I was on the train last night, coming back from a dinner/conference when I spotted a dude staring me down from a seat down at the other end of the train. As time passed, he moved one set of seats closer and closer to me before he started talking to me, pulling the usual attempts at what creepy people consider flirting.
A young boy, maybe 15 or 16, came and sat in between me and the guy and did nothing but pull out a book and read. I think the older guy was just so put off and surprised by being interrupted and not given any attention, and he got off at the next stop.
When I thanked the kid, he told me that he just saw a good spot to read, showed me the cover of his book, then went back to reading.
The kids are alright.
