Verbally abused on a train by a stranger.















Last Sunday 26 June,I was getting ready to do what I love doing most, and that is travel. And I was at London Euston station boarding the train from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street station. Being Sunday most of the carriages were very crowded and there were not many free seats. But I managed to find a carriage with quite a number of free seats.

But I and the people standing behind me could not go into the carriage. Because a group of three people,two men and a young woman were blocking the entrance,and did not appear to want to go in. So I polity said "excuse me,do you want that carriage?" One of the two men said firmly but not rude"just wait." And then they started to move into the carriage.

But to my shock and horror,the woman who was with them,shouted at me,
"why don't you just wait you ignorant cow."


I was in shock at being shouted at and called such horrible names, but I shouted back which I don't normally do," you don't have to be rude to me". And I also said that I had changed my mind, and that I do not want to sit in the same carriage as some one who was so rude to me. And I moved into the next carriage where I managed to find a seat.

But I did not do anything wrong I only asked the woman and her friends if they were going into the carriage. Because they were just standing around talking to each other and did not appear to want to go in. And I and other people standing behind me wanted to go in and sit down. I was not rude,if I had been standing in the doorway,some one would have asked me the same thing.

It is not right what that woman did to me, although it was only verbal and not physical abuse,I did not deserve to be treated like that. It is humiliating to be verbally abused in such a way in public,in front of other people. And what made it worse, was that I was there on my own on that train,I did not have any body with me. And I when some one is rude to you in public other people won't get involved. And I knew that if I told the train staff,they would not do anything. So I had to sit on that train for two and a half hours. I was very upset and felt humiliated.

But I have dealt with bullies like that woman before. That woman had no right to shout me and call me an ignorant cow. She is a complete stranger who does not know me. It is not right that I should have to put up with that kind of abuse.

I am very upset and angry that a complete stranger can just abuse me and get away with it. As there are no laws yet to sue people like that woman. And the experience has left me emotionally scarred, and it ruined my trip.

So instead I will tell write posts warning people about bullies such as that woman and I will post them here.

It is not right what that woman did to me. That woman is a nasty,horrible,evil,person who should be sent to prison for what she did to me.

And I hope that woman reads this post so she can feel shame for what she did to me.It is not right that people like that can bully and abuse innocent people,such as me. What she did was down right cruel.

And I have only one thing to say to that woman-and that is, go to hell. And I hope that when they do make abusing people in public a criminal offense,that you will be arrested and sent to prison for a very long time.

Maybe you too have had bad experiences like that and have been abused in public by a complete stranger, as it is getting more common now. If you do meet anyone like that woman and get abused like I was. I urge you to write about it so that other members of the public can be warned about people like that.
