Harassment on the bus?

A disgusting, unkempt man always sits next to me on the bus, even though the bus is empty and there's plenty of space. When he gets the chance, he sits close to me and cuddles up to me. I know there may be various reasons for his unkempt appearance, but I feel harassed by him. It's not just me. At a women's group meeting at my university, several women reported feeling harassed in this way. It might be the same man, but I don't think he's homeless because he always gets on at the same place. Of course, I change seats straight away, but taking a different bus isn't always an option; he can get on anywhere else. My question is, what else can I do to stop this, and also to protect other women?

Ask him what position “Sittiche” in Chap probably would take. A bit can be flogged You then mention that “someone” would like to get to know him if he wanted to remain so intrusive.

However, it should be only a man who is completely unknown to you, and not a somewhat sloppy communion of great unpopularity in your teaching institution.

As long as the person does not act illegally / criminally, the police, as well as the driving personnel, are unfortunately bound the hands relatively .

(That’s why my proposal with the little lie…)

You seem to have a kind of conversational round about it because of this. Do you not know any people with a somewhat rougher appearance that “he” doesn’t know, where then, by chance, you could get in between for a discreet intimidation? Gameplay you would have to discuss internally in advance )

Talk to the bus driver when it comes to more of you, it happens again and again and again is the same.

In doubt, you talk to the competent police station (not over the 110 call!). It’s already worth checking when he does it more often.

If he only sits near you or beside you, you can’t do anything. In the open, everyone can choose a seat and sit outside, it seems nothing.

Otherwise, if you get up, change the place and he follows you again. But if he only sits next to you, he doesn’t make anything forbidden

If you don’t get the other people sitting next to you in the ÖPNV, you need to buy a car.

Did you read the text? It’s about more than just people sit next to them.

What did he do, put her on an attractive conversation? The guy can sit on the bus where he wants, as long as he’s normal.

What’s close to the cuddly? Is he right on your seat or is he sitting on the seat next to you? What if you change the seat?

Then I see a problem.

Well, I can hardly guess how wide the seats are on the bus and whether you are touched automatically. By the way, I have a similar problem with foreign people in close space. I hate the smell of cheap perfume and deo. That’s why I’d never go to ÖPNV.

Just because it’s not forbidden, it doesn’t mean you can’t resist.

But completely legal

But it’s not forbidden as long as he keeps himself normal. And only that is of relevance.

Putting yourself in the empty bus again and again next to it is NO normal behavior.

Tell the man clearly and clearly that you don’t want him to sit next to you. Prove him that there are enough other seats free.

Talk to me when he wants to sit next to you.

He would stink like a wet fox.

I want you to have a shower.

No, that’s an insult. You’d also want to be so keen to speak publicly.
