Why do some people need to butt in? Seriously, why can't you just sit on your ass and mind your own fucking business?
I was sitting on the bus, minding my own business, as per the unwritten guidelines of public transport, just looking out the window. And some random dude (he wasn't even cute!) starts waving his hand right in my face. I turn to him because I really wanted him to stop doing that and he's like, 'why do you have this' (points to my shoulder tattoo). And I was like I don't know...
"But you're so beautiful, why do you have that?"
It's a tattoo. Thankfully, he left me alone after this rather obvious answer. Maybe he'd never seen one before. Fucking creeps everywhere. Why can't people just mind their own shit? I mean, I don't go up to strangers and go "why do you have a beard" or "why did you wear that shirt today".
I mean, I get wanting to engage with me somehow or trying to chat to a girl. I get it. But come on, have an ounce of class, will ya? I mean, what kind of hopes do you have from a question like that?
And what does it even mean....you're beautiful, so you shouldn't have tattoos? I love my tattoos and as I wrote in a previous post, feel no inclination whatsoever to explain or defend them. You don't like them, you can just....not look at them. Shocker, I know.
Not my weirdest bus encounter, though. There was this drunk guy once whom I squeezed past to get to a seat and my bag sorta hit him so I apologized and then he came all the way to the back of the bus to ask if I'd said I wanted to punch him in the face. Given his state, I was a bit scared, but I said 'no' and he was like 'oh, okay then' and went on his way. Weird af.
Interestingly enough, the obvious "creeps" on the bus never actually bother me. Which is weird, because you gotta keep an eye on the less obvious ones.
I don't know, man...I'm not one of those people who are like 'eww public transport' but there sure are some funny people out there.
