"Fun" Times on the Train

[salienne]

Bizarre Moment of the Day: (also known as Awkward Moment of the Day)

6 PM. Rush hour. Everyone is trying to get home. The metro is absolutely packed, and when people pile into the already filled trolley cars, "packed in like sardines" might be a cliche description but it is by no means inaccurate. These trolley cars also come about every minute (OT, but I love how short the wait is here), so when the train fills up in front of us, my mother and I are perfectly happy letting the doors close in front of us. We can just take the next train.

Now this is when the Moment occurs, because for a few seconds, the train merely stands there, closed with its passengers packed in behind the glass and metal like really unfortunate fish. One particular fish, this man who is in his late 40's at least, is right there at the doors, which have glass windows. He is looking out, I'm looking in, we're both sort of absently looking at one another.

Or so it seems.

Still looking at me, the man raises his right hand and makes a lifting motion at his chest, indicating a breast.

I stare, unable to quite react past "What the hell is he doing?" and "Is that aimed at me?" thoughts.

He then gives me a thumbs up.

Now I was wearing a somewhat low-cut shirt at the time, but not that low-cut (especially not with the way the bra straps lengthened during my walk all day), but even if I was showing it all to the world in a see-through shirt (which I've seen around here), what the hell? I mean... seriously? Seriously?

Forget obnoxious immature teenagers, hello skeevy old men!

Smirking slightly, I flipped the guy off just as the train was leaving. Sadly, Russia doesn't have a special meaning associated with the middle finger, so I don't think he understood.

Still... apparently my breasts are attractive to sketchy old men.

Hoorah.

@_@

ETA: (Completely OT, but...) There is a Russian version of Law $ Order: SVU. Not subtitled. A Russian version.

I am highly highly amused. Yup Russia, you go ahead and blame America for the war with Georgia and puppies dying and the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs too. Meanwhile, I'll watch your remakes of American tv. XD

ETA2: And by remakes of American tv, I mean the same exact episodes, rewritten in Russian and re-acted by Russian actors. I just stopped watching because I've seen the original version of the episode in English.

OMG... sorry, but that is kinda funny!
What did your mom think about it?

My aunt's really fussy about what wear out in public. Thank God for finally escaping to uni!
:D

Yeah, I'm rather amused, actually. XD

My mom didn't notice. Once I told her, she couldn't believe it at first but was then rather upset, reminding me that there were bastards everywhere in the world. Basically, she didn't want it to get to me.

Honestly, it didn't past "WTF. Asshole... but amusing asshole. And, um, yay I have nice boobs?" Mum was bothered far more than I was.

Yay uni! :D

I have giant boobs and my parents have always bought me shirts that are about 8 sizes too big, and I'm no kid. BTW, what's the Russian Jerry Orbach look like and does the Russian Law and Order have that "bonk" noise?

[salienne.livejournal.com]

*Blinks* Why let your parents buy you clothes? And dude, our giant boobs could throw a giant boob party!

Also, I've no idea; I saw S.V.U., not the original Law and Order. The actors looked sort of like older, not as charismatic characters though.

And the bonk noise was still there. All the sound effects were the same. I giggled.

I mean my parents bought my clothes when I was a kid, I still get the occasional xmas present from them and they're still buying me shirts that are too big. I should have made myself clearer.

Men are pigs. It's that simple. Ugh.

Also, I know the whole 'packed in like sardines' thing. I went to the July 4th Fireworks in Boston (at the Esplanade) and my GOD, the subways were just INSANE. We had to make our way down into the actual station (which very much resembled a mosh pit - though a bit tamer) and then, the trains would come, people would line up and RUN onto the train the minute the doors opened. Some of these trains were already full, so people were trying to squish in cuz they were sick of waiting (so was I). Anyway, these subway worker people were trying to help but all they did was PUSH the people in further and one guy got stuck in between the doors, and the subway guy just PUSHED HIM IN FURTHER and let the doors shut *headdesk x4* When Noah and I finally got on, I got in and then dragged Noah in behind me - he almost missed it!

Right. Enough with the long commenting, sorry!

[salienne.livejournal.com]

Yeah... punch 'em all in the face, is what I say.

And that is INSANE. O_O I'm happy you and Noah were all right!

And I love long comments, so thanks for putting the effort in!

By the way, thanks for the uh....twisted tenties pr0n.
*bursts out laughing*

[salienne.livejournal.com]

You so owe me the comic. XD

[zhalin.livejournal.com]

you want the COMIC?! oh god no!!
*burns at the idea of it*

[salienne.livejournal.com]

Hee, the written version disturbed you just a bit, eh?

Now imagine writing it.

-_-"

[zhalin.livejournal.com]

Yes. Felt that I shouldn't read it, yet I couldn't look away. XDDD

The comic would be...well, incredibly sick. I'd never watch Pirates the same way again. Not gonna happen. :P

[salienne.livejournal.com]

Yay, it's like a car crash!

Oh fine. How 'bout just a pic of CJS being hot?
