Creepy

Today when I was riding the bus home from work there was a "special" (mentally challenged)person who stared at me the whole time. He even moved a few seats closer to me when someone got off the bus so that he could get a better view of me. It really creeped me out. I recognized this guy. He has a job bussing tables at a little sports bar near my house. I go there with my friends quite often. He always makes a point of coming over and clearing every little thing off the table about a dozen times before one of the other employees notices and finds a new job for him.

So today I smiled politely at him, and turned away hoping that he would be happy enough with the fact that I recognized his existence and go stare at someone else. He didn't. It wasn't until I got off the bus that I noticed that reason he was looking at me so intently was because he was drawing a picture of me.

Now that *really* creeped me out.

I admit, I am not particularly comfortable around the mentally disabled. I know that isn't very politically correct, and it does make me feel like a fairly evil person when I feel myself cringe the moment a "special" person gets on the bus. But I can't help it. That's just the way I feel. I don't like that I feel that way, but I just do.

But anyway, I don't care whether you are "special" or not, you just don't do that. It's stalker-ish. The guy is probably harmless, but it made me feel really uncomfortable. I wasn't flattered by it, I thought it was creepy.

And now I feel bad for writing this at all because it sounds so ridiculous and unimportant and mean when I read it.
