Bridge of Djoum Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 1 minute ago, Governor Tarkin said: Some folk are painfully shy, some are utterly awkward, and some are just plain shite at even the most basic communication (as many of the contributions to this thread so vividly illustrate). I'd be willing to cut the guy a wee bit of slack without feeling the need to villify the lassie for coming across as a bit of a tit too. I agree with what you say, totally. However, I think the best and easiest solution would be to work on the inadequacies in yourself rather than pass creepy notes to absolute strangers.

I honestly don't believe that there is a great deal of difference between the two. To be honest, someone using the official Metro 'Rush Hour Crush' outlet to convey affection with vocabulary like 'hot girl in maroon skirt on 22 to the gyle; drink sometime?' sounds a heck of a lot more creepy than some guy leaving a note requesting a girl to smile once in a while.

Do those calling him a creep consider that he might be painfully shy, and/or physically unable to speak,and did not want to be there when she opened it, in case of a negative reaction, which is obviously what he got.
