A Whole New Level of Awkwardness

The most disgusting thing about buses (That I've seen so far) are the people in it. Well the state of cleanliness that the people inside keep themselves. It sucks when you finally get a seat and some sweaty person comes and stand next to you, then holds the bar above you exposing you to their pungent armpit. The other day though, I wish that would've happened to me.

July 2013

After waiting maybe half the bus ride, the person I'd been hovering around finally got to their stop and I swooped in and got their seat. One of the great triumphs of the bus! Anyways someone new came to stand there and since there was no pole near where I was sitting, the natural thing to do would be to grab the bar above the seats that is there for that exact reason... But this guy had to be different, and weird, weird and creepy.

What this guy does is grab the back of my seat with one hand and the back of the seat in front of me with his other hand. Then he turns and stands in my direction. I was trapped, this guy had actually blocked any way of exit for me, and was standing guard over me it seemed. I have never and hopefully will never see anyone stand on the bus like that. To make matters worse his crotch was right around the level of my ear. I didn't actually look cause that would've made it even worse. My absolute worst fear came true when he moved out of the way so someone could get by and therefore pushed up against me. Yup, the guy grinded me... I felt violated.

Later on after the most uncomfortable I think I've ever been things got more awkward. At a stop not too far from mine I saw an old lady absolutely sprinting to catch the bus. Full out sprinting, I was impressed by the sight. Then though when she got on the bus she stood expectedly near me.I'm not a jackass, I let pregnant people and old people and such have my seat but I just saw this woman booking it down the street, she clearly is not who the priority sitting is for. I decided just to keep my seat for the last 5 minutes of the bus ride. I swear though I could feel every eye on that bus judging me. Strangely no one else felt obliged to give up their seat... stupid jerks.

Oh and a baby was crying the whole time
