lovestruck234 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 There is this man - I think from memory when he told me he'a about 27 - 30 yrs old (can't quite remember) who catches the train to work everyday, the same train as me... He gets on at a later stop to me so I'm already sitting there, listening to music, reading whatever, just enjoying my own company and he always comes and sits next to me...EVERY single day. I dont' mind having a bit of a chat or whatever but he's such a weirdo. Just a few f*cking stupid, weird things he does... - Without fail, EVERY SINGLE DAY he comments on something I'm wearing. And I hate it. I get super insecure and feel like I'm being friggen surveyed by him or something every day. Like once I was wearing a sleev-less blouse and he sits down and goes "Oooh, showing off the tan today are we?" It's like "What's it to you?" do you know what I mean? I hate it. I feel so, well, worried about what I wear now in case he comments on it. A few days ago I wore my hair out (which I don't normally do to work) and he's like "Oooh, this is a different look for you, isn't it?" as he touches my hair....WTF is it to you?? - He always talks REALLY loud and is always picking out someone on the train and making fun of them. He'll sit next to me and be like, really loud "Hahaha!!! DID YOU SEE THAT GUY'S SHIRT/HAIR/MOUSTACHE/FACE??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" I'll find myself sinking into my seat just going "haha, yeah..(f*cking FREAK!)" I just feel embarrased around him because his stupid ways rub off onto me and people will turn around and give both me AND him death stares. I find myself everyday PRAYING that someone sits next to me before he gets on so he doesn't get to sit next to me. But, lik, even is someone DOES sit next to me, he'll find the closest seat, sit there and just stare at me the whole time. THE WHOLE TIME. I think he waits for me to look back at him so he can do something else stupid, but I just look out the window. He's just a really annoying person, not to mention immature since he's like, what, nearly 30...and I can't seem to shake him off. It's like, I don't even know this guy but I feel like I'm expected to talk to him EVERY day and put up with the same bullsh*t. It's so annoying. And like, when we get to a certain stop, everyone has to get off and change into another train to keep going....and if he gets off before me he'll wait till I get off and when he sees me through the crowd he'll thro he's hands in the air and yell out "TESS!!! I'M OVER HERE!!" And everyone turns around and looks at me...I'm like "hi!" ........... And then if I get off before him i try to scoot onto a carriage and he will STILL go through all the carriages till he finds me... Ugh, I know I sound like a bitch here, but damn, he's just.... HE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!
Author lovestruck234 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 GAAHHH I just realised I spealt freakzoid wrong on my title... Whoops. I'm not dumb, just dislexic...
ShoeGirl Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Have you asked him to leave you alone, to stop talking to you? Or try just not acknowledging him even if he is sitting next to you, just listen to your music or read, or whatever else you do on the train.
johan Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Can you just watch for him to get on the train, and then just wait for the next one? Or wait back in the crowd and wait to see where he goes, then go sit next to someone else. Wear headphones and listen to music and pretend you can't hear him. Don't brush your teeth in the morning (if that's when you see him) and when you talk to him, breath right into his face. Garlic the night before is good, and so is a lot of coffee. You can brush at the office. Do that several days straight until he gets completely turned off. Make sure you always have bad breath on the train. Find another guy to make friends with and try to get that guy to sit with you, or even pretend he's your boyfriend. A big hairy guy. Tell him how you and your boyfriend raise fighting dogs, and invite him out for a night of betting and tell him the stakes are always real high. Tell him you told your boyfriend about him, and sort of promised he'd show up. Tell him you'd be a little afraid to let your boyfriend and his brothers down. It's sort of an organized thing (wink, wink).
Trialbyfire Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Just freeze him off. You know how to do it. All women do. If he continues, you can either move, if/when he sits next/close to you or you can say in an assertive voice, "Hey, you're really annoying. Please go away.".
Citizen Erased Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I supporse you just sit in the same carriage every day? I notice Aussies do that. It could be as simple as sit in a different carriage. OR: Tell him to f*ck off. Look him up and down with a disgusted look and say something bitchy. Start talking to yourself and rock back and forth. Pretend you have a tick Sing a really annoying song Do lunges in the aisle Or just turn your music up and completely ignore him. Weirdos are fickle people he will move onto another person to annoy.
johan Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 ... Pretend you have a tick Yeah. Ask him to search for it in your hair. Scratch a lot.
Sand&Water Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 RE: Incredible. Entertaining. Bombard yourself with all the care in the world. People care too much -and generalize extensively. All you know from first glance is he's a weirdo. That's not acceptable. You should leave him alone. Surely, you care about all this because . . . ? Find something else to worry about in your free time, rather than trying to disinfect that man on the train. Ignore button. Use it ! Sand&Water

Sand&Water I might be a bit slow on the uptake here, but I think she cares about this because he bothers her & makes her feel uncomfortable. I can only guess, but I'm sure she does try to leave him alone, but he won't return the favor. It would kind of bother me if somebody was touching my hair. Some weirdo I didn't even know. But, that's just me. Lovestruck, have you asked him to just leave you alone? I would just tune him out, if you can..
Citizen Erased Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah. Ask him to search for it in your hair. Scratch a lot. I do apologise: Pretend you have a FACIAL tick. A twinge. A spontaneous facial movement.
silentalways Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 maybe try the reverse on him and see how he likes it mess him up man - lol
Poboy Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 how come you two end up in the same compartment , arent they seperated or something ... you could shift from your seat to somewhere else , he'll get the idea.
Citizen Erased Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 how come you two end up in the same compartment , arent they seperated or something ... you could shift from your seat to somewhere else , he'll get the idea. See that's what I thought lol. But if you are on the train every day then you get a routine. You want what's familiar, so even if they are running late, they will still go for "their" compartment.

