Thanks, but I'd rather be stabbed in the eye by a unicorn.

The uniform that I wear to work is ugly. It's blue polyester and everything is too big on me. It makes me look really unattractive and it completely disguises the shape of my body, which I thought was a good thing. Guys won't hit on me or grope me. WRONG!!!

I got my boobie grabbed again. Someone once told me that I should be flattered by the fact that men find me attractive and want to touch me. I understand that point of view...sort of. It's just when I'm working I'm trying to be professional. I just want to do my job. You wouldn't think about gropping a police officer in uniform, so why is it okay to do it to a bus driver? Okay we don't have a gun but still, it's INAPROPRIATE!!!!!

Let me start at the beginning, which in my opinion is a good place to start.

I pick up an older man downtown and immediately notice that he is intoxicated beyond belief. He was having so much trouble walking, I wasn't even sure if he could see the seats in the bus. Finally he manages to sit fall down. As we get towards the end of the line there are only two people left on the bus, the drunk and another man. At the second to last stop the other man tells me that he may have left his umbrella on the bus and asks if I mind waiting while he searches for it. I tell him no problem. As he passes by the drunk man, the drunk reaches out and squeezes his midsection. The umbrella man smacks his hand away and tells him to fuck off. As the umbrella man passes the drunk again, he is once again squeezed. As the umbrella man gets off, he tells the drunk to get a fuckin' life.

As soon as I start moving the drunk stands up (why the hell do they have to move when the bus is in motion??) and stands right behind me. I pull into the bus loop and open the doors. The drunk then reaches out strokes my cheek, moves down to my shoulder and eventually my boob which he gives a firm grab. Turning he then attempts to step off the bus but instead faceplants! That's karma for ya! I immediately call the police and shortly after they arrive they confirm that they've caught him. I'm assuming it wasn't too difficult seeing as he could hardly take two steps without succumbing to gravity.

Update: The case went to court last week and I took the stand against him. Fuckin' scary shit. I hope I never have to go through it again. All in all the case went well and hopefully he'll be convicted.
