Wow... That's about all I can say

Shrapnel's picture

So yesterday morning on a crowded Bay Point - Daly City train (I was off) and headed to the city to have coffee with a friend of mine. Around 19th St, a 30-something, Caucasian woman boards the train, which, being just after 8am, is of course SRO. Jam packed. I'd say this car was at crush load.

At 12 St / City Center, a man off-boards. Another man (20-something) is headed over to the newly-vacated seat. The 30-something white lady pushes him out of the way! She takes a seat right where he was headed! After pushing him (and several others) out of the way!

At this point, I would have flashed! But the 20-something man said NOTHING! He stands the entire way (I was getting off at Civic Center...) and right before the train leaves Embarcadero, the man goes over to the 30-something woman and says something to the effect of, "You know, I was standing since Walnut Creek. I have a bad knee from an accident a few years back. What you did was incredibly selfish. Hopefully you didn't do it on purpose. But I think we all know you did" or something along those lines.

Mind you, this is a crush-load train. Even after Embarcadero, it is still SRO. The woman rolls her eyes. All eyes were on her. I'm maybe 5 feet away and have a great view of all this.

She asks why the man didn't ask for the seat earlier, and he said (something along the lines of) "Because you pushed me out of the way to get it. You must have bigger (or deeper?) problems than I do. I hope you have a great day."

By now, we are pulling into Montgomery. The whole half of the car where she was seated is staring knives and fire at the woman. I kept my big mouth shut... But as she was off-boarding at Montgomery, someone yells "Selfish jerk!" and as she is just outside the doors a street person called her a dickface.

Wow. What have we come to, you guys?

Good news? I pulled a rafa!

I was able to snap a few pics of her, and I need to figure out how to get them on to the computer. I know how to send them to other phones but does anyone know how to get them on the computer? I have a Samsung from Verizon. Let me know if you do!

But yeah... C'mon guys. What has the world come to?

To get the picts of your phone:

If your phone has a memory card you should be able to remove the memory card from the phone and insert it into you computer with a cheap USB adapter and access it's contents

if you phone and your computer have Bluetooth you may beable to just "drag & drop" the picture from the phone to your local hard drive.

A third alternative (and perhaps slowest and expensive ) method is to email the picture to yourself from the phone.

i am a big believer in letting people know when they are being idiots, even if their idiocy is not directed at me.

i think that lady got what she deserved. i think it is great that the guy said something to her; hopefully he made her feel pretty bad in the process. and i'm also very glad that others gave her the evil eye and a couple others insulted her. if these kind of confrontations were more commonplace, people would think twice before acting like totally selfish douchebags.

you are assuming she is not

you are assuming she is not a sociopath (as one in twenty-five are) and thus not capable of feeling guilt or empathy.
