Train commuting and teenage schoolgirls!

Plenty of smartass comment ideas there ... thanks very much. I know that english could be colourful if I ask the correct person.

It seems I'm going home early again today and most likely will bump into the same group of brats too!

I will leave the video option out as "Middle-aged man videotapes school girls" makes more compelling headlines than "Schoolgirls taped after harrassing stranger"

Just give em heaps & as a last resort you could threaten them with a chance meeting with Uncle Chop Chop or worse Hoffys mum

There are some awesome lines in this thread, I hope i can remember some of them when the time comes!
I hope they don't all come to me at once tho and i just spit out some jumbled concotion of put downs........i hate when that happens!

I don't think i'd go with the photo and video options, it could end in tears. your tears. especially if somebody ELSE on the train cathes you in the process

Tell me about it

"Hey, that's a really nice uniform! DO they make it for women....?"

Were you born this obnoxious, or do you get up early and practice?

When you were born they slapped your mother in the mouth.

Stupid and fugly, you really drew the short straw eh?

GOLD !!!!

These are truly gold. I did not bump into them yesterday, but this morning I jumped into the bus after my train and lo and behold!!... the same group of girls!

As soon as I walked into the bus one of them proceeded to give me some and quote: "How are you my friend... " in an 'indian' accent . So I stopped and calmly replied. "Good morning. How are you today?" like a normal human being. Obviously I have a well-rehearsed verbal spray ready...

But they then just stopped and quiet down. Not even a word for the whole 15 minutes of the trip. So either they found me not amusing anymore or just plain bored .... Very strange.

Before, it was probably because before you looked shy and they felt that you were embarrassed! This time they're probably scared that youre some crazy man ready to try something on

Do you think this product will keep them off me or worse..

Them and a big black overcoat and your set!

When you showed them you weren't intimidated by them they backed down. Sounds like typical bully behaviour.

As for those scared to film them being obnoxious and abusive, you are filming a crime in progress for evidence, not the girls themselves. All you have to say is you felt threatened and you are within your right to protect yourself. If you posted it on youtube or e-mailed it to your mates though, that's another story.

That sounds good in theory. But in this day and age with paedophiles and child pornography being the hot topics that they are, I wouldn't like to be the bloke trying to convince police, a magistrate, and the public, that as a grown man i was feeling threatened by a couple of school girls. You'd be up shit creek without a paddle i reckon!

YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY ...

Sure enough I ended up in the same bus with these girls. The first 10 or so minutes everything was quiet and peacful. I was quite happy actually thinking that being nice yesterday is enough to put off their amusement. But nooooo... they started again to harrass me "How are you my friend .." in indiannese . I walked to them and then it goes like this:

me, calmly: Hi. May I suggest that you're respectful when talking to strangers. Otherwise please keep your mouth to yourself?

brat: I am respectful, ha..ha.. hi..hi... what's your name (in indianese..).

me: Andi. What's your name ?

brat: Habib.

At this point I nearly lost it and about to give her the verbal abuse (as advised he..he..) but kept a cool head and told her: You're offending a stranger and you dont get it do you? At this stage I missed my stop already. Soooooo I got off the bus with them and proceeded to walk to their school ... at this stage these kids realize what is happening and started to shout "sorry andi....so sorry" IN AUSSIE ACCENT

I met a teacher at the gate and told her that I want to see the principal of this school and briefly explain the situation. I showed her the group of girls.... and they start to scream "This guy is a stalker ..." but that's expected and I shook my head in disgust.

I met with the principal and vice principal and explain the situation in detail. Although calm I made sure that I look really pissed off and about to snap. They took this really..really seriously when I explain the nature of the abuse in graphic details. Put down a written statement. During this someone came and told me that the girls have another "version" of the story, but before I left apparently they admitted the whole thing. I was told also that one of the main brat actually just new in school.

A really weird and ankward situation and I'm late for work, I haven't even told my wife yet . But quite pleased that these spoilt brats understand that they can't simply get away with it all! Now I will be travelling next week so will not meet them again next week but keen what the outcome is

[Jeebz10R]

Haha Well done!

So at what point did you laying in the smack down? Cmon, SURELY there has to something thrown in to make it more appealling to read? Cant just go about being as calm and well handled as that now!!

Top marks for not going overboard and being calm and collected

You used my line right!? RIIIIIIGGGHT!?!?

[red_dave]

Glad it's worked out for you Andy... Schools tend to look down on anything that tarnishes the school name so it was a great move!

Going ot be an interesting convo with the wife though... " Hi honey, so on the way to work this morning i decided to miss my stop and follow some girls to their school..."
