First of all I hope this email finds you well!
I'm in an absolute rage and really when someone happens on the GOATrain I can't think of anyone but you to tell.
I got on the 7:27 am from Ajax to go to union this morning and grabbed a seat we proceeded our commute to Pickering when the man beside me leaned forward, I wasn't exactly sure what he was doing but he proceeded to angle his ass towards me before he blew a massive fart in my face. I looked around to see if I was being filmed on a just for laughs show and saw no sign of a camera. He proceeded to stand up and get off at Pickering. I've been gagging the entire way.
Love,
The Fart Catcher
