So tonight I got off work on time instead of working late. Caught a rush-hour (read crowded) train. At the last minute a guy comes up and asks if someone is sitting in the empty seat next to me.
Of course not, I hate seat hoggers and wave him in, even shifting as far over as I could as he was a big guy.
The car filled up and the train left the station.
Then the guy started shifting in his seat, then he started moving his leg over, and then he started rubbing his leg up against mine.
WTF!!!
Now I'm sitting in the "quiet car" but that didn't stop me from saying very loudly "EXCUSE ME SIR, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR LEG!!!"
He instantly mumbled sorry and shifted his legs and bag like the bag was what caused the leg movement. He got several dirty stares from other passengers and got up and left the car at the next stop.
Now I'm wondering how often this creep has pulled this crap and how often he gets called out on it.
I need a shower.
GRRRR!!!!

There's some real odd ducks on the bus, too. Sorry you met one of the creeps, Captain.  |

Ugh. I went out dancing with my GF's for the first time in years and remembered why I stopped. There are some nasty people out there.

I agree. Yuck. This guy showed me his peen last year on the train. I was not impressed. This has happened to me a few times, and I always think of something cool to say after they have run away.  |

Ewwwwww!! Why do some guys feel they can do this? They must get away with it often enough that they're willing to try it again. I had the same thing happen to me on a crowded NYC bus when I was younger. I immediately got up, stomped the guy's foot with my high-heeled pumps as I slid past him (to the point where he jumped and yelped loudly), turned and gave him my best shit-eating grin and mumbled "oops, sorry."  |

Blargh! The worst! I had some guy sit next to me on the train and as soon as we pulled away from the station he put his hand down his pants and started jacking. I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything, I just jumped over him and sat elsewhere. He got up and sat next to some sassy old lady and did the same thing, and she gave him such an earful! I was in awe.

I wish we had trains here.   We get those kind of characters at laundry mats. Thank God I've not needed one of those since I was a teenager. But then again you may get your throat slit these days instead of a perv - depending on the area. |

Sorry it happened to you. I've had to deal with just about everything under the sun. It is like the pervs think there is a sign above our heads that says "Pick Us!".
I told one massage therapist that if I saw anything sticking out, I'd yell "SNAKE!", and kill it.
Yes, I am a guy. I've gotten it from nasty women too. "Do you mind if I throw up on your fantasy?".

I'm so glad you called him out!  I'm not sure if this is considered creepy behavior, but a few years ago i was traveling home alone on the BART close to midnight after going on a date. The train was pretty empty, except for this short guy with beady eyes sitting about 20 feet from me next to the closest train doors. I saw him scribbling something but I wasn't exactly paying attention to him. As I got up to exit the train, he tapped me on the shoulder and handed me this piece of paper. He wrote he thought I was real pretty and wanted me to go on a date with him with his number. And after that he wrote some creepy things he wanted to do to me. I immediately tossed it in the trash as I got off the platform. And then went home and took a long shower. And I never rode the BART that late alone ever again. |

Ladies, you need to carry! At least a can of Lysol. Spray vigorously!

Thanks for all the comments (esp the humerous ones!). By the time I got home last night and showered in bleach I felt much better.
I'm laughing about it now and TOTALLY want to be that sassy old lady when I grow up!

My sister has done that - spray someone with that little Lysol aerosol can you can keep in your purse - but I'm not sure I could do that without laughing. And I don't like to waste the Lysol, might have to stop in a public restroom on the way home, ya know. |

See here's the thing - crowded train - How do I prove it was intentional? It's my word against his. I figured public humiliation was quicker and cheaper ;D
As far as the can of Lysol, no can do - it would trigger an asthma attack. Not worth it.

Well, even if it wasn't intentional, he'll be sure to stay in his "own space" in the future. So, either way, you taught him a good lesson. ;D <<<<petite woman who is sick and tired of people spreading into my seat space... |

Ew, man. Creeps. I'm waiting for the day something like this happens in front of me so I can knock a douchebag out  I took the train and bus to college for my first 2 years and am surprised nothing like this happened! Plenty of creeps though. So sketchy. The closer you get to Boston the worse they become. |

Several years ago I was on a business trip in Europe with 4 other women. We got on a train where there were 3 seats facing 3 seats,, and I was in the middle with an open seat across from me. The train got full and an old creepy guy sat across from me. It was a long trip and I and several of my friends doaed off. The guy across from me put his foot between my legs without touching me. One of my friends saw this but didn't know what to do. She was afraid to awaken me because she thought I might move into his foot. I noticed it when I woke up and he moved his foot. EEEWWWWW!!!! We didn't speak the language, but were really creeped out by it.

Informing the driver and having the police waiting at the next stop is more reasonable. Yeah but this is exactly how they get away with it. What are you going to tell people when it's leg-on-leg? "Umm we were sitting next to each other in a crowded place and his leg touched mine, can we alert the police please?" You think anyone is going to take action on that? |

Several years ago when I first moved to this city, I booked a massage at one of the chains down here. I had a male masseur who apparently was, ahem, excited to be massaging a cute 22 year old. Toward the end of the session, I felt him rub his erection on my foot. I was too young and freaked out to stand up for myself. If it happened now, I'd make a huge scene. |
