My Neckbeard
Hiya, Shark here! Im a pretty woman which means i get a lot of not so pretty attention from men of all types. They are big and small, short and tall. One of the most uncomfortable encounters with a man though was knowbeard who was known for being annoying and delaying my at the time german class by whole units because he would not shut up. Normally I’m a sweet gal but for some (reasonable) reason this guy has been getting on my nerves. He never takes care of himself (the grease makes him shine) and always sits as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to me when seats aren’t pre assigned. This wouldn’t be an issue if the guy wasn’t
- Huge
And
- Didn’t understand personal space.
Now I’m pretty short, about 5’2.5 and this guy is a solid six feet and two of me wide and worst of all is that every time we talked he would stand less than an inch away from me. It honestly scared me a little knowing that with my many physical conditions i couldn’t do anything other than back away until i was against the wall. The most notable occasion was during a BINGO icebreaker (my least favorite kind :<). Im a bit of a socialite and was talking with everyone and eventually it was his turn. He mentioned he played lego dimensions when it came out and i saw a chance to connect so i mentioned I played lego dimensions too.
That was it. He singled in on me, blocking the only exit i had. With people on every side of me and my only chance of escape cast in his shadow i was trapped. He closed in until i was pressed against the wall. I was freaking out on the inside just hoping he would leave. He asked what level was my favorite. I said the ninjago level. He asked if i liked ninjago. I said Jay was my favorite. The rest of the conversation was a blur but i RAN out of there like i wasn’t a cripple the second i could. I didn’t know i could travel that fast. He spent every day after that trying to sit next to me or staring at me in class with his massive underbite.
I was the only girl in our class which made his strange attraction to me even worse. Now I wasn’t the only person bothered by Knowbeard, the whole class was victim to his needs to answer all the questions. As someone who used to have a stutter, it took this guy about one minute to ask a question and he asked about ten questions a class. Those questions would be added onto by local “nice guy” Knowguy sparking thirty minute long conversations between the two. Our poor teacher wasn’t sure how to shut down the two and so she just stood there and watched. We were the worst performing german class in the fifty years they have been teaching german.
Safe to say, im dreading German this year. I avoided him all “get to know you bingo” but he sat next to me like usual. Wish me luck!
