    How American of you. Someone makes you a little nervous, assault them pre-emptively.

    Especially since most of us don't read GB's threads.

    Years ago I was standing right next to the doors inside a very packed, rush hour tube train. We arrived at a station and the doors opened and in walked this incredibly weird looking and very tall Goth with long spiky hair. He squeezed right in front of me and I tried not to look into his made up face and tried to look out through the tube windows. The doors closed and the tube train was off. Next minute this Goth starts making these very sharp breathing sounds like an anteater snuffling out a nest of termites. His face started to contort and he gritted his teeth. I thought typical, the nutter on the tube is stood right next to me carrying out some sort of underground, satanic frotting. He got louder and louder, the sharp intakes of air become more and more frantic. The whole carriage fell silent and you knew the passengers were relieved it was me next to the nutcase and not them.

    Eventually the train arrived at the platform and the doors opened and this guy hissed like a serpent and then said:

    "Ah, thank goodness for that, I had my hair caught in the doors".

    The whole carriage started laughing...

    At least he tried to cover it up. A bloke using one of the PCs in our public library last week was conducting a exchange on some swingers forum using 40 point bright red text. Couldn't help but notice when walking past.

    A few stops later this weirdo gets on the train, apparently he looked like some nerdy train spotter type (think this sort of guy) with his packed lunch box, mandatory anorac and camera round his neck. He starts mumbling and acting weird that some person was sat in his seat further down the carraige even though he didn't have a reservation then eventually decides to sit in the only seat left right next to her. Ignoring the obvious weirdo she continues to read her book, most likely some sort of smutty novel knowing her, and trying to wake herself up before work.

    This 35ish yr old anorac then introduces himself as noddy, nigel or someother geek name which freaked my sister out big time so she politely turns away and continues to read her book. He then leans over towards her and breathes like some sort of sex pervert in her ear !! unbelieveable on a public train, when she flinched a little he started muttering about asking her what she was reading and some weird sh!t about the seat reservation system which totally freaked her out. She sat as far away on her seat as possible from him and tried not be sick as he got out some mangy old sandwiches out of his lunch box and started eating them in a ratlike style... then got out a top shelf mens mag and started read it while making strange grunting noises, the freak had even tried to cover the mag up with some old chipshop paper

    There are some weird as hell people out there folks, be warned.

    I was the cause of a similar situation a few years ago - I decided to return home early one day so caught a stopping train on an alternative route rather than my usual fast direct jobbie

    Seated in the seats infront was a young girl (14ish) and her younger brother and unfortunately the poster showing the stations along the route was directly above her head.

    She must have become uncomfortable with my constant looking (above her head) as I mentally ticked off each station as we passed, so eventually dragged brother to alternate seats - the train conductor thinking they were new joiners asked to see their tickets, to which she replied "you've already seen them - we've moved because that man over there (me) keeps staring at me!!!


    Silly bint

    I think she'll just avoid early morning trains from now on and is looking into getting a car, her new boyfriend is a member of one of these secret societies and knows someone who can help get her a good deal on the thing.

    I once (first and last time, geez it was expensive) caught a Eurostar train and the comedian of a ticket office woman apparently thought it would be funny to seat me next to a young lady also travelling alone. Nothing unusual about that you may say. Well, the rest of the carriage was empty, or near enough, which didn't go unnoticed by the young lady, who pointed this out. She reseated herself.
