    If you're sitting in a bus or train and the seat next to you is empty, sit in the outside (aisle) seat. If someone wants to sit next to you, offer them the window seat so you're not trapped. If they don't want that, too bad. They can move on.
    If someone insists you give them your phone number or any other info, firmly say "I don't give out personal information to strangers, no exceptions. " Repeat 'no exceptions' like a broken record if they keep asking and you can't walk away immediately.
    Quit assuming because someone is larger, that you are powerless against them. There are many sensitive spots on the human body. Educate yourself on simple self defense techniques and carry a taser, pepper spray, or other legal weapon that can be deployed at a distance. If you have a pocket knife, keep it in your hand if you're walking by yourself.
    Don't be afraid of hurting someone's feelings or causing a scene. If a person is on the up and up, they will respect your boundaries.
    Well lit spaces, populated areas and busy streets are your friends. Stop traveling on side streets, shortcuts and stop sitting in deserted spaces/empty cars.
    Pay attention to your surroundings!!!! If it doesn't look/feel right, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!

      @girlwithoutafairy 4 года назад +5

      Are you a parent? Think about having a kid who's been through something like this. You have 2 options. Acknowledge the severity of the situation which will further increase your child's paranoia afterward or try to comfort them by "downplaying" the severity. The parent and the child both will still know how severe the situation was. It's not a denial of what happened. It's an effort to calm your kid down so they can realize they're safe now.

      Im a parent here, totally understand what you are saying. But at the same time that also makes the child feel like they are alone and that you dont have their back. They need to know the severity of situations so they dont make the mistake of downplaying future situations which will have horrible consequences. Take that opportunity to teach them on what to do and how to better handle things and themselves.

    I need to inform any women listening to this that keys between your fingers will hurt you more than it will hurt a potential attacker. Please don't do this. Now, on the other hand if you have a large key chain, you can hold onto that and swing the keys into your attacker's face. A pair of steel-toed boots are good for kicking shins if you can't reach the balls. You have a set of nails. Imagine digging them into the attacker's bones. You won't actually, but you will scratch much more deeply than if you only think of scratching their skin. Same with biting. Also, it may be tempting to use a knife, but that can be taken from you easily. Save knives for when you're down on the ground and he's up close.

      Thank you for this post. Just last week I was telling women I know the same thing because it’s a common misconception that you can do the keys between the knuckles thing. You’ll just stab your own palm. You’d be better off holding the key like a knife and slashing or stabbing. There’s a video on YT from a karate instructor that shows you how. Also, like someone else said, go for the eyes or the throat. Ears rip off rather easily too. Stomping on balls will buy you some time as they writhe in agony. Make sure you’re always aware of your surroundings, and don’t fumble for your keys when walking to your car or home. Get your keys ready before you leave anywhere. Also, I’ve heard from a former policeman, instead of “help”, yell “fire”. I’m not so sure about that one, but in my opinion, if you can fight for yourself, you’re better off than doing nothing and hoping a bystander gets off their ass to help. That’s a bonus you shouldn’t count on.

    • @WitchVine
      @WitchVine 4 года назад +3

      @TheCatsMeow PrettyHorses Well, if there are any men putting keys between their fingers, they can put two and two together from what I've written.
      However, the vast majority of people doing this are women, as most men think they'll be fine with their own fists or a pocket knife for protection (there are problems with that too, but they weren't brought up in the video, so I had no reason to address them). Thus, my comment was addressed to women.
      If men think that because my comment was addressed to women, that men will magically be okay to use keys between their fingers, then I really can't help them.

    • @WitchVine
      @WitchVine 4 года назад +6

      @TheCatsMeow PrettyHorses Female bones have lower density than male bones. Women also have less muscle mass and less upper body strength. We're better swimmers, better climbers, we have better immune systems, and we're more likely to survive famine. So you're correct that we are not "weak", but no, the force of our punch is not the same as men's.
      Doesn't mean you can't use your body in other ways to defend yourself (knees and elbows, finger jab, teeth and nails, etc.) but a woman relying on punches against a male attacker would not be a good idea.

Women who are being preyed upon don't want to be rude to a man because she's afraid of what he might do. And then to have someone downplay the situation like its not a big deal is frustrating. No one has a right to downplay a situation of another person that is visibly scared. Trust me, being a woman is frightening. Mostly because we stand a very slim chance of getting away from a man, unless we have a gun on us. I know its difficult to put yourself in someone else's shoes, but maybe try it before making such remarks.

      Under EXTREMELY rare conditions, like late night trains running on smaller branch lines, pacer trains will not stop at stations. They'll just roll slowly through the stations, if no one's on the platform or if no one bought a ticket for that stop they'll just keep going, and if you wanted to get off a stop earlier you'd prolly need to let the guard know. This is like, a VERY rare occurrence though, and this is my really struggling to think of a situation similar to the one described.

