Another rant from kambuckta about the wonders of (sub)human life that are to be found on our public transport system:
Coming home from work tonight on the tram, there is an ‘interchange’ where two tramlines coming and going in different directions happen to meet. This is a bit hard to describe, but one chap on one tram that was stopping, was hanging out of his window yelling at the driver of another tram to NOT take off before he had managed to disembark his current ride to scoot over to the new one…got it??
Anyway, for whatever reason, (probably because he had encountered our friend before if truth be known) the other driver proceeded before ‘the chap’ had even gotten off the other tram. Whatever. Trams are only about 4 minutes apart at this time of night, so there was no great wait for ‘the chap’.
But seeing the tram pull out pissed him off just a little. He got off his ride, and in a mega-fit of pique decided to bash the windows of the tram he had been on, while screaming obscene abuse at the driver of the now departed tram. He then continued the feral tirade to all of us other commuters, trying to have us see the injustice of the whole situation. Yeah…whatever…get a life mate.
Then our chap, who is around 25-30 years old pulls one of those big Textas out of his backpack, and proceeds to ‘tag’ all of the shelters and billboards and rubbish bins at the tram stop.
WTF. What sort of a fucking moron ARE you? Aren’t you a bit old for that sort of thing mate? Aren’t you just a smidgeon out of the demographic for graffiti vandalism? Did you have any idea just how many people were laughing at you because of your outburst and your subsequent artistic attempts? Strutting around like King Shit, you became lower than a cockroach’s belly after your demonstration. Keep wallowing in your persecutory-pit fuckhead, 'cos that’s where you belong, you fucking moron.
Ah. I feel much better now. Thanks all.
