smelly guy sat next to me. He put his arm around my shoulder and asked me if I was single. My stop wasn't for three more miles. FML

YDI for not making the first move. If you would have said "hey big boy, I bet you're sexy and jacked underneath all those rolls!" then he would have likely suffered a heart attack and died on the spot, therefore preventing everything.

1: It's about being on a "bus" 2: Waiting for a "stop" 3: "Invading personal space" (though her's didn't seem to mind). Sweet candy! It seems to go with this FML story perfectly.(: Sharing is caring. Do you have any ju- ju beans?

So you get off the bus at the next stop and wait 15 or 20 minutes for the next one. Or if you were in too much of a hurry to wait for the next bus to come along, move to a different spot..idiot.

that's attractive -_- shoulda changed ur seat

New to being in public? Creepers can and will be found anywhere and are to be ignored if possible. First off, tell him to take his arm off you. After that, if you're sitting, there is always somewhere else on the bus to be. If you're lucky, other seats will be available. If there isn't another empty seat, find somewhere to stand. Turn your back on him, if possible, so that he wont talk to you.

don't worry I hav had this happen to me to. an for the ppl with other solutions they don't really work. i have tried moving and he followed me. I tried telling him flat out and he still wouldn't leave me alone! so op I don't blame u. I sucks

If he follows you, move right up close to the driver. The driver should be able to kick him off the bus for harassment if he wont leave you alone.

move seats and well run if he stops at your busstop lol

move? lol, i'd rather stand even if my stop wasn't for another half hour than sit beside a smelly fat guy. :P

Stuff like this is why I took a self-defense course. It might help to know that in legal terms, this is assault. The appropriate reaction is full-on rage and to tell him, "Get the hell away from me!" Start pushing at him and do your best to get away. Sound loud, angry, and like you're a lot more trouble than it's worth to pester. The point also is to get other people to hear you and possibly call police -- nothing else, to be warned that there's a predator in their midst. Certainly, it's the bus driver's business to know. They have protocols and procedures to follow in cases like these.

#106 I would be creeped out if a guy did that to me, regardless whether he was fat or skinny, ugly or attractive. I wouldn't get an assault charge against him, but I would definitely not want someone to hit on me in such a strong way that I couldn't get out of without force.

#108 Exactly! Breaching the "personal bubble of space" with a stranger is inevitably creepy and unacceptable. It's not the fact that he was trying to flirt with her that's creepy, it's the fact that he touched her.
