So. A few months ago I was on the subway with my friend Leigh coming home. It was really late; probably about 5 in the morning. We had both been drinking (but remember, we were on the subway... so it was safe drinking). I decide to call my friend in Armenia because it can be hard to get in touch with him, and for some reason, it works best when I call him at 4 or 5 a.m. There is much less static and delay.
Leigh and I had been having a conversation, then I rudely make my call on the subway. The entire time, there is this weird guy sitting across from us (picture that famous sketch of the unabomber, but without the glasses--you know, the one that looks like Weird Al), just staring, and occasionally smiling. Repulsed, we both ignore him. I believe he even started somewhat "touching himself" but being that we wouldn't look at his general direction, who knows?
My subway stop is about twenty thousand from where we were, so it took a good amount of time. The guy ends up standing up and standing next to Leigh. He mumbles something like, "My stop next. You want to get off?"
"WHAT?"
"You want to come with me?"
Leigh (rightly so) says, "You need to back up and leave me alone. BACK UP! GET AWAY FROM US!" (or something similar) and he finally just gets off the train.
But the point of this story is this: does that EVER work? Is that guy ever on the subway, sees a total stranger, smiles while touching himself, then says, "my stop is next, you want to come with me?" and get a response like, "you know what? Yeah! That sounds like JUST what I wanted to do tonight..."
Sometimes I just want to understand the thinking process behind all of this.

i like how he asked it OVER AND OVER too.
hahaha yeah like the whistles from the guy in a passing car. Where does he think THAT's going?
Maybe he was on drugs, and thought, "This usually works for the prostitutes," but was so cracked out he couldn't differentiate between you guys and prostitutes.
