I have no complains in commuting. I actually enjoy sitting in a bus while listening to my favorite music on my iPod. 

However there are some people who make my commuting experience into a hell. 

Two days ago, when I was waiting for the bus. There was a middle aged man who stood on my side. He looks like Homer Simpson. He smiled at me first, then I smiled back. Then he started asking me questions like where I’m from, if my bf is Norwegian and where I am going. I got really uneasy because I don’t really know him. I met him once before and he was not insisting like that till now. I replied him that I’m just going to meet a friend in the town. I walked away from him but he followed me. He kept telling me that he have been living in Norway for 20 years. Maybe he needs someone to talk to (I told myself), so I entertained him and tried not to look scared and sceptical. Then suddenly he started smiling and staring  as if as he was undressing me. It was getting awkward and I started praying for the bus to come. Unfortunately my prayer was not heard that time.. the bus was still late. Grrr! Then he asked me if we can take a cup of coffee in the town. Eeeew! Of course, I said NO THANKS, but he was still curious where would I go to if we’re not going to the cafe. So I just pretended that I haven’t heard him. The bus came, I let him board the bus first because I didn’t want him to see where I was going to sit and I’ve thought that I was in the safe zone, till he waved his hand and asked me to sit beside him! Everyone looked at me and some were even laughing. I ignored him and sat beside an old woman.
I’m not a cynical person nor someone who judges someone by his/her looks but I do easily get terrified by strangers especially old men flirting with young girls. Come on, there are lots of women to be flirted with. I was not the only girl on that bus stop. There are five other women on his age too but why me? Why us??

Anyway, whatever the reason he has, I hope that I’m just wrong.
