So I was at work tonight, and was picking up a passenger from a local restaurant...as he comes out, another guy happens to leave with him. I greet my passenger, and as he's boarding I notice the second guy is watching me from the window next to the bus door...
He is obviously glaring at me.
"Oh well", I think. But I do make eye contact with him, long enough to let him know I'm watching him, too. Passenger gets in, sits down, I finish my paperwork, and notice Glaring Guy has moved to the 1 o'clock of the bus (note to self: there are no video cameras recording there)...and the internal floodlight over the driver's seat is on. So obviously he wanted a real good look at me...ok buddy, you get a look. I eyeballed him again, then mouthed "Hi", just like if he was Staff for the passenger. I hold his gaze for a 2-count, glance at my clipboard, shut the door and turn off the floodlight.
And I drove away.
The guy was...well I'm not sure yet. But he knows that I know that he was potentially hostile, and I am not willing to back down from haters.
The rest of the evening I could only smile at how impotent that guy was. "Glaring" was all he could muster to show his displeasure with me.
