today on the bus...
omg, my hairs are standing just thinking about it.
went to collect my o level cert today. took the bus to compass, and on the stop after the one i boarded, this bald indian guy boarded. he walked all the way to the back of the bus, and then he walked back and sat next to me. i was on the left, he on the right.
i was sitting on the second seat from the front. on the inside, so i couldn't really make a convenient escape if i wanted to.
at first it was ok,
but craps,
he began to sit closer and closer.
at first i just thought i was being too sensitive, that he was just trying to find a comfortable spot and accidentally brushed against me.
but freak.
he started began moving closer - laterally.
squeezing me in my seat. his arms and thighs squashed against mine, and his elbow was poking the side of my stomach.
and he rested his hand on the side of my thigh.
*SCREAMS*
but wait.
it gets worse.
he began reaching into his left pocket.
which meant that his arm would brush against certain parts of me.
i was so scared.
i almost started crying.
wanted to call martin and say, "hello? MARTIN ar?" hoping he might back off,
but screws,
my phone batt was as dead as a piece of roasted chicken.
was so tempted to yell at the guy.
and he kept moving closer. and his hand got freakingly familiar with my thigh.
kept telling myself, a few more stops, a few more stops.
kept praying he would get off the cursed bus.
but he didn't.
and finally when i could take it no longer
i shifted and squashed myself against the window.
i didn't move earlier as i didn't want to kick up a fuss over something that could possibly just be my imagination.
but it got to a point where i was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. even the primary school boy sitting across from me was staring at me like,
"i think i know whats going on and get out of there."
and i gave him a "help me" look.
but whoopie,
the idiot moved in again. and kept reaching into his pocket. i put my arm up in a very unnatural way to block whatever.
OMG.
one stop before mine, i couldn't take it. and i got up.
i wanted to go the interchange, but i dropped opposite it and waited for the bus from there.
eff him.
i kinda got over it once i reached school, but i'm still traumatised.
eff him. m i just overreacting? does this happen to girls very often?
freak.
whatever happened to a woman's rights?
oh wait. i forgot.
some men are just jerks.
