I was on the train when a man sat across from me, staring. I left and got off early to lose him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five minutes later, my husband called me in a panic: \u201cWere you on the train?!\u201d
I said yes.
He shouted, \u201cReturn to the station now, you have met my boss and didn\u2019t even say hi to him. He just called me and was upset about it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was confused. I asked him what he meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then I froze when he sent me a photo of his boss\u2014it was that same guy who\u2019d been staring at me the whole train ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told my husband his boss was a creep who had made me feel uncomfortable. He tried to brush it off, saying the guy just has a weird way of looking at people and didn\u2019t mean any harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he added that he\u2019s been working toward a promotion for months and this isn\u2019t the time to upset his boss. He told me to go back and say hi\u2014that his boss was probably still at the station or walking slowly to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told my husband I don\u2019t need to suck up to anyone, especially someone who made me feel so uneasy\u2014and I hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An hour later, my husband texted me: \u201cYou really embarrassed me today.\u201d<\/em> I haven\u2019t heard from either of them since\u2014but I did hear my husband didn\u2019t get that promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly?

I replied, \u201cThen maybe your boss should learn how not to stare at women like a creep on public transport.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