SmoochieFace Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 How about just moving away... take a different seat when he approaches you, perhaps? If you're not comfortable with his behaviour then you do what you have to do to avoid it. Nothing wrong with asserting yourself.
BARBGURL Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Just be scary and weird. Here is an example dialog: "Oh my God, you look delish today! You should really cut your hair. I think a man should be all over smooth. I alway take a bic to my boyfriends. Do You like it when a woman shaves your balls? Anyway, I can't wait to get married. I'm going to have at least 7 kids - it's my destiny. Are you single? Do you like kids? My boyfriend says he's frustrated because I want all these kids but we can't have sex and I keep teeling him - NO SEX UNTIL AFTER THE WEDDING!!!! Have you ever seen "Silence of the LAmbs"? You know human flesh really doesn't tatse all that bad. It's a little tough, but the key is to cook it slowly over low heat. Ohhh, I'm just kidding.....but not really. Who, I mean what, are you having for lunch today?"

Author lovestruck234 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Posted December 10, 2006 Very VERY funny responses... First time I've actualy laughed out loud while reading something on here... :lmao: :lmao: Yeah, I do sit in the same compartment everyday. Around the same area too...I know I know, it's just habit I guess. I get on the very first stop and I always get a seat, you know, where I want seeing as I'm first on usually. Then, because it's peak hour and everyone's going to work there really isn't any available seats to go and sit in when I see him coming. The annoying thing is, when we pull up to his stop, he looks through the windows to see where I'm sitting and spots me every single day. I've tried to pretend like I can't see him and turn my music up loud, I've fake slept when he comes on, I've even tried chatting with the nearest person to me so I don't notice him....but he's like a f*cking leach!! He just won't leave me alone!!!!!!! Ok, just this morning, I somehow end up with a spare seat next to me and all the others are full (well, thereabouts). When we pulled up to his stop, a young guy got on before him and sat next to me.....JACKPOT!! Then he got on and waves frantically in my face "Hahaha, HEY TESS!" then runs his hand over his head to imply that he got his hair shaved off. I smiled and giggled a little...just to make out like I CARED, and then he sat down in the seat behind me. The young guy saw that me and him had talked so we must have known each other so he turns around to him and goes "Hey, you can sit here if you want.." Geez, very nice of you young lad, but I would rather a sane person sit next to me at 7am in the morning. So he hopped up and FREAKAZOID sits down next to me... Ugh. And he always does this, starts telling me about his weekend...but you know, like, REALLY irrelevant, boring, I-don't-give-a-rats-ass stuff. Like how he went fishing and caught a 50kg Tiger Shark and how he got sunburt on the boat and how he rang this girl, who by the way, has made it CLEAR AS DAY from what he tells me that she wants nothing to do with him, and asked her ONCE AGAIN, what's going on and why she hasn't kept in contact...uhmm....BECAUSE YOU'RE A FREAK!! Along with how his niece came over and she got hold of his watch and pressed a button and now it keeps going on snooze every five minutes... ARRGHHHH I DON'T CARE!! IT'S 7AM IN THE MORNING, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS HOW MUCH I WISH I WAS IN THE SURF AWAY FROM YOU! Ok, about the wait till he gets on a carriage then go on a different one...he doesn't do that. He waits for me every single day, for as long as he has to until I reach him...he doesn't go onto the other train until I'm there... Like the other week I was actually asleep on the first train (not faking it) while he got on...I woke up at the stop to get off and change trains and once again he waited for me. I got off and he YELLS at me, like as if, I couldn't hear over the hustle and bustle (when really I COULD) and he's like "HAHAHA I GOT ON, AND I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU BUT I COULDN'T FIND YOU. THEN WHEN I GOT UP TO CHANGE TRAINS I REALISED YOU WERE ALL SNUGGLED UP ASLEEP NEXT TO THE WINDOW. I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOU UNTIL THEN...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" EVERYBODy turned around and looked at us. I swear people in Sydney could hear him, that's how loud he was talking. He's just embarrasing, annoying and such a boring person...
Guest Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Tell him that you got a boyfriend, and that your boyfriend dropped you off at the train and saw you talking...and he is really jealous ...and although you love talking to him, you feel obligated to respect your boyfriends wishes....so you can no longer speak with him. Or maybe you can say, "I don't mean to be rude or hurt your feelings, but I like to use these rides to work as my relaxation and thinking time and I'd rather not visit with people".
