This weird old guy tried to ask me out and I’m not even in to guys!
I had just come from school. I sat down on the bench at the trolley station. I’m trying to become a welder, so I ‘m carrying my stupid broken helmet (fyi auto-helm helmets are pieces of shit don’t buy them!). 10 minutes go by and every trolley but the one I’m waiting for comes- some even twice; but I’m patient. My mood is ok at this point; I’m minding my own business, lost in thought as I enjoy my music.
I look down the black tunnel; my patience has begun to drain. Another 10 minutes go by, alright where is this damn trolley! I’m vaguely aware of someone walk around me and sit down next to me while I contemplate if I should just take that long walk. I had my music up pretty loud so I couldn’t hear; I just happened to look in that direction and saw the person that sat by me. It was a guy in his late 40s early 50s. His hair was kind of fro-e and he had bad skin. His face looked like a battered rock with poppy eyes.
I didn’t really look at him at first just in that direction but in my peripheral vision I saw him looking at me so I looked at him and he was talking to me. I took my ear buds out thinking this guy wants to talk to me about being a female welder because he sees my helmet- not the case. He asked me how I was doing; I say fine then look away. There’s an awkward silence between us and I can feel him still looking at me. I’m getting a weird vibe from this guy, like his trying to ask me out( mind you I’m a 24 year old butch lesbian and I dress as such).
Before he can say anything else, I take this opportunity to stand up and walk a little farther up the platform. Wow ok that weirdness is over, so I thought, impatiently now I look down the tunnel again and at my watch; when I look up again he’s right in front of me! He’s rubbing his hands together at chest level in a horizontal fashion as he stares at me with the googily- I want to fuck you eyes. He then asks me what trolley am I waiting for, I tell him and excitedly, he says he’s wanting for the same one! Then he says, you look nice, I think to myself alright I’m out of here! I tell him that the trolley is taking too long and I’m going to take the train instead- thank god he didn’t follow me.
The crater-face weirdo made me walk far out of my way! I’ll never forget the way he rubbed his hands together as he looked at me with that perverted stare! What the hell was he thinking coming on to me like that EWWW….I rather not know….
