    This morning I got on a very busy train, so decided to go and sit in first class. Sitting opposite me was a casually dressed, middle aged black guy. I thought nothing of it but could feel him looking at me, so I looked up at him briefly.

    Then I took my jacket off, folded it up and put it on the seat next to me. While I was doing that I could feel him looking at me again. So I glanced up again at him.

    At that point he said something, but I couldn't make it out so I asked him to say it again. He said.... "Don't worry, I'm not going to rob you." If he'd have had a smile on his face I'd have laughed with him, but he was deadly serious. I asked him what on earth he was on about and he said "You were looking up at me while putting your jacket down, as if I was going to rob it - it's 2016, relax".

    Hahaha, fuck me. Talk about a chip on his shoulder, the poor guy. I told him that I was absolutely not thinking anything of the sort, and it is indeed 2016, and "Dude - that was a ridiculous thing to say".

    Funny.

    Bit sad.

    Bizarre.

    • I can be rather hostile, and have a rather angry face, so ultimately my hostility brought out his own paranoia about being black, I guess. Interesting exchange.set
    • I almost told him to take it, I have plenty more at home at my cottage in the Cotswolds, and it was probably a bit warm for golf today anyway.set
    • Of course he was going to rob you, and he did - of your heart and soul for humanity!Ianbolton
    • But seriously, that's sad man.Ianbolton

    • alas people who have experienced a lot of discrimination may occasionally misunderstand and project their fears onto innocent bystanders - not rocket sciencefadein11
    • interesting why you would even post this and not just forget it right away.fadein11
    • Yes, fadein the village idiot, that's exactly what I said.set
    • eh? I didn't repeat what you said - was just sharing my thoughts on why he reacted like that - especially if you had your moody face on. What the fuck are youfadein11
    • on about? weirdo. bizarre post - move on - who cares. be thankful you do not feel like that.fadein11
    • Christ you're thick.set

    • He got off easy. If it had been Ben he would have punished him with the kung fu like he did with that old crazy lady on the subway.ORAZAL

    • Lol what the fuck is going on with the note.
      Would totally be a plot twist if set robs him instead.      pango
    • I often carry a grumpy face in public (I think I get it from my dad) Always leads to random comments here and there. I would chalk it up to a misunderstanding..sofakingback
    • but I can see how it would stay with you. Just remember, it wasn't personal, he doesn't know you... or that you were gonna rob him instead. You fuckin thief. :Dsofakingback
    • I didn't take it personally in the least. Just thought it a rather interesting misunderstanding. Ultimately caused by my own hostility. Lesson of the day.set
    • I know exactly why he felt that way... When you have people grab their bags, cross streets and squeeze into seat when there plenty of space next to you...necromation
    • people locks their cars when i walk by... fuckers...pango
    • Mr problem is that when someone is staring at me, instead of smiling at them like someone lovely like my girlfriend would...set
    • I stare back with a 'what the fuck are you looking at' face. I have the curse of the cunt.set
    • I have the same face sometimes. And I have eyebrows like Bert from sesame street.sureshot
