People creep the HELL out of me sometimes.

[Sarah]

I figure this thread can be about bad or weird experiences people have had. Talk about a time you've been frightened, creeped out by, or made incredibly uncomfortable by people.

My story has to do with a cabby.

About a month ago, I had this really creepy cabby. When I got in the cab, he immediately decided to tell me how good I smell and somewhat flirt with me. Normally, I'd just ignore this, but I got him the next day. He remembered me. On the way to work, it was the same thing- telling me how good I smell and flirting. Okay... A few hours after he dropped me off at work, I had to walk over to one of our other buildings (half a block away) to respond to a call. He was parked outside the building, standing outside his car, facing my building. "Hey, it's the girl that smells good!" *shudder*

Today, when I was on my way to that same building, I had to walk by a parked cab. And you know what I hear out of it? "Hey! I know you! You're the girl that smells good!"

... If this had been three days in a row, I wouldn't have been creeped out by it, but a month later? He still remembers me? And that's what he says? What ever happened to saying "Hello" or "Good morning"?

Why do girls never understand how to take a compliment?

That being said, did you expect anything less from a cab driver? I mean really. As long as that's all he does is say you smell nice, I'd say that's a good thing.

Yeah, I can see why that would creep you out. The first couple of times is ok, but a month later and he still remembers.. and not only that, but you kept encountering him. Bad luck, I say.

As for people creeping me out.. the only thing I can think of at the moment is when I was 12 years old and I was swimming in my pool. My bathing suit was getting too tight for me, but it was all I had. When I got out of the water, my uncle told me to sit on his lap. I refused, of course. But later , when I took a shower, I got out to get a towel.. and I was humming. When I wrapped the towel around me, I heard my uncle say "you sing good!" and I have to say, I was ****ing creeped out.. and I had NO idea he was in my room at the time. My aunt and uncle were staying over and they used my room. I guess he went to bed early, and the room was dark, so I had no way of knowing he was in there.. and afterwards, I was worried if he had seen me without the towel on ;_;. And no, my uncle is not a child molester.. but that was just frikkin weird.

The guy in the chip shop where I live gives me very strange looks. Every time I go in there, he gets all cross-eyed, and stares too much. And he never smiles at me - he is fine with my brother apparently. Maybe it's just me. o.o;

Haha, and ever since my friend said my name in the corner shop at the end of my street, the guy in there constantly uses it to greet me - even though I don't know him. I don't even know his name. If I go in there with a friend he hasn't met before, he quickly starts asking for their name, and acting as if we're all best buddies. -__-

And I used to get followed by a strange looking woman on a bike. She used to wait outside my block of flats across the road, and slowly follow me each morning on the way to school. I didn't think she noticed that I noticed, which would be pretty hard not to when you start changing the times you leave the house. I encountered her one evening while out with my friends, and for some reason, she got quickly angry with us - we had to all split up and run.

I'm sure there is more. For some reason, I attract all sorts of weirdos.

Since we're talking about being uncomfortable and being put in awkward positions, here's a story that I've got.

Okay, so I'm on a road trip, somewhere along the east coast at this point. I'm driving, but it's getting to be early in the morning since I drove all night, so I pull the car over and take a small break. As I'm resting in the driver's seat, this random girl hops in the back of my car and tells me to take her some place across town I've never even heard of! So I'm like, "okay sure", you know just being the nice guy and all. Plus she was pretty good looking, which is a bonus. So because I was absolutely clueless with some random woman getting in the back of my car telling me what to do (I'm from the midwest, for all I know this could be some wierd fetish, idk), but I didn't want it to be all awkward, so I told her she smelled nice, because she kinda did. Apparently she looked all offended, so I joked around and tried making some cheesy one-liners. Who knows maybe I was getting sex out of this, lol. Seemed like it wasn't working, so I just shut up and dropped her off, and after that I took a nap.

When I woke up, she started walking towards my car again, so I just weakly said "It's the girl that smells good.." and shuddered, in which I quickly drove back home. About a month later, I was chatting it up with my friends when that same girl walked by where I was parked! I told them the story about the random girl that smelled good, but I think she overheard me because she seemed to have a disgusted look in her face.

But yeah, what a random story though, isn't it?
