How the non-confrontational get confrontational


They write notes, fast and furious.

But you gotta give the guy credit - this took nerve (and a lot of rage). Fight for your right to trackball, I guess.

Twitter tells the story:

I am pretty sure this dude on the has written me a note because he's folded it & is tapping it on his book. Wonder if I should run?

    @NN: I believe it reads: "ask who was winding a watch".

    I think the note writer needs to put on his big boy briefs and not be so sensitive. JMHO

    wow. a completely passive-aggressive way to tell someone off.

    I do not care how long you have been riding the train, but realise you are the only one who can hear the noise. It may not bug you, but it drives everyone else up the wall. And there is no way that you can always single out the annoying one. Raising the voice makes it not as personal. Especially when the alternative is: "hey Buddy, yeah you in the black coat and nasty rug. Wanna turn that shit off before I do it for you? Thanks!"

    Besides I almost had it out with some woman last night. I think she was playing pong on her iphone. All I could hear was (high)beep...(low)beep. She also lets the disco music ringtone - at fuull volume - play to the end before answering the damn phone.

    And breathe.

    I almost hurled someone's BB off the train a while back. They had their BBM set to ping loudly every time they received a message and had decided to hold a back and forth conversation from Union to Oshawa on it. It was BB water torture.
