Just to be clear, this guy’s not leaving a mess behind, is he? Because that’s just way too gross for me.

I’d not be bothered at all if someone just jerked this guy off the car. He has it coming.

No mess. No blatant exposure. It all stays in his pants. Still gross, though.

> But there is another very compelling and moving thread [elsewhere on the board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=682232) where people express empathy not only for a fellow Doper but also a covicted sex offender and suspected pedophile.

Don’t you think there might be a wee bit of difference between committing suicide because you are a pedophile, and getting busted for bopping the baloney on public transport?

If **SeaDragonTattoo** had started the thread by saying “my friend just got scared off the bus by a passenger who didn’t care for him jerking off”, I don’t think it would have had the same cachet. YMMV.

If you aren’t going to start carrying a knife, I think Mace is indicated here.

And good on ya for speaking up in the first place!

Just wanted to point out the amusing username / thread topic overlap. 😉
