Well, it wouldn't be a train trip if I didn't get abused by someone at least once. I'm not sure what he was going on about, all I caught was him calling me fat or some variation of that about a dozen times and then screaming at me about white people and slavery. Not sure what I did exactly, I was just crossing the road and he started yelling at me. When I ignored him enough he started going off on the next closest people who seemed to be copping it harder than I did
The tram is about to come so I assume he's about to leave, buuut for now I'm holed up in the corner of a KFC, which probably wouldn't make him very happy

I was coming home from work one day last year, and this old white dude was screaming racist profanities to a SE Asian couple and their young kids. I got between them and told him he was less of an Aussie then them, and how their English was better than his. He almost punched me but instead realised I am a chick and said he wouldn't punch a girl. I said he's never even touched a girl hence why he's so mad lol.
So not recommend doing this, you did the right thing. Anything else (including what I did) is likely to earn you a punch to the face. It's okay, just remember there is nothing wrong with you, it's 100% their problems.
Lol that's gold! Good on you for standing up for them.
This dude seemed to be having some sort of a breakdown, so I figured the best option would be to ignore him, which usually works. In hindsight though I kind of feel like I should've tried to record or film it, but whatever ig
I'm sorry bro. Perhaps the unhinged screaming dude from my area got relocated to yours
Aw damn it, I don't want him. Can I return to sender?
Depends on how many postage stamps you've got
Hope he's not a large fella
