I don't know if this happens a lot to you, because it does to me, but that doesn't make the occurence any less wierd.

See, when you're walking around campus, minding your own business, and a gold car stops by, driver rolls down the window, leans over and says "Excuse Me" you usually expect it to be followed by "could you tell me how to get to..." so and so location on campus. You just tell him where to go, and part ways.

But when a thirtyish, pockmarked, polo-clad stranger man says, "Hey, you're from MassComm right?" And you've never seen him before, you can't help but hear the warning bells in your head.

And then, "Wala lang, familiar ka kasi." 

And then, "What's your course ba?"

"Film?" No, Journ, I say. 

Is there a point to this? and your face says it. So he looks through the windshield and you wait stupidly for the "I'm just a creepy guy who stops women around campus lang, so anyway it was nice to chat, good-bye!"

Instead, he says, "Where are you going? Katipunan?"

Um.... Vinzons? Which is like, thirty feet away.

And he goes, "Oh. Do you need a lift?"

O-kaaay. Running away now.

But you have to be polite with these people because if they're psychos, they might get pissed off and kill you in a dark corner someday. I said no but thanks!!!!! And sprinted away.

Maybe hookas could get used to that, but I never do.
