Man on bus kept distracting me

Post Reply New Topic

This morning:
I was on the bus and happened to be reading a book which I was very much into when they guy sitting next to me started to get my attention by asking what the book was about. So I shared it with him and he looked interested and I proceeded to tell him before letting him know that I wanted to get back to reading. Then the book ended up having some funny things in it and started laughing and he proceeded to tap me again and talk about how I can "Howl all I want because a book does that to someone." So I let him know again that I was trying to read and laughed some more. So he proceeded to scoot himself a little too close in which I said, "Don't do that." He said, "I want to know what your book is talking about that you find so funny." I got up and said, "Sir, you're distracting me."

I think you handled yourself well.

Pervy Dude.

I thought it was very strange that someone would keep distracting me like that when I am trying to read and especially after telling him more than once that I am trying to read. Then when he scooted extremely close to read over my shoulder like that to see what's in the book was when it became a red flag. I get it that I am reading a book that's of interest to him and perhaps he likes reading too but if he's that interested, he's got his own money and perhaps needs to get his own copy.

I honestly should not have to move

He was hitting on you. I'm surprised that you didn't see it that way.

But anyway, the way you handled it was fine.

Lol, no I could not read those because they were pretty subtle. However, perhaps he's attractive to women who read and are brainy which I admire though I was not interested in him. I would rather recommend the book to him over date him.

It's my experience taking the bus that some people who ride the bus are not mentally all there. Maybe that guy has some issues.
