Calling all wierdo's!

Seriously..i am coming to terms with the fact that i literally am a human magnet for the world's misfits, wierdos and general odd-bods. Wherever i am, whatever i am doing something will occur and some random person, man or woman, young or old it doesn't really matter...they single me out approach and go out of their way to make me feel as uncomfortable as they possibly can!

So let me elaborate..

Last week for example..and let us bear in mind all this happened in ONE day:
On the bus back from taking my little charge swimming, she is fast asleep and a dead weight in my arms and the bus is RAMMED.. i have a fat pervy old guy rubbing himself against me..i have a woman holding the bar OVER the top of my hand..even though the WHOLE bar is free from all other hands..and yet she feels the need to clasp my hand..maybe she thought i was going to fall..i dunno.
So then some businessman stands there and yells at all the people sitting down that they should be ashamed of themselves not giving the lady with a sleeping child a seat.. (don't get me wrong i was totally grateful for the seat..) just not the entire bus turning to have a look at me clearly thinking how pathetic i must be not to just ask for a seat myself (truthfully i was afraid if i moved an INCH the big pervy man would enjoy it too much)

Later on..the bus on the way to the train station...this old man was chatting to me about his WALKING stick and how good it was..top of the range don't you know! I also overheard some young people (not sure how old) discussing one of the girls' relationship and how she basically beats her boyfriend up if he stays out any longer than agreed and how she hit him over the head with a chair and scribbled on all his trainers in permanent marker pen...(she did look a bit chavvy and was wearing a fur coat..but i couldn't help thinking she was talking a load of shit basically.
On the tube..again squished into oblivion as u often are on the tube..i was stuck between a couple..holding hands around me and discussing science ficton and how it could be reality if you apply it to certain specific situations..yes FOR REAL.

On the way HOME. some european greasy guy kept leaning over towards me to LISTEN TO MY IPOD and telling me my songs were good.. Like FULL ON i had my headphones in..PERSONAL SPACE..yak!
Bus journey...i get squished onto the bus and end up standing next to a pushchair loaded with bags.. at which point an old lady with about 4 coats and 7 scarves and 3 hats etc shouts at me not to touch her bags.. oh yes a BAG LADY.
here follows our charming exchane of words..
BAG LADY: Dont touch my bags
Me: i'm not touching them, im just standing here
BAG LADY: move away from them, i know you youths..can't trust you (umm do i look like a chavvy teenage youth yob?)
me: i can't move there is no where else to stand
BAG LADY: come here then
me: umm no
BAG LADY: swap with me, i don't want you touching my things.
me: ok

i was petrified she would impale me with her umbrella or run me down with her pushchair..(nice deviation from the normal bag-person trolley accessory i thought though)


The following day Asda.. a spotty little Asian checkout guy..chatting me up. Even though i was hostile, didn't make eye contact and was buying amongst other things lady bits most guys would be eager to just get through the checkout...he still managed to find out my age, where i went to uni and where i was spending christmas, that id been on a gap year and spent last xmas in australia. I dont remember giving him any of that information..and yet i must just subconsciously respond politely to people..
Anyway i eventually managed to escape when he asked me where i lived because the little old dear behind me said " im sure she just wants to buy her lady bits without you asking her for her life story love" which made him go a bit red and then he said "i hope to see you in here again soon" i mean WTF..

Like yes, this happened in the same week..but this is just one of many weeks where i have had these kind of encounters...it has been happening for quite some time..i decided i would voice my opinions a little more directly.

One of my dear friends said clearly the wierdo's are attracted to my own obvious wierdness..which of course could quite well be true.

i HAVE concluded however, that it is quite entertaining to eavesdrop on public transport as some of the conversations are pretty amusing,, there will deffo be more installments based on that! I have also decided it is not limited to the London area-wierdos like me wherever i am..hmm what does that say about me?!
