After reading this, I think I need further therapy.
And Mrs. Espo, those are just my two most shameful incidents. I don't count ANY train incidents, because I think they are in a class of their own.
As my uncle says, 'riding that iron horse will kill us all one day. Turns good people bad.'
I use that as my defense- anything that happens on the train, is because of the train.
I hope God is so forgiving.

Okay, ESPO, I have gotten into more fights on the LIRR and the subway than I can count. Once I actually punched a man in the face for spitting sunflower seeds on the floor.
I mean, he was standing with his back to the door, eating seeds, and spitting them on the floor right in front of the door. So everyone who got off had to walk through his spitty mess. I asked him what the F he was doing. I said, I have to take this train every day. Do you really think it's proper to spit your seeds on the ground?
So he spit a seed at me.
I didn't even think about it. Before I knew what was happenning, I punched him in the face. His head swung back and hit the bar by the door, so I kind of got a two-fer. I hit him, then his head hit the metal bar.
Like a complete imbecile, I got off the train and started screaming for him to get off. I think about it now, and thank god he didn't hit me back, because he would have killed me. I just was so mad I couldn't see.
Another time, I got into the train and it was mobbed. I had my ipod on. I walked into the corner by the subway door, and people piled in. I could NOT have moved another inch. This lady turns around and starts yelling in my face with the meanest look, but I couldn't hear her. I took off my headphones and asked her nicely (not to be nice, but because it pisses people off, and I KNEW she said something mean) if she thought she wanted to repeat what she said.
She said 'I SAID MOVE YOUR FAT *** IN'. Now, I may be on the chub side, but I was standing so far out of everyone's way that she clearly was just one of those people who wanted to be mean to someone they didn't think would have the balls to respond.
I went off, but in a contained, insane person way. I said 'I'm not going to bother all of these people. But I'm going to wait on the train until you get off, and when you do, I'm going to kill you.' She kept pushing me- literally pushing me. I did nothing. I just looked at her and smiled. Then I held onto the post and she punched my hand. This was the best- she dropped her purse, and her cell phone dropped out, which I kicked across the crowded subway. She looked like a fool trying to find it.
Now she started to look scared, because I was laughing like a crazy person. I saw her start to move around Grand Central, so I got out first and stood at the foot of the stairs and waited for her. I walked up the stairs next to her, and she put a hand on me to sort of push me away, so I started pushing her back. She said 'Can't you get over it?'
That's what killed me. SHE starts in on a complete stranger, and then when SHE's realizing she made a stupid move, I'M supposed to get over it???
I followed her all the way up to the street. At this point, she's hysterical crying and runs up to some cops. I follow her, and she's saying I threatened her. I laughed calmly, and said I was just trying to go to work. The cops had better things to do, so I followed her to the corner and said 'The minute we're out of sight of those cops, I'm going to rip your face off.'
She started screaming, ran back to the cops, and they walked her to work.
Two days later, I saw her at the subway stop.
I went up behind her and whispered in her ear very softly, 'I'm right behind you.'
She started screaming and ran up the stairs.
Now, I don't think I would have touched this girl. But I was so incredulous at her behavior, I couldn't believe it. She was cruel to a complete stranger for no reason at all. I was completely out of her way. I truly hope I taught her a lesson, though of course, it's not my place to teach anyone a lesson. I'm no saint.
But man, did it feel awesome.

From Jessnstu08:
she S T F U real quick because i gave her what i like to call ' crazy eyes' .
I'm at work, and I literally guffawed. People are staring. That's so awesome.
I think I met the same lady, and I'll spare you the entire story (because I've already embarrassed myself enough), but it ended with this princess grabbing her lady bits, jumping up and down, and screaming F YOU WHITE DEVIL!!!
All because she wouldn't move her gross feet so another lady could sit down.
Man. People.
One funny thing- a lady sat next to me on the subway YEARS ago, and lit a cigarette. It was the wierdest thing. She obviously wasn't in her right mind, and unless I feel physically unsafe, I usually give the 'touched' some slack. I turned to her and said 'You can't smoke on the subway.'
She turned around to me and said 'I'm a Libra. And a Lover!! I smoke because that's what I do!'
I let her be. It was actually pretty funny (not the mental illness, I mean, but what she said), and I figured she had enough to deal with.
Thanks ladies. I feel so validated, and a lot less skanky for being so rude. Now I'm going to take a xanax and try to relax- I need to start yoga or something.

I saw this on Opera yesterday as well. In a few incidents I would be what they consider rude. But overall i dont think I am as rude as a lot of people.
The only ones I'm guilty of are gossiping, using the computer while on the phone, and being late (occasionally).. I don't think I'm rude, at least I hope not.

Are you chronically late?
Definitely not. Im usually way too early and stuck sitting around by myself somewhere.
Have you ever typed an email while talking on the phone?
Yes I do this to DH and he hangs up on me.
Have you ever interrupted a face to face conversation to take an unimportant phone call?
Yes and its usually for DH that I pick up since he's psycho and will keep trying to call until I pick up.
Have you ever gone through the supermarket express lane with more than 10 items?
Nope but DH tries to do it. I may do it if I have 11 or 12 small items.
Have you let your dog relieve himself on a neighbors lawn?
No but if I had a dog I dont think I would care if he peed on their lawn. Now if he took a dump, I would pick it up.
Have you ever stolen someones parking spot?
NO! And let me say I will FIGHT SOMEONE next time this happens. This happened to DH and I in the city and it almost happened to me. Its the RUDEST thing anyone can do and Im infuriates right now talking about it.
Have you ever gossiped?
No but did you hear Songstress is a ho??
Have you ever taken someones food or drink from office refrigerator?
Nope. I never worked in an office but I wouldnt do it. Thats just rude.
I think talking on the cell phone while trying to cash out somewhere is horrible. Ive done this but its RARE. Theres actually a sign in a bagel shop in Queens that says they refuse to acknowledge you if youre trying to pay for something while on the phone. Its pretty funny
The other rude crap in that episode that annoyed me was the rudeness to waiters. I have come across some CLASS ACTS as a waitress. People who you think have never been taught to be civilized. And let me tell you all, the worst thing in the world is to be rude to a waiter because I guarantee you will either be eating someones spit or a dirt covered item from your dish. Its just stupid.

what bagel shop is thisthats so funny
i know i felt bad with the waiter thing too, and that lady who brought her sister on the show that was ALWAYS rude at restaurants and her family didn't want to go out to eat with her anymore. I cant believe how horrible she was. First of all she was too demanding, and people do make mistakes. I am very tolerant at a restaurant it takes ALOT to piss me off. Theres been like 2 incidents i can think of and they were real bad, and dh knew it was bad just bc i got mad, otherwise i usually say its fine or tell ppl to give them a break. And if im with someone like this i get so embarassed, and i laugh when they send things back, i even tell them that i hope they also enjoy the spit![]()

That woman was a pig. I have encountered her kind many times. People like her obviously have no self esteem and it makes them feel better to have someone serving them. People like her will not look me in the eye when I come up to their table. They wont answer me if I ask a question about their order but complain if I get it wrong. This was when I used to serve food. It was the worst. Happened a lot at ONE in the meatpacking district when I worked there. The way someone treats someone in a service position really says a lot about what kind of person they are.
Oh and the bagel shop is actually in Forest Hills!
