Today I’m taking the train home from work and I sit across from some guy and a woman about the same age as him (I’m assuming they were husband and wife since they both had rings on), and I was disgusted by the man’s behaviour. The woman tries to ask him for some technical help with some handheld electronic (blackberry probably) and the guy responds with, “Shut up, I’m busy”. The woman kind of turns her head and looks out the window into the distance and I felt soooo bad. I felt like offering help but the man she was with looked like he could crush me into a fine powder so I just drifted to sleep for the remainder of the trip.

The only other possibility I could think of was she was either his sister or just a female friend, which is either case would still make me almost as equally disgusted. If I had a life partner, there would be nothing but consideration and helpfulness,

and none of this bs disrespect…
