a couple times I've seen people quite obviously playing 'pocket pool' on the c-train. One time the guy was staring at the girl across from him (on the old style cars with facing benches) until my friend told him to stop.

I had a guy playing with my hair on a bus a long time ago. I felt it though and asked what he was doing. He said that it was okay, he just had a hair fetish. It was creepy. I went and sat up front with the bus driver and talked to him about it. He didn't seem to care at all. I got off the bus a little freaked out, but nothing happened with it. Not sure what you are supposed to do with that situation? It definitely throws you though.

A little over 20 years ago, I waitressed in a truck stop, north of Peace River (High Level - people rarely seem to know where it is though). I soon found out the meaning of 'rig pig' - man, they were awful sometimes. But, they were not nearly as bad as this one old booger who used to show up from deep in the back of nowhere somewhere up there. He was disgusting. We always flipped a coin to see who had to serve him, regardless of what section he sat in. There was always furtive movement under the table. Always. And, he leered at you when you approached. And, he reeked to high frigging heaven. He was seriously the most disgusting customer we ever had. 'Rig pigs' were a dream after Goat Man had been in.
He was nicknamed Goat Man because it was alleged some of his best friends were goats, at some point, if you catch my drift. I don't know if that was true but it surely didn't do him any favors.
And then one day, he came in and we flipped the coin as we always did and my Anne lost that coin toss. This was the one time he decided that furtive was too low key and he was full on going at it, in plain sight, once you got close enough to the booth to see. He'd chosen a back booth this time, which was unusual. He usually sat nearest the entrance doors. Yeah. The back booth was so he could have at, without everyone seeing. Just those lucky enough to get close enough to the table could see. Which was Anne.
Anne, who promptly poured the jug of water she was carrying, right in his crotch. He was lucky it wasn't the pot of coffee she was carrying in her other hand. Cops were called, he was hauled off and we never saw him in the restaurant again. Thank friggin' Maude for that.
That guy didn't need a beatdown, he needs mental help. Anyone who would do that has issues, it wasn't in a playful haha look what I just did kind of way. Confronting that guy in an aggressive manner would only make him snap in a week or two, whoever he is, he needs help.
Of all the sick fantasies in the world , playing with the hair of an unknowing female is one where the person really shouldn't have to endure a beating. Lets save our rage for the real predators out there.
Sometimes in a creepy yet harmless incident such as this it is best to stay vigilant and ensure the act doesn't progress any further. Say the dude Follows the female off the train. Then its time to alert a) the female first. b) authorities if present. But in no way should the "attacker" be harmed or even apprehended in a citizens arrest. The cops would kindly thank-you for wasting their time. Always let the victim decide if they wish to pursue any further action.
Personally I would have made the person aware that someone is watching by maybe asking "Hey man, do you know that girl?". Even then that's a sketchy tactic because you have no idea what you're dealing with.
The video itself was cut out of youtube before I could fully watch it and read the comments but apparently this person is mentally handicapped and is rather harmless save the fact that he plays with girls hair which is weird..
I've been in security longer than a decade and have learned its best to observe and report before getting heavy handed with anyone. Best to save your energy for a real intervention if an instance like that progresses into a really dangerous situation.

I think a lot of this is down to misunderstandings.
I remember coming home from Watchman's on 17th after one of their 25 cent wing nights, and some girl on the bus giving me flack for playing with her hair.
Guaranteed she went home and spent the evening licking hot sauce out of her ponytail, thinking of me while she did it.
Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is. People have to procreate, one way or another. It's just a shame the world is so damned uptight that a guy can't appreciate a girl without her getting all offended.
Hair is just dead cells anyway.

Might of helped if you didnt use her hair as a napkin!
I was waiting for the people to defend the guy because he is mentally ill. If this guy cannot control himself, he has no business in public. A fetish is one thing, as soon as you cross the line to touching someone else (without their consent) you are now an abuser.
Of course video taping is a great way to deal with it, there are many other people who would have ended the situation using violence. Both have their purposes.
I once caught a guy at a superstore groping the bulk buns in the bakery. I watched for a minute or so - the guy was getting off on touching the baked goods. I stopped him and got security, I don't know what happened. I regret not telling police and leaving it with the store. I told them they MUST destroy all the baked goods, who knows what he was really up to.

Nage, in your superstore example, what would the police do? Honest question, the most than the store could do is to destroy the buns in question, but I am sure the police have more important actual crimes to attend to. Not saying it isn't weird but molesting a baked good isn't against the law to the best of my knowledge, unless he was exposing himself in the process.
A little bit on the topic of hair fetishes and the mentally challenged...
A friend of mine worked at a home for 3 young men with mental difficulties in the NW, one of them had a strong hair fetish with the ladies. The informal rule was that the female workers had to ponytail it. He would occasionally still try to grab at hair, where all you could do is remind him of the rules("We don't grab hair") and deflect his arms. But ya know, it was still much better then the young man who had to have all the kitchen knives under lock and key, had to be locked at night in his bedroom, and where on occasion in the night he would throw his shat all over his room.
I am curious to know why the person video taping the c-train incident did not take a video of the man's face at the end.
Minnie - Did you guys throw a "Goat-man Exodus" party for Anne?

nobody is defending, simply creating more viable solutions than making a huge overreaction that solves nothing.

Thanked for hilariousness.
"You MUST destroy all the baked goods!"
Tell me you actually said that.
Seriously though, this is certainly a creepy story, but do you really think this guy should be locked up for good? Or maybe you could explain what you mean by "no business in public", because that to me means "not allowed outside".

I remember seeing a news story about a guy who had a thing where he had an uncontrollable urge to touch other people with his feet. They said that it was a form of Tourette's. The thing is, the guy was also a brilliant doctor and so the people he worked with allowed him some freedom to satisfy his ticks.

Some people are just creepy perverts. There isn't always an underlying issue.
Old men in Italy and Greece are known for jacking their hogs on women's backs in public festivals and large crowds for no other reason than the fact they are dirty old creeps. This recent trend of blaming of every single criminal and unusual act on mental illness is becoming a bit lame. Yes, mental illnesses exist. No, it is not an escape clause for everything horrible disgusting thing ever done. You can place a mental illness/disorder tag on virtually every single thing nowadays. Some people are just disgusting perverted freaks, and that's as deep as it goes.
