Love and Transportation: Today, despite the carriage being entirely empty, a large man...

Today, despite the carriage being entirely empty, a large man chose to sit right beside me on the train. After making me uncomfortable with personal questions, he asked if we could be friends and hang out, both of which I shyly declined. He then accused me of being a racist. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, a man sat next to me on a train carriage, despite various empty seats. During a weird conversation, I told him that I'm on my way back from London after seeing a friend from Germany there. He goes on to talk about Nazis and, with one arm in the air, asks me if he's doing the salute right. FML

Today, a total stranger on the bus called me hideous and threw a soda in my face. I only asked him if the seat next to him was taken. FML

Today, there was a pretty girl sitting near me on the train home. I thought about asking for her number., but instead a drunk nitwit decided to wander around the car and came very close to touching her. She got up and moved to the other end, while I had to deal with a belligerent hobo who was now intent on fighting me. FML

Today, on the train, a man kept grabbing my crotch. When I told him to stop, I got yelled at for harassing an elderly man. FML

Today, on the subway, a little tipsy, I sat down next to a guy I thought was cute, hoping to enjoy some harmless flirting. I said, "Hello." He said, "May I ask you a question?" I said, "Sure." He said, "Can you please move away from me?" 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, I went on a busy train. I packed myself in close to a very good looking woman and, too scared to say anything, looked out the window. After feeling a hand on my ass, I assumed it was her. To not ruin the moment, I didn't look back. After a few stops, I looked back. It was an old man. FML

Today, on the train, I was sitting next to a homeless man. As we left the train he shook my hand and was seemingly on his way. That was until he caught me greeting my boyfriend, to which he decided to tell the romantic story of how he murdered a man for "getting too close to his woman." FML

Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

Unflattered

Today, I was at the airport walking around, killing time. There was a man about twenty years older than me who kept on eyeballing me, and it really wasn't flattering. I get on the plane and guess who I get to sit next to. FML

He’s probably crazy and if u said yes to make him feel better he’ll probably follow u off the train. Who cares what he thinks. We know ur not a racist

How can several people ask if you're OK if you're the "ONLY one on the bus"

Haven’t you heard? Now that America is getting great again, it’s OK to be racist. Except don’t use that word — the cool kids say “nationalist”these days.

Are you saying that if a White Girl won't date a Negro that makes her a Racist? You are a Retarded Asshat.

Be reassured, this has nothing to do with racism or being socially awkward. He didn't have to ask those questions and when you refused to be his "friend" he needed to blame you or make you feel guilty so maybe you would accept to prove him wrong.

Some people have a hard time accepting rejection. You did the right thing. Don't lose any sleep over that situation, they clearly had a screw loose.

Well, it's just as well you didn't go out with him. If his behavior was that abusive to start it would only get worse.

Are you a whiny little man child who thinks that she should have entertained this Racist Douchebag?

You're lucky! Many women are raped, beaten or killed after being called a racist.

Hey Girl, You are not at fault here. You did what you were comfortable doing. Don't be guilted into befriending be someone who would do this to you. They prey on your kindness.
