Listen to this...

I was taking my bike along on the train before the weekend, put it into a stall out by the door where there's a flip-down seat/wheelchair area, unoccupied of course. Next to that is a 4 seat compartment where I sat to have an eye on Fred (the bike).

first stop a guy gets in and tries to flip down the seat, bumping my bike. I told him to please sit across from me where there were 2 empty seats.

The jerk started to tell me off, threatening to hit me and called me what's best translated as "dork", continuing to mumble under his cigarette-saturated breath. Judging from what he wore he's got some problem, is not working etc. - I was kinda sorry for him but also pretty annoyed. People having to take out their personal problems on others.... thanks but no thanks.

And it's very often middle-aged to elderly men, don't ya think? Those disappointed by life, perhaps??
