Friggin. Seniors.
So I was standing on the train platform waiting for my ride home
("train" sounds a bit grand, its those little trains that run on streets. I have no idea what they're called in english, street train would be a direct translation from german, but the vehicles google shows me for "street train" are way too big) and then something happened that could be straight from a comedy skit.
The platforms of the small station I was waiting at are wide enough that 2 rather "well build" (fat) people could comfortably walk next to each other, heck 3 normal people could walk side by side without bumping into each other. For the amount of people usually on this particular set of platforms they are, as we experts call it, "fucking hueg". I think they might even be bigger then the original XBox, thats how damn spacious they are.
But sadly, roughly in the middle of those platforms there is a lone trash bin. It awkwardly placed and pretty much "in the way".
Now, as I was standing there waiting for my train there were 2 old ladies on the platform across mine, both with walkers, coming from the opposite ends and walking towards each other. They met roughly in front of the trash bin.
How did these classy ladies solve this problem? Did they each move a few centimeters aside so they could walk past each other (for which there is more then enough space)? Nope. Did one of them step back and let the other trough? lolnope.
First they glared at each other so intently (with their little beady eyes) that even I felt the intense hatred radiating from them from 4 friggin meters away.
Then they started yelling abuse at each other. And dang those ladies can yell loudly. I was listening to Rob Zombies Superbeast on a pretty high volume and even I could hear every word.
When my train came a few minutes later they were still yelling, but now they were yelling abue at the people trying to get them to calm down.
Seeing two "adult" humans screaming at the other "b*tch" for blocking her way in what amounts to a huge empty space is both confusing and disturbingly hilarious.
