Why would she spit in your face when she knows that whatever 'offensive' *sarcastic tone* thing you said doesn't make sense to even her, let alone you?
The lady was probably in another world. Lets call her loco.

One rule about me: If I'm going to tolerate your insanity, you will tolerate mine.
Almost all men can stand adversity. If you want to test a mans character, give him power.
You see what power is; holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them.
I almost don't want to believe this because of the thread you made last year this time about you getting hired by the Blizzard art department, lol.
That's a crazy weird situation, though. It's like something you'd read in a book or see in a movie. I can see how that would put a bad edge to your day
It was posted April 2nd though so it wouldn't fit the parameters of an April Fool's joke.
Hm, you're right. For some reason I thought that thread in that link was one he posted after April 1. Oh well, my mistake. God knows I make enough of them.

OH wow :P.

"I'm sorry, this is a public bus. I can talk as much as I want about whatever I want."
das is where you should have said. I'm sorry about that, i didnt realize it was offending anyone. My apologies Ma'am.
that would have diffused the entire situation. however i can totally understand the anger and frustration you felt as this one time i was making jokes with my friends at like 9pm (going to the pub) and no one was on the bus but a couple people and this guy (28ish) freaks out at me for swearing like 4 times :\ . and i apologized but he kept getting more angry and more angry.
I would have went insane with rage and punched her in her dusty old ovaries. :/
My guess though is that she probably was a lesbian in her younger days and the word Dyke offended her. BUT she should have listened better to what you were talking about, or not at all. Apparently you weren't being TOO loud or she would have heard the part about the play.

I'm not the kind of person to give up my rights because someone doesn't like what I'm doing, so regardless of whether that would've diffused the situation, I never would've done it. Might've if she had a knife on me or something, I guess...
Anyways, to dispell any idea that this is an April Fools trick (it would be a kind of stupid one) I'm am confirming now, the evening of April 2, that it is true.

Well..she was certainly armed to the 'teeth'

that is awful and gross, i'm sorry it happened to you.
but.. also just wanted to stick up for the woman.. just a bit..
you know maybe she's a lesbian, and her lover has recently died, and to her, with your loud confidence, you represented every opportunity she's been denied her whole life, plus everything wrong with society that has led to her being called a dyke throughout her life, while at the same time disgracing the memory of her dead lover.
maybe her daughter is gay and she disowned her daughter because of it and she has been estranged for 30 years and now just the word brings so much fury that she'd use any excuse to lash out.
maybe she's got only a few weeks left to live and she felt like you were robbing her of the chance to enjoy that ride.
or maybe she's just an intolerant bitch herself.
all i'm saying is that everyone has their own perspective and those realities are just as real and true for every person.
she probably feels totally justified.
but anyway this is only gonna get me yelled at and i don't know wher i'm going with it
sorry it happened.. that would scar me; i'm really obsessive compulsive about keeping my face and hands clean ><

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
I still don't think that in any of those scenarios what she did is justified (whether she feels it is or not). When someone says the word "Jew" I don't suddenly snap at them just because I'm Jewish and the Jews have suffered so much. You don't spit on people. You just don't.
i don't mean to say she's justified in any of those scenarios. just that her perception of things, her judgement, and her consequent actions were probably based on a lot more than what's immediately obvious. i know i've done things that i later regretted when i was in a heightened emotional state, and i'm saying that maybe she was in that position even though outwardly it seemed unprovoked or at least uncalled for.
i'm just saying give her a break, it was a horrible thing to do but who knows what her story is that led for her to do it.

You know you actually could have called the cops. Spitting on someone is assault. At least in the US.
But that'd just seemed silly. Still kinda pisses me off she got away with it unscathed. Who just SPITS on someone. You just don't do that, and to do it JUST because you're a old lady and you know no one is going to hit you, that's just cowardly to me.

So why would someone be offended by you quoting whatever that was from? Or the mention of a "dyke"? I didn't get that part.

(No, I'm not comparing spitting on me to mass genocide, I'm just taking the same concept to extreme to highlight my point).
