You Have Some Dirt on your Face

Yesterday morning, as I was on my way to Brooklyn, I encountered a disgusting man with smirk in the Bowery Street J-M-Z train station. On the outside, he appeared as a normal middle age man. He was half bald with glasses and an ipod. When I first saw him, I thought his smirk was suspicious and thus ignored him by plugging in my own mp3 player. Before I knew it however, this man tapped me on the shoulder and asked me in perfect English, "Hi, are you going home? Are you Chinese?" I half- answered him, "uh..yea..no.." and he questioned again but this time in Chinese, "Do you go to school?" I ignored him, and as I was about to walk away, he placed his thumb on my left cheek and rubbed it saying "You have some dirt on your face." Of course, not liking that he's a complete stranger to me (and the fact that I don't have dirt on my face) I quickly knocked his hand out of my way, but before I knew it, he placed his hand on my left breast!! I was so disgusted by his behavior, I quickly shoved his hand away from me and told him in the bravest tone I can conjure, "DON'T TOUCH ME! F%@K OFF!" Unfortunately, because there was only one other guy around, who had his ipod on and was reading, this disgusting old man had the nerve to smile back at me!

I was so appalled and disgusted by this man, I didn't even think about getting his picture, all I wanted to do was to get away from this pedophile. However, if I am to ever spot him again, I'll surely take his picture, and let the MTA booth guy know that there are sexual predators lurking in his very own station!
