Today, I was sitting at a bus stop and a guy stops in front of me and says "Oh very nice. How much?" I reply "You couldn't afford me." An old guy sitting next to me says "I bet I could" and puts his hand on my leg. I forfeited the bus and walked home in the rain. FML

Today, I was taking the bus home from work. As I was getting off an old man whistled at me, I told him to go to hell and got off the bus. When the bus drove away the old man stood in the back of the bus, holding up the wallet I left that he was trying to give to me. FML

Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML

Today, I said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML

Sucks to suck

Today, I was on the bus, when an elderly woman stepped in. She looked too weak to stand. She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, expecting me to give up my seat for her. I felt sorry and got up. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ha! Sucker!" FML

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

Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML

Today, getting off a bus, it was pouring rain so I got my umbrella out. A man elbowed me in the gut and grabbed it. When I told my mom about it she said, "That's New York, get over it." FML

Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML

Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. FML

Today, I missed my bus. I had to ride my bike 2 miles. Once I left, some jerk nearly hit me. I flipped him off and shouted obsceneties. It was my dad, offering me a ride. He left. FML

FYL because the original guy that you were a prostitute. YDI from the old man because of your response.

You actually admitted in public that you are buyable? Well, what was wrong then with the old guy? You didn't even hear his offer.

Personally, I'd still rather get on a public bus with those two than walk home alone and risk meeting someone worse.

I dont care how she was dressing. No one deserves to be groped by some pervy old guy while waiting for the bus. Or anywhere, for that matter

that was a dumb response. YDI for basically putting yourself in that position.

I woulda just answered 'Ask your mom, she charges the same price'. And to the old man, I'd tell him that I wasn't insured in case of heart attacks or strokes...

Well, I'm not going to say you were asking for it or anything, but there had to be a reason why the first guy's FIRST comment to you was referencing you looked like a prostitute. If you were dressed whorishly, then quit bitching, put on some clothes, and realise that if you dress like that, you are going to get comments. If you were dressed normally, then do what you are supposed to do in situations like that: don't respond and move away. Responding to people like that just eggs them on. Next time, either get a longer skirt or just don't say anything back. Tah dah!
