We had had a corporate day at work meaning I had to wear my name bag, logo pin and scarf because we had Big Wigs coming around the building. Whatever no biggie. I leave all these items at work and just make sure I wear something very corporate and nice to work that day!
This day I forgot to take my Name Badge off. It also has my work logo on it. BIG MISTAKE. I get on the train, manage to ninja myself a seat (Sydney Public Transport requires Ninja skills let me tell you) and sit down, listening to my Ipod (not too loudly) with my eyes closed as they hurt from looking at my screen all day.
SUDDENLY I feel someone pull out my ear phones and grab my arm roughly and try and pull me to my feet. I open my eyes to see a BIG SCARY man in my face yelling at me... Cue me nearly having a heart attack!
SC: YOU! YOU F**KING B**CH YOU SCREWED ME OVER
Me: Get Off Me!! Who the hell are you? (Never seen this guy before!)
SC: YOU F**KING WHORE! *incorherant rambling about how I cheated him*
At this point I'm trapped in my seat with terrified looking people on either side. Trying to figure out what the hell to do!
ME: Not Happy!
SC: Raving Lunatic!
GS: Good Samaritan!
Me: Look I don't know who the hell you are or what your on about! LEAVE ME ALONE!
SC: YOU WORK FOR <MY COMPANY NAME> !!!!
Me: *Confused then remembers name badge* So what?
SC: I AM GOING TO REPORT YOUR TO THE POLICE FOR HARASSMENT! YOUR COMPANY IS TRYING TO RUIN ME! YOUR FOLLOWING ME
Me: *is getting very angry at this point. When I get scared I tend to get angry over the top of it*
SC: YOUR GOING TO GET ARRESTED AND CHARGED YOU FILTHY C**T
Me: *Snaps and stands up* GET OFF ME! I don't care what you think of the company I work for THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ATTACK ME ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK! If you don't get away from me right now I will call the police myself and have you arrested for assault!
SC: *looks about ready to yell again*
GS: Excuse me, Sir could you please leave this girl alone!
SC: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS! <My Company Name> CHEATED ME AND SHE IS ONE OF THEM (Paranoid Much?)
GS: *Calmly* Sir Either you leave or I'm going to have to make you leave.
SC: YOU CAN TRY *Turns backs to me* YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR THE END OF THIS YOU F**KING B**CH
OK Keep in mind he still has me by the arm! This all happened VERY QUICKLY! I decided the best way to treat this was to be calm as the guy helping me was and try and reason with him before this got REALLY REALLY UGLY!
Me: If you have a complaint about <my company> you can call our head office.
SC: *whips back to me and YANKS on my arm* WHAT DID YOU SAY!
Me: I said if you have a complaint about <My company> you can speak to head office about it!
SC: *glares* WHY WOULD THEY HELP?
Me: *Pulls arm out of his grip and sighs* Look, if one of our franchises F**cked you over then you need to speak to someone in head office. There is nothing I can do on a train right now for you.
GS: How about you go home and do as she says *Putting himself nearer to me*
SC: *looks about wildly* I don't have the number.
Me: *Cuts him off and Pulls out notebook writes down number and hands it to him* Thats the best I can do since I am train after being FREAKING attacked by you.
SC: *looks bewildered and completely out of his depth*
GS: Sir, How about you find somewhere else to be that isn't here!
Me: *grateful* You can call them tomorrow.
At this point the train stops and crazy man decides to get off train! Much relief from everyone in the carriage. People are throwing questions at me right left and center. What Do I do? Sit Down, Take OFF my name badge (Resist urge to throw it out the window) and put my ear phones back in! I hate public transport but I hate the Public themselves more!
