Public Transportation

If you know me, you know I like public transportation. No matter how early I have to get up, or how many ghetto situations I encounter, I still don't mind.
But yesterday, I had an encounter that almost made me not want to ever use public transportation again.

Here's my story:
I was walking to the bus stop and I happened to notice that there is a closer one than the one that I usually wait at. So, I decided to wait there- it made the walk shorter. There were 3 other people at the stop- two girls, and one of them had a daughter. I was standing there minding my own business, listening to my ipod, like I usually do. I was facing towards the left. I turn around, you know just to look around, and there is this guy standing right next to me and he is staring at me like the girl from The Ring. So, I smile at him, and back up b/c I don't need some stranger all up in my face. Next thing I know this dude is standing right in front of me, again, all up in my face. So I say
"Is there something I can help you with?"
"No, I'm just waiting for the bus."
"Ok, could you not stand so close to me, please?"
"Ok." And he backs away as I slowly inch farther away from him.Once of the girls looked at me like "Girl, he crazy!" and I looked back at like "I know!"
Next thing I know this guy is up in my face AGAIN.
I say, with a firmer tone: "SIR! I asked to please not stand so close to me!"
"Ok. I'm just waiting for the bus. Do you know when it comes?"
"It should be here soon."
"Ok."
I swear to you that this dude must've been mentally ill b/c he was not getting the fact that I don't like random strangers standing only a few inches away from me while giving me the ring girl look. He keep coming closer and I had to keep asking him to move. So, two more people came to the stop right before the bus came. We all line up and this guy is behind me. All of a sudden, I feel this tug on my hair, almost like somebody was trying to bite it! In my head, I said "Oh no! This guy better think twice before he tries to do something like that!" So I turn around and say, "Did you just touch me?!" in an almost yelling voice. He says no. I get on the bus and feel the tug again and turn around and give him the evil eye. I made sure I sat in a seat where somebody was already sitting there, so that he wouldn't sit next to me. One of the girls at the stop sat in front of me and asked me if he was following me. I told her no and explained to her what happened. We concluded that he must be crazy. One of the people that came to stop afterwards sat the adjacent seat and said to me "I thought he was your boyfriend." I again had to explain that he was a crazy dude. He thought that the crazy guy was trying to smell my hair and I told him that I thought he was trying to bite it b/c it was a harsh tug! I made sure that this guy didn't follow me when I got off the bus(he didn't) and I didn't put my ipod in until I got on my transfer bus. Normally, I'm very aware of my surroundings, but I'm not too worried that something will happen to me b/c I know that I have my angels around me. But after this incident, I think I may need to start carrying that pepper spray that my mom bought for me. I'm just glad that I wasn't the only one at the stop, b/c then I would have been even more creeped out.
AND, you know I went home and hopped in the shower and thoroughly, I mean thoroughly! washed my hair! I don't know what kind of diseases that man could've had. Ugh!
