    Do you guys have any stories of being harassed for reading in public?

    I read a lot but once in a while, reading in public have gotten some unwanted attention.
    Here are my stories:
    This was in Australia and I'm Asian. I was reading in public and this Latina girl suddenly sat next to me. I ignored her and while I was debating whether to walk away, she started throwing herself at me and closed the book. Because I'm a man, of course I cannot be physically aggressive against her. That annoyed me a bit. The girl was prob drunk but that's not an excuse.

    Otherwise, when I was reading a book at the gym lounge/waiting room, this gym patron I used to say hello to was like "Oh my god!!! You're reading a book!!!! Who does that!?" I gave him the coldest glare and haven't spoken to him since.
