I was on the LIRR train going home from work and started to fall asleep while reading. A huge guy sat across from me but I didn’t really think anything of it since there was another guy sitting two seats away from me. I mean, what could possibly happen out in the open with people around?
The guy started bumping his foot into mine, which I moved twice away from him. Then he reached down to presumably tie his shoe and he “accidentally” brushed his fingers against my shin (I was wearing a dress)… I got mad and started to move like I was going to get off the train. Then the coward suddenly bolted and got off the train before I could make my next move.
Infuriating! Especially since I am a health professional and was working on something related to my career— it seems some creeps treat all women with disrespect.
