# Woman swapped seats with ‘creepy’ man who kept leaning on girl in bus: ‘He just bumped into her too many times’

A woman said she stepped in and swapped seats with a man who kept leaning on the girl sitting beside him on a bus, after noticing him bumping into her “many times”.

In a Threads post on Oct 25, user @gentletours.co recounted the incident, saying she took a detour to keep the girl safe and even swapped seats with the man so she could “talk to her friend’s daughter”.

## ‘I hope someone will be that kaypoh auntie’

Gentletours.co said the “signs were all there”, claiming the man leaned on the girl unnecessarily and bumped into her accidentally, “just too many times”.

“Girl was just squashed up against the window, texting on her phone,” she wrote.

She shared a video showing a man in a blue shirt seated in front of her on the bus. He appears to lean towards the girl sitting beside him before shifting back upright.

Gentletours.co also attached a screenshot of a message translated into Chinese using Google Translate, which she presumably showed the girl.

It read: “Are you ok? The guy next to you was being creepy.”

“I hope that if my students, niece or kid get caught in a situation like that, someone will be that kaypoh auntie,” she said.

In the comments, gentletours.co said the incident took place on bus service 145, which was travelling from Balestier towards City Hall.

Stomp has reached out to gentletours.co and SBS Transit for comment.

“Thanks for doing this and being a protective stranger to the girl,” a user wrote.

Many others shared similar experiences on public transport, thanking her for speaking up.

In response to a comment highlighting how frequently such encounters happen, gentletours.co described it as a “nightmare” for many girls who take public transport daily.
