The tube is a fantastic source of entertainment

Since Danya and Emira made a blog post I feel compelled to write one too.

I was in the tube the other day, and as I was sitting I saw these two dudes - let's call them dude A and dude B - getting in each other's faces. Something must have happened before I got in the compartment, but dude A, who was relatively younger, told dude B to "just sit down!" (yes, he was a rude little punk who had his scared "female companion" there with him) while bobbing his head like some thug. And then they went and mind their own businesses... For about 5 minutes, until the rude little punk (dude A) caught dude B staring at him, and so he said "You're pissing me off man, stop staring at me, I'm gonna break your face", and dude B, who looked Indian by the way, mumbled something I couldn't hear very well. And the punk just stormed at him, so now both dudes stood up, again, getting in each other's faces. Some people were laughing silently at them, some had a concerned look, and a girl who was sitting right beside dude B kept on yelling "Stop it, stop it! Tell them to stop it!" I'm pretty sure people silently thought, "but this is a source of entertainment in our mundane lives..."
Okay, so what happened then was, dude A got his belt out (I don't know how that happened, but if you think about it, he kind of made a fool of himself just trying to get that belt out awkwardly while trying to confront another guy) He picked up his hand presumably trying to whip the other guy (dominatrix much) but a biiigg Caucasian man held dude B back, and a man who was sitting down was sort of holding dude A back as well - not like there is much to be held back, he was like paper thin... For a thug.
These people who were supposedly "fighting" were just standing there, gazing at each other's eyes, pretty sure they were both scared to make the first move (wimps...) but then, dude A's female companion who was utterly embarrassed by the whole situation walked towards dude A slowly and held his arm and they both retracted.
After the whole scene, dude A remain standing and dude B sat, the whole time I'm pretty sure dude A felt quite awkward and exposed to the whole world. Oh, and the whole time, there was an Oprah-like woman mumbling to herself and a girl beside her about how stupid the situation was.


That's the story for the day, until next time.
Toodle-oo,
Monica
