Strange man on bike

8 replies

A weird looking man on a bike - could have been on drugs - just came up to me (with my 2 year old) and asked me ‘excuse me is there a primary school around here?’

I’m in London so obviously there are primary schools everywhere, I just said I don’t know and he cycled off

AIBU to think I should maybe report that to 101? Or am I overthinking it?

Overthinking.

Baffled and confused parent/relative meant to collect small child from somewhere he is unfamiliar with, looks loopy because he's a long way down the rabbit hole of 'I fucked up a simple task and several people are going to shout at me shortly'...

Yadbu!

There is no crime of looking weird, being on a bike or asking for directions.

What offence are you going to report OP?

🙄🙄🙄

I was actually asked that question once by two dodgy looking blokes in a pickup truck... they didn't mention the name of the school, but were trying to get to the school fete. Maybe he was lost.

FFS!

On the rare occasion that a man breaks free from the clichés and actually asks for directions, he gets accused of being a pervert on drugs!

FGS, he may just have been asking a question. Have you never heard the saying? NEVER JUDGE A PERSON BY THE WAY THEY LOOK??

Incredible!!!

I guess if it was a woman, then it would have been good IE no concerns??

We all need to be alert about everyone, regardless of the way they dress, talk or their appearance and status. = OK!!

What made you think he was on drugs?
