I was on the 2 train headed uptown home from school on Friday. I got a nice corner seat and had my nose in my book looking forward to a great weekend. At the next stop a lot of people got on and this guy in a suit stands right in front of me and is hanging by his arm.
The train leaves and I feel him like kick my shoe. So I look up at him and the scumbag flicks his tongue at me.
I ignored him and put my nose back in my book. I see that he is leaning in really close over me and realize he is looking right down my blouse. So I look up at him again and he flicks his tongue at me again and he is fucking pointing his iphone right at me.
This pervert is filming my reaction or filming down my top.WTF. I was so pissed of. I got up and pushed him out of my way and stood by the door. I got off at the next stop which seemed like forever. I looked back at him when I got off and he flicked his tongue and winked at me. Not only that he gave me the finger.
I didn’t let this asshole ruin my day but I wanted to post it. He was tall blonde in a suit with a wedding ring and a pervert that likes to stalk high school girls. If I see him on that train again I am going to tell the engineer.

Jacquelyn,
I am so so sorry that happened. I have had a similar bad experience, by a man dressed in a shirt and tie on the F train. I was so upset I looked up the information for you. Please consider reporting this incident, because that guy could be on the subway today harassing another high school girl. Here’s the info.
