Wierd Encounters
As i was taking the train home the other day, i noticed this guy who got on the train. Appearance-wise he looked like any normal person who just went running and was carrying his gym bag, and some plastic bag and his newpaper and what nots. But while standing against the glass panel near the door, he laughed at something, but there really was no other stimuli that would have generated that kinda response, unless well he saw something that i didn't manage to catch in that split second. Alright so i'll leave it as that. Then the lady who was sitting next to me got off, and he decided to sit next to me. I did notice that earlier there were empty seats but he didn't choose to sit down, but hey sometimes i do that too, i don't really feel like sitting at the moment, preferring to give up that seat to someone else, til a few stops later, i realise i really do wanna sit down.
So he sat down and was arranging his newspaper, envelope and ez-link card. It's like it had to be in a particular placement (
OCD/
OCPD), then he did something really weird. He decided to try to push down his shorts a little bit, like u know when u're at home and ur butt's really itchy, so u decide to do it, but he wasn't scratching. He was like just inching his already very short running shorts down, just that little bit. What i find it really interesting was that the way he did it, wasn't really like out-right flashing but yet very subtle. But there was definitely something wrong with him. Because if he were a flasher, his actions would have been more obvious, however, it wasn't it's like i wanna do it but i don't wanna get everyone's attention. But i would definitely have saw it happening since he's right next to me. In total he did that twice, and then dug his nose like nobody's business, EEW. Anyway the best was when he wanted to get off the train, he got all his stuff and was standing near the door waiting for the train to pull to a stop and get off. I wasn't really sure whether he was looking out the train door or looking at the girl standing on the left of the glass panel (Plus the fact that that door is the first door of the train, i wonder what else is there to see). Then as the door opened and as he was walking out, he decided to lift up his shorts so that i can see his blue underwear. It was sorta like a exhibitionist action rather than to scratch his ass or something.
Anyway when i retold to story to my parents in the car that night, my dad said u should have just turned round and stared at him and ask him what the hell is he doing. Apparently it's very normal to do that in China, Taiwan Hong Kong. In singapore, everyone just peeps and pretends nothing is going on, rather than confront the person.
