Harassment on the road
While biking to work today, I passed a kuya on his bike. I didn't take notice of him since there are plenty who bike on that busy road. Seconds later, I hear him behind me making funny noises. I ignore him, thinking he's reacting to a motorist on the road. Then he's beside me, looking straight at me and moaning. Ugh. I was too shocked and appalled to react, so I pedaled faster, thinking I could get away from him. Due to the morning traffic, no such luck. He was able to keep up with me, looked straight at me and continued to moan. I flipped him the finger, to which he didn't care. He then overtook me, laughing, refusing to let me pass, then decided to hump his seat. Utterly disgusting. Thank God I had to make a right. I made a right turn, heard him laughing and shouting at me, "Teh! San ka pupunta?" I got to my office, shaking in anger, only then realizing what I should have done: spit at him, kick his bike, throw water at him. Ugh. I don't think I've ever felt so violated
