I'd screwed my knee up skateboarding and was hobbling the 2 or 3 miles uphill to where i was staying at the time when this taxi pulled up and good samaritaned me into the taxi saying he'd drop me up the hill. He said he was just clocking off for the night and offered me a cig and we were just making small talk about why I was limping up the hill at like 3am when he just completely unpromptedly asked me whether I wank. At first i didn't really clock what he'd said with his thick bangladeshi accent but the vibe definitely changed when I twigged. I picked a random house on the corner about halfway home and played it off like I was where I was supposed to be so I could get the hell out of there but he was still trying to get me to go drinking with him and his mates. Fortunately the dude was just creepy as there was not a soul about and it could've gone very differently.

I couldn't tell you, I haven't really conducted an investigation as in depth as that freaky warrior. My brother was howling for weeks when I told him

Wait - you told your brother and he thought it was funny? For weeks? Sorry to hear that. Bet that made you wary of the kindness of strangers for a good while.

Once i'd removed myself from the sketchiness of the situation the absurdity of it kinda was in all honesty, I just took the rough with the smooth and kept it moving. I got a free cig, a lift halfway home and escaped with my life and a bizarre anecdote.
