So, I was on the MAX (city train). It breaks down quickly within the first few stops due to an idiot that tried to keep the door open for some reason. So everyone has to get off and wait til next train comes.
Next train comes in, and I sneak into where the bike hooks are. There are no empty seats, and getting crowded. This way i can lean in the corner and not have to stand too long and have mucho pain. Everything is fine. Texting a few pals. When one stop some asshole slams his bike and nearly takes my eye out. He growls at me for daring to not move fast enough. He won't even move his bike long enough for me to get out of his way.
Thus I'm forced to stand in an area with no handholds or bars. This is going to be fun. Pain is already shooting through my leg rapidlly increasing.
Next stop another group of people come in. One of them is a young teenanger, who see's a young asian girl just minding her own business by the exit. She's maybe 13??
I shit you not, when he starts looking at her, and begging her, BEGGING her to say "ME LOVE YOU LOOOOONG TIME!"
She wisely ignores him, and the teen goes back to groping his girlfriend who is trying to hold him back somewhat. They see a pile of roses on the ground partially trampled and more and more and more people are getting on. The kid is trying to sell this roses. A dollar each.
No one buys so he just chucks them across the asile. Now the doors won't shut since so many people are on. Teen screams "All the fat people need to get off! There is a max weight, and your making it over!"
I naturally remarked that with his big mouth counts for at least five people. Not to many people heard or even remarked, but he did sneer at me.
The bus starts to go, and it slams its breaks, causing me to slam backwards, sending incredible shockwaves of pain in me. I slam into ground between people, lots of people laugh at man trying to hold back tears, but i managed to get back up with help of one nice guy.
Few stops later, this old lady in a wheel chair is trying to get on. We are very packed. One guy in another wheelchair has a kid sitting on his chair handles to minimaize the space. Girls are sititng on their boyfriend's laps. We are fucking PACKED that when the door opens, a few people nearly fall out.
What does this lady in wheelchair do? Start screaming at us, and I quote
"MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!!!! I NEED ON!!!"
She then tries to ram her wheelchair, causing very angry people to scream and move. Several people get off the max and she gets on cursing at OUR rudneess. She screaming at other handicap people for being in her spot. They don't move, and she tries to ram them with her wheelchair, but they just ignore it too.
Then the worst part. Besides the overwhelming pain, and I'm dying for some painkillers I have at home, we get to a stop on 82nd. Its a main road here in Portland. A woman screams he has my purse. I turn and see a man get off and run(I saw the movement anyway, I couldn't tell you waht he looked like or even waht clothes he had). The woman tries to get out, but people aren't moving, and she screaming he has her purse and the men just stare at her going WHA? HE DID WHA?! STOP TRIPPING GIRL!"
I tried to move. I tried bulging. Depsite my pain, i was determined to get out to do something. At least get a good look. I managed to get near the door before they shut and we are off again. Woman is pounding on emergerny button, screaming at driver that someone stole her purse. The reply on the com is sorry, he is already moving and cannot stop.
I offer my phone, but she ignores me and is on a phone her friend and/or sister gave her, who started to talk smack to the guys that wouldn't move who are just laughing and telling her to shut up bitch. She looked like she wanted to slap them. She did turn to me and whispered thanks anyway and went back to friend. Both got off at next stop where wow, those two assholes let them off.
Me thinks they were involved.
I... feel really pissed off at my attempts. I should have started sooner. I wish I could have ignored my pain. Or just honestly? Just slam those fucking assholes faces into the MAX doors, and start screaming WHAT? WHAT?! when they beg me to stop.
I know they were involved. No way anyone else would just stand there like that. Even in this city.
But man. I hated that ride today.

I'm sorry you had such an awful ride, Plaid. Not many guys would even care so much about what's happening to this lady when they're in so much pain themselves. 
. I will make sure to keep a tighter hold on my shit (we are in the same city and I ride the same Max system he does). Were you on one of the really really new trains? I hate those, there isn't enough room, and they do stop with such a bang sometimes that I have personally seen people fall over. I don't like the really old ones either...the ones in the middle in terms of age are my favorites. Yeah we got three totally different styles of trains going ...sigh.
