Train Nutter Wants To Kill My Beard! [F]
I boarded the 6.39pm train from work back home tonight. I boarded with a middle-aged fellow, late 30s I’d say, an Orderly who is a familiar face I see from time to time around work and I’ve caught the train with before.
Here we are, sitting on the sideways seats facing opposite each other, and he starts shooting the shit and making fun of my beard. I’m cool with that, even though I had to look at the people who were sitting around me just so I could feel comfortable talking back. (I don’t know why, it’s just an observation of myself)
He said I looked like a curly black-haired Santa Clause. I said if I dyed it orange I could rock a ZZ Top. He was old enough to get that one haha, prick.
After the train stopped at the next station for commuters, he says: (to himself. I hope)
“I wish I could just kill people.”
!
No I didn’t say anything back! What the fuck should I have said! (“Thanks for making shit awkward train guy“)
After which, he started talking about how the world’s best assassins are Canadian mountaineers. I don’t know what the fuck he was on about.
Un/fortunately we got off at the same train station and I tried to ease some of the tension I was feeling by asking him a question, that I thought I knew what his answer would be:
“So you like action movies huh?”
“Na, I hate them.”
!
“I’ve got to get some milk from the dairy. Byeee…”
My question is this: Was this guy reaching out? Because that was such a random thing to say and say loudly on the train of all places full of people. Or was he just trying to talk about something that intrigued him?
He started talking to me about shotguns and duck hunting and shit too before I left him but I don’t know anything about him really. This conversation stemming from fireworks.
Funking nutter has me worried. Who says shit like that and not care how others will react? I couldn’t even open my mouth without knowing the faces of who could potentially be listening.
Am I making a big deal over nothing or should I hang with this guy to see what his dealeo is? I don’t know… Silly bastard made me feel uncomfortable.
Maybe he was just super-duper jealous of Le Beard 😛 Here’s to trying.
