Wellers and Whitehead Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Jesus..just stood waiting to cross the road and this middle aged guy tells me he's a fighter. He pointed to his T shirt which had a tiger on it, then proceeds to tell me how he's like a tiger, 'if I get trapped in a corner, I show no mercy!' Then he went on to say how good he is with a knife and told me the best ones to use!! Safe on the streets of Sydney!!?? Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellers and Whitehead Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Bet you always get the nutters sat next to you on the bus or train eh?[/QUOT Always! Just on my way to work one day, this woman spoke to me so started chatting (as you do to make the journey go quicker). She asked what I did for work (social worker) and within 10 mins proceeded to tell me how she had been abused by several members of her family, ex husband, her sister was abused by the same people. By the end of the hour commute I offered to go with her to seek support and gave her my e mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjez Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Whenever I get on a bus or train - I look for the most normal person and sit next to them. I'd rather be the nutter than sit next to the nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellers and Whitehead Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 That's what I did the day on the train, but doesn't always work it that way! Ha! Must be the day for it, as boyfriend was on his way to work at 530 am, saw 2 men hidden behind a bush, asked then what they were doing, then they ran. He called the cops..apparently some retaliation incident!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just a friendly Aussie reassuring you he'd be there to defend you if you had any trouble.

W8ENN Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Don't worry, I did exactly the same on the way to work yesterday when I was wearing my tiger t-shirt. (it's a tiger t-shirt thing, you'll never understand unless you wear one yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca1978 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Charlie sheen I bet, did he tell you he had tiger blood to? All joking aside, you get nutters like that everywhere, I think I would of been a bit scared when he started talking about knives though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellers and Whitehead Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ha! Wasn't scared as work with people who have charges/convictions etc, so deal with worse stuff than that, but on your day off, in a niceish area, when your minding your own business, made me chuckle more than anything. bless him! He started talking about british soldiers and fighting against other soldiers..think he liked fighting ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 'The Streets of Sydneycisco', starring Karl Malden & Michael Douglas? Time was, pre mobile phones, when you could be reasonably sure that anybody waving their arms about and shouting, was someone to be avoided, and you crossed the road. Now, you end up criss-crossing the road a hundred times in as many metres. And of course if it's one way, like Elizabeth, or Devonshire, you HAVE to remember to look both ways for cyclists. A couple of weeks back, i saw this well-dressed bloke SHOUTING at the wall of the pub. I thought 'this guy is certifiable' then I realized he had his phone connection in the ear I couldn't see.

BritChickx Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 just sounds like a nutcase lol, I'm sure if someone really wanted to hurt you they wouldn't talk to you about it first....I presume anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellers and Whitehead Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I see people most days of the week in surrey hills (Dev/Elisabeth area) in such states. One guy so off his face nearly got run over by a bus, a young lad again off his face or mental health crying and just generally looking distressed, a hand full of police taking to various people with a few users looking on and involved. I often wonder if I ever walk past you in the street!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
