Today, I was reading a newspaper at a bus stop when a creepy guy rested his chin on my shoulder and said, "I miss the good old days, when people would read newspapers together and it wasn't classed as weird." He then walked off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on the London underground reading a newspaper. A huge guy was sitting next to me and there weren't many other people around. As I turned a page, he leaned into me, glaring, and said, "I'm not finished yet". At the next stop I put down the paper and jumped off. It wasn't even my stop. FML
Today, while riding the bus, a creepy guy gave me the "rape glare" and another guy repeated every word to the conversation I was having with my friend under his breath. FML
Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. 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 saw a cute guy at the coffee shop reading a book. Wanting to be friendly, I smiled as I approached and asked what he was reading. He returned the smile and said, "Minding your damn business, by Fuck Off." FML
Today, while reading "1984" on the train, a cute guy around my age and I got into a great a discussion about the book. Just when I thought he might ask for my number, he got up, patted me on the head and said it's so nice that kids my age still took interest in real literature. I'm 25. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus next to a hot guy who was texting. I sneaked a peek at his phone to see if he was texting a girl so I could know if he was single. As I looked at his screen, he turned it towards me and typed in caps "STOP BEING A CREEPER." He got out of his seat and off the bus. FML
Today, a creep called me out in the street and asked me why I was in that part of that street, because he "knows " I live in another part of the street, and he found it "odd" that I was there. He was smiling all that time too. FML
Today, I was taking the bus home from work. As I was getting off an old man whistled at me, I told him to go to hell and got off the bus. When the bus drove away the old man stood in the back of the bus, holding up the wallet I left that he was trying to give to me. FML
Today, I was in the middle of enjoying a really good book while in a waiting room. Someone saw what I was reading and thought it would be cool if she leaned over and told me everything that happens. FML

Newspapers attract weirdos, smartphones attract thieves... That does it, we're all gonna have to start carrying stone tablets from now on.

But those attract cavemen. Trust me when I say it's not as fun as it sounds.

I'd have creeped him right back. Make him sit on my lap and turn the pages for him. I'd do it in a Stewie Griffin voice. "You're not done yet? Oh you are? Wanna read the funnies now? hm? Wanna read a little bit of funnies? Let's turn to the funnies."

Was this an older man? It seems creeper if this was an older office gentlemen wearing a suit and spectacles. I guess that's just me picturing this though. I'm sorry if that creeped you out by the way :/ !

Ah yes. The good old days, when it was socially acceptable to lean your chin on a stranger's shoulder and accept that you're not thoroughly creepy. That was back in Nineteen NEVERty-Two, right?

What old days is he speaking of. I've never learned this from my parents or history.. Something's fishy.... Hmmm....hmmm

I dunno, I find that somewhat nice and cheerful, if someone asked if they would read with me, I'd be like 'just let me know if I flick the page to early'. People spend far too much time by themselves, too worried about 'needing time alone'.

Thats not even a big deal. You are just making it one. Maybe he was putting his head on your shoulder to read something real quick

At least he walked away, OP.
