I have never had to ask for help but I tell you &#8211; travelling for over an hour late at night on the train with a bunch of fricking nutters, or drunken loons, or just generally creepy guys who give off a seriously dodgy vibe&#8230;.you have at least a small sense of security even if you arent in the same carriage as the guards. <br \/>\nHell &#8211; even getting the train home during peak hour the loonies are about &#8211; the other day my train was almost empty by Emu Plains but had to still chug up the hill to Springwood&#8230;.anyways first off this chick started cackling so loud i could hear her over my ipod. and she went on and on for at least 2 stops&#8230;.and then she started going &#8216;cooooo coooo&#8217; all the way to fricking springwood &#8211; i am NOT kidding. I seriously wanted to shout out &#8216;shut the fuck up!&#8217; but then i thought &#8216;what if she is a real crazy person &#8211; she might flip out and stab me or something!&#8217; so i just turned my music up louder and tried to ignore&#8230;.as the train approached my station I got up to walk through the carriages so i was closer to the stairs on the platform and the woman stopped her cooing for like 2 seconds when she saw me and then started agaiN!
