Got a Harasser Kicked Off the Bus

In Stories | on 12.29.08 | by | Comments ( 2 )

I’ve had some pretty horrible experiences even in my (relatively) nice neighborhood. This one isn’t too bad, but it ended especially well. Once I was wearing a strapless dress on the bus. The guy behind me was obviously drooling over me and he kept saying, “boy is it ever HOT in here, WOW!” while blowing on the back of my neck. After the 3rd time (3 times too many) I turned around, smacked him across the face and told him to keep his distance. The bus driver noticed the commotion, and stopped the bus to ask us what was going on. I told him, and he took down the guy’s information, kicked him off the bus, and told me he’d report him. Yay!

Wow. What a great story! It took courage to hit him though, but that’s a safe place on a busy bus. I’m taking note of that! Thanks for sharing your story!

Yes! I love it when harassment stories have happy endings.