It was already around 12 o'clock and there was train was as good as empty. So I took a seed and played some angry birds on my phone, after about 10 minutes some sort of guy walked up to me, and I was pretty sure he was on some sort of drug because the way he walked up to me was creepy as f, yet I didn't freak out or anything he just asked me some questions like where does the train stop next and how late. After I have him the information he just said "okey your soul will be eaten tonight" and walked away. That's not even the fucked up part after I arrived in my home town around 01:34 I walked of the station and crossed a couple of streets i noticed that that fucker was following me, so this time I was panicking because I live like a 5 minute walk away from the station, so I was already pretty close and I didn't want him know where I live. So I dicided to run to nearest shop, luckily he lost me or something. I honestly don't want to know what happened if I didn't noticed him.

      Well, that probably has a lot to do with why these people have these stories to tell in the first place. If a pushy or creepy guy starts messing with someone, only for their target to IMMEDIATELY shut them down in a completely fearless and confident manner, there's no real way for a "scary story" to develop.
      On the other hand, if someone is fearful or timid or subservient, it's a lot easier for another person to get in their personal space, mess with them, and escalate the situation. Things get prolonged in a way that allows a "plot" to develop and thicken. The end result: A "scary story" to share and eventually get read on RUclips.

That girl needs to learn to speak up for herself though cause I could tell how that would of panned out on the train. She allowed him to sit next to her, if anyone was to say something he would return with she said it's ok to sit here and then she would say nothing of course so... And she doesn't know that the bald guy wouldn't of done anything if things popped off, and he might know that by confronting him things would escalate and he's not trying to get stabbed over you not having to have some guy ask you a random question every 3 minutes.

    Some of the girls in these stories tick me off. If you act like a helpless target you become a target. Making “panic eyes” at random strangers isn’t a way to save yourself. Most people looked away not because they are heartless, but because they didn’t know why you were looking at them weird and weren’t aware of what the hell “panic eyes” are. Predators prey on the weak. Don’t make yourself a victim.

      Forgot what seriel killer it was but...
      There is a account of a chick being woken up by some tapping at her window. She ignored it at first thinking it was her bf messing with her. But after a bit she checks it to find a stranger at her window. Annoyed at being awoken the girl begins cursing the guy out and slams the blinds shut.
      This likely made her appear too much of a hassel to deal with so the murderer moved on. Althrough not always the case, by making oneself a difficult target it may be the difference between being a victim or getting through the event unscathed.

She sounds needy (how is it not fair for them to do their own thing when SHE pushed in on THEIR trip?), and it seems like they just made excuses to get away from her. I'm a woman who travels alone, so I know that if we go it alone, we need to be prepared to protect ourselves. Never at any point did she go to an authority figure about anything! Instead, she just acted pushy and jumped into people's personal space. She was an idiot and expected people to take up the slack!

      @@LadyAstarionAncunin after coming back for a year I think I have changed perspective on what I wrote. You made some pretty good points that are worth looking into. You’re right- at NO point did she go to the higher ups and tell them of her situation prior to it happening. It would be interesting to hear the other girls’ POV on why they decided to ditch her. Chances are that it could’ve been the girl who was acting entitled and being bossy over them in their trip. Unfortunately we will never know but now that I look back at my comment, I cringe a little at what I wrote. I guess I was so set on hating the girls cause I have experienced abandonment at several points in my life that they were seen as the bad guys. (It still isn’t right that they abandoned her either) but I don’t know. Really sucks all the same that it happened to her

    These stories are a part of why I'm still single, I feel awful trying to approach a woman on a night out worrying that she will feel creeped out or uncomfortable because they have to be on alert all the time due to actual creeps.

    Omg I am so annoyed with the girl that was studying abroad! If you are not mature, you should not have gone!
    If you couldn’t make friends - it’s not the schools fault! This two girls you tried to get in trouble - it wasn’t their fault you had no $ to change your ticket nor pay for a hotel/hostel etc.. you knew this schools policy ! ( it’s called a job or ask parents for few $)
    It wasn’t the 2 guys on trail job to be kind and protect you ( would have been nice but it’s not their job) close the curtain yourself! And you woke up people to tell them you are going to the bathroom- and shocker they were annoyed! Omg!!
    The guy who followed you - singled you out cause you couldn’t stand up to even close the curtain!
    I know plenty of people who made friends ( for life) and absolutely loved their time in Europe without expecting others to stand up for them! 🙄
    Lol rant over! Thank you!
    Ps thank you for amazing stories!!

    People calling kids "tots" puts my teeth on edge. The creeper on the train calling little kids "sexy" needed his throat opened the hard way. He thought he was going to have his way; that's why he started acting sober. That thing shouldn't be around people.

      @Thornback I agree, but I just need to turn on the news anytime I want to hear tales of abysmal human behaviour. But that's more depressing than scary.

    I have an actual scary train story..... The wife and I road an amtrak train from Centralia IL to Chicago IL. The ride was fun af until the scary part...... Beers were like 7$ each for a 16oz cup and mixed drinks were even more scary than that! 😂 😂 😂 😂
