ok so um. this is embarrassing, idk if you guys remember but a while back i was having an issue with a stalker at the bus stop, and after a bunch of very very generous help i started taking an uber to school to avoid this guy. i kinda naively assumed that if i didnt show up for a few weeks hed just sorta give up but evidently the problem has not solved itself
a couple weeks ago i ran out of uber money and i started taking the bus again like i intended to, but its been getting worse- this old dude is still showing up and invading my personal space and hitting on me and following me around. sometimes i think im in the clear, but hes already on the bus, or hes waiting at my second stop, and today he even got on the next bus with me. i was afraid to get off because i thought he would follow me if i did, and campus seemed safer than a random bus stop, but now im worried he’ll be waiting there. its making me beyond paranoid, i already bought pepper spray and everything, this was the final straw, i literally dont think i can tolerate this anymore but i dont really have other options aside from uber or taxi
the good news is that im hopefully moving sometime within the next month or so, but i dont know exactly when so i still need to uber to and from class in the meantime so… yeah. just like last time, if anyone has a dollar or two to spare i would reaaallly appreciate it, and of course any boosts help a lot too and i appreciate that help just as much. my paypal is https://www.paypal.me/finnhs
please note! this post is being made on october 27th 2021, if you happen to see it over a month or so from now just disregard it please! and if you notice that my paypal link isnt working its probably because i turned it off, i dont want to take any more than ill need here. im sorry to do this twice, but thank you again everyone
You absolutely NEED to tell the bus driver what is going on, every single time, even if it’s a different driver. In addition, you need to call the bus company and ask for help. They may be able to send a supervisor out to speak with him, they may be able to exclude him from service or even have him charged by the police. You are allowed to ask for help, and I for one am always more than happy to kick a creep off my bus - but that only works if you tell us what’s going on.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, you deserve to feel safe and to ride the bus in peace.
