Hello,

I'm in a long distance relationship, today I am going out just going to have a nice day and meeting up with my male friend, whom I have known for over 16 years now.

I was on the escelators and no one else was on it. I made a picture of myself to show to my relationship, because we actually met on an escalator when we were at an airport. She lost balance and I was standing behind her, and was able to prevent her from falling. After that we talked a bit.

Anyway so I wanted to take a selfie on an escalator and since no one was on it, I did it. A moment later I get off and walk my way to the train. Suddenly someone shouts hey, I think it's not meant for me, and just walk on. I then stop by the train platform and a woman walks up to me, and calls me a pervert.

My first impulse was to argue it, show her I was making a selfie of myself on the escalator, but then I was like... She wouldn't believe me anyway so I just ignored it. Honestly I don't even know where she was standing as she was not on the escalator yet.

I see women making selfies all the time and it's fine. However every man is a predatory pervert. This was just some old woman who maybe had a bad morning or whatever. I have yet to tell my girlfriend what happened but I'm embarrassed. I want to explain to her though that we should stop sending selfies on escalators when we are one. It holds symbolic meaning for us, but I just got a job after a hard time of looking for one. I'm now already paranoid she might have filmed me or whatever and puts me on the internet or something.

What was supposed to be a nice day is all sour now.
