A note to the people on the train:
When I'm sitting next to a pair of punk-ass little brats, I'm glad to hear you say that you think they're terrible people who are going to end up in jail. Yes, I can't stand them either.
However, next time? Present your spirited defense before they get off the train. "Oh, if that other person hadn't backed you up, I was going to throw them off the train!" Yeah, well, you didn't, and I got to deal with twelve year olds who think they can show how grown-up they are by saying fuck a lot. For crying out loud, I had a kid asleep on my lap! I could've used the help! They're not big, they're babies, and more than one adult telling them to knock it off would've gotten them down to aggrieved mutters a lot faster. What the hell are YOU so scared of? Oh, you would've made them stop. Yeah, right.
