These Are 19 of the Most Horrible Strangers People Had to Sit Next to

17.

Sitting on the subway on my way to visit a friend, it wasn’t crowded so I took a middle seat. Guy comes into the subway, sits directly beside me despite there being tons of open seats. Proceeds to slowly inch his leg over so it was touching mine (it was summer, I was wearing shorts). I shifted over a little thinking maybe he didn’t understand personal space but every time I moved he inched his leg closer so it was touching mine. I decided “fuck politeness” and got up and moved one seat over. He followed and was basically leaning his body against mine. I got up again and sat right in the middle of a group of people a little ways down the train. Dude proceeded to get off at the next stop, avoiding everyone who was now looking at him in the group of people I sat with. Basically, I’m glad there were others around, who actually turned out to be very nice people.

Plane to France, I was 19. Fell asleep. Woke up as we were descending and realized the dude next to me was furiously masturbating. I was against the window, he was in the middle with no one next to him. He had a newspaper covering so the people across the aisle couldn’t see but I saw his cock plain as day. Was SO grossed out! The fasten seatbelt signs were on and we were almost on the ground so I didn’t call anyone. Plus I was shy. Wish I had told someone looking back.

I was on the NYC subway on my way to the beach. A very smelly dude “accidentally” sat on my lap while touching himself. I was in a wheelchair about two feet from any actual seat and there was no one else in the car so there was not even a chance of it being an accident. You’re not fooling me Mr. Perv Guy. I did my banshee sailor-mouthed screaming thing and he got scared and went to another car.
