Today, in an effort to make new friends in my history class, I sat in the empty seat next to a friendly-looking guy. He got up, walked away, and sat down in a different seat. FML

Today, I decided to make new friends, so I sat with the lonely guy at lunch. Now he keeps following me, with his phone in a camera position. FML

Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML

It wasn't a prank, I swear

Today, I asked my friend to come sit next to me in class. I pulled out the chair next to me. Coincidentally, she started to sit at that same moment. Now both she and my teacher are convinced I did it on purpose, and they want to have a talk with my parents. FML

Give me a break!!

Today, in an effort to avoid having the same break as my annoying coworker, I went a little earlier than I usually do. Guess who got moved to a position with an early break? She sat next to me. FML

Today, I went to my class as usual. I've had my eyes on one guy for a year now. A new girl came in and he was talking about her with his friends when my friend suggested me instead of her. He took a glance at me before turning back into the conversation making the same face I did when I saw a disintegrated frog that'd been run over. FML

Today, I was sitting next to this cute guy on an airplane who I had started talking to. There was still an empty seat between us and it seemed like there weren't any more passengers boarding the plane. I then asked out loud, "I wonder if anyone will sit between us?" He replied "I hope so." FML

Today, I went to a conference for work. When I got there I sat beside a woman about my age. She immediately got up and moved to the opposite side of the room. We were the only two there. FML

Professor Awkward

By Derpina - 21/12/2011 15:33 - United States

Today, a student came in late to class, and there were only a couple of seats available. I waved her over offering her the seat beside me with the quip, "It's OK, you can sit by me. I don't smell or anything." I realized after she sat down that she actually did. FML

Today, we got new seats in class today. The guy placed next to me, turned, looked me dead in the eye, and said, "The balls are the warmest place on the body" while his hands were in his pants. I'm stuck next to him for the rest of the semester. FML

Today, I went to a school football game alone. I sat next to these hot girls. To seem cool, I picked up my phone and had a fake conversation with the coolest guy in the grade. Halfway through, he came over and talked to the girls. FML

What an ass. Clearly, looks can be deceiving. Next time go sit next to the pitbull-looking guy.

Follow him and be a creeper, but make it look really obvious. When he starts talking to you, spaz out and act like a weirdo. But FYL, wait a bit and people will start talking to to you.

maybe he's just uncomfortable with new people! I know I am.... Schools almost over and I don't talk to anyone in my maths or lit classes just because I'm very.... sociaphobic or something like that. I just plain don't like meeting new people when I'm by myself. It sorta.. terrifies me. (I apologise for any spelling mistakes)

If there are plenty of other empty seats and you sit down right next to someone (or someone sits down next to you), it'd seem creepy to most people. IDK, maybe it's just me, but I don't think that you can make friends very quickly by creeping them out and making them feel uncomfortable, haha. If there weren't that many seats open, then it makes more sense and doesn't seem creepy. From what it sounds like, if the guy was easily able to go find a new seat, I doubt it was that kind of situation. Thus... the OP was clearlyyyy in creeper-mode. :)

If there were more obvious open spaced seats available then I would have probably moved too. Nothing creeps me out more in a class then when some stranger sits right next to me with plenty of other seats open. Unless it was one of a few seats left then YDI for being a creeper.

Yeah... that is pretty sad. Maybe he was saving a seat for his friend. and rather then tell you to move, he got up... On the other hand, "nice looking" don't judge a book by its cover.
