I don't, however, have a problem with someone putting their bags on the seat if the train is not at capacity or emptying because it's later on down the line. I think to have a problem with that is really being a bit of an anger ball yourselves.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-12871694068661999522014-01-22T10:16:03.638-05:002014-01-22T10:16:03.638-05:00I think it's because there is so few people th...I think it's because there is so few people that do what you do that I am impressed by what you did, it really is sad but still grateful that people like you do exist.

I SHOULD have done a citizens arrest on the other guy, for assaulting a TTC worker - yes, verbal assault. Instead it got down to insults and jock-ness "wanna go? C'mon ... let's go." sort of stuff.<br /><br />I DO feel good that I let the worker get back to doing what was important - checking that the man who was on the tracks was ok, but I sometimes think I did the wrong thing by just insulting the guy. OH well it's the past - in the future, I'll try to do things differently, if something like that happens again.<br />IN the mean time, you'll know who I am, as I throw open doors all the way, so people behind me can get in. I wait for the ladies to get on, and when a dude gets on first, I say "oh, sure, ladies first!". I'm just being chivalrous. I'm just being ... me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422344700789040705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-15091219856784517192014-01-22T09:20:21.782-05:002014-01-22T09:20:21.782-05:00Allan you are amazing, good for you.

You made me LoL on the 190 Rocket ... and there were 25+ poeple looking at me.<br />Second I was born in ... well over 30 years ago, when chivalry and etiquette meant something. I could not let a douchbag abuse a woman like. I couldn't. Third... no one would have been a whitness for douche. They would have hidden and protected me... a few even emailed me afrer to say it. (They kept asking for ny email "incase ttc needed witnesses"). <br />Fourth... she (the conductor) was amazing. Strong when needed but soft when needed. I wanted to hug her. But didn't just in case TTC pullee video etc.<br />LoL bail in a sock. I am still chuckling.

First of all, ...Oh Allan, that story just broke me. First of all, you are better than that. But had you decked him, you have my number. I've got bail money in a sock. I would spring you.<br />Secondly, people like douchey douche don't deserve tears or frustration. They truly deserve a kick in the ass.<br />Third, I commend the driver. I applaud you for standing up for her and want to hug you for just being you.C.J.

Someone had fallen or been pushed onto the tracks.<br />The quick reflexes of the driver prevented a fatality. <br />She got out and walked over to kill power. As she came back, some douche started heckling her about why she stopped etc. I saw tears leaking out her eyes and she struggled to keep in her emotions. After 2 minutes I got between the driver and the douche and called him out. After 5 minutes of arguing, Douchy called me a fat fuck and it took two other riders to hold me back from decking him.<br />He walked away after and people started clapping me on the back. I wanted to barf! A group of us walked up to Yonge and got a taxi to Finch Station. The 3 people in the back wouldn't let me pay my part of the fare. They said they were glad to see a real man.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422344700789040705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-45559408878654259812014-01-21T10:19:12.270-05:002014-01-21T10:19:12.270-05:00the last time i confronted someone, i was threaten...the last time i confronted someone, i was threatened and swore at...<br />their excuse...no one else is complaining about us talking, you are making a scene...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-89752275775509499332014-01-21T09:49:17.695-05:002014-01-21T09:49:17.695-05:00yay for Lori!
