Creepy dude while waiting for train, who stole my friend's wrist cuff.
Let's not meet again.
This happened approx 18 years ago in 2008. I honestly cannot believe it has been that long, typing it.
Me and my good friend decided to go to one of our fave places in Sydney, Australia, a suburb called Newtown. Back then it had a more alternative scene with cool shops, bars and unique finds in Gothic shops. They even used to have a festical called "Under the blue moon" festival. Unfortunately Newtown has completely changed these days.
We were about 17 and 18 years old then.
We were on holidays from school (I was older and in my final year of school being 18 btw)
We had finished up checking out all our usual shops for the day, checked out new places and got some food.
We headed back to the train station where we would get the train home.
Well this is where it got creepy.
It was around 6pm and just getting dark. We were sitting on the platform waiting.
Now, my friend and I dressed kinda alternative then (and still do to a degree) and we both had those spikey wrist cuffs on with fake metal spikes. I should mention my friend and I are both female.
This older man, i would say 60-70? Came and sit near us. We both noticed and kinda eyeballed each other about how close he was, trying to ignore him and chatted to ourselves.
I honestly forget how this old st7arted up- but he suddenly turned to us and said "WeLL YOUNG LADIES, you shouldn't be out at this time- you see there are many weirdos here (clearly not realising we can be weird too) but this was next level.
He continued on, "NOW if you are EVER IN DaNGER YOU Run. RuN and don't look back ever. THE moment YOUUUU LOOK BACK that is when a Creeper gets you BaBY girl" And he then proceeded to kiss my shoulder. Has this guy looked in the mirror? Nope. He clearly is the predetor. I was horrified and I went in flight mode.
He keep babbling on about safety, and then he grabbed my friend's wrist -- where she was wearing her spikey wrist cuff, and he took it off and said "THESE CAN be Used as a weapon ya know?!?! !!!! And he then threw my friends wrist cuff thing on the train tracks. Took it off her wrist and threw it.
We were both like what the actual fuck.
Clearly this guy was on something. I whispered to her let's go to the station guard.. and before we could our train pulled in.
We ran to the end carriage far from the creeper dude as we were scared as fuck that he would follow us onto the train. Luckily he did not. As we rode past him, we flipped him off from inside the carriage but he was muttering to himself by then and did not notice.
We have returned to Newtown many times since. Luckily our creeper dude has never been there again.
And RIP to my friend's spikey wrist cuff.
Creepy "advice" giving guy that kissed my shoulder, Let's not meet again.
