Weird guy on train

12 replies

I’m currently on a train and the guy in the seat across the aisle from me is sitting in a very weird position with his phone angled towards me. Now maybe he’s bored (possibly been here since midday) but it’s weirding me out. I’m an old fart and no beauty but the phone is angled like he’s filming.

99% of me thinks I’m being daft and to get over myself, why would anyone film me but it’s just weird!

Can you move to another seat? Don't spend your whole journey uncomfortable if you can move, it's not worth it. I used to so I didn't seem 'rude' or upset anyone bit now I just move every time.

Get up at the next stop (as if you're getting off) and move to another carriage

Get your phone out & act like you are filming him

Yes just move. You shouldn't have to be spending your journey worrying about it.

Orca ok he’s changed position now. Will make sure he gets off the train first.

Next station is the last one and in London so will be very easy to get away.

Oops posted too soon.

On this occasion I do think I was over thinking but that’s for the replies and letting me know it’s ok to feel a bit weird about it

Aww this sort of thing would make me feel a bit uncomfortable too. Glad he has moved. Take care

DP has to look at his phone at an odd angle as the screen is cracked. Could be innocent, if you’re uncomfortable in future I’d certainly move.

I came to say the same

Yep think all is innocent, just felt weird at the time. He is probably completely unaware that he made me feel uncomfortable. But all is good, I’m nearly home now but good to know that I could have contacted BTS if necessary.

Or he's watching something on the screen and doesn't want anyone else to see.
