What the fuck is wrong with you?

You are talking like some stereotypically white knight that knows how the world works and how everyone thinks and fantasies about how things should be. Yet for all this worldly knowledge that no one ever else could possibly comprehend the world doesn't work out for you.

Some guy was being a dick on public transport, seemingly knowingly, I call him out for that and he stopped. All good.

Love how you can know so much about a situation that you didn't even see. That's a real good magic trick. Maybe you should be a detective?

Where I live we don't have a hand gesture for that. I am curious what it entails?

You put your hand up like a high 5. It is generally seen as a "I fucked up, I know, sorry" it's pretty common it a lot of cultures. Weird you don't know this yet you know so so much above everything else

"what the fuck"--- a pretty hostile thing to communicate to a stranger by any method--- wouldn't you say there is a possibility that it was interpreted as menacing?

How is wtf hostile? Like if you seen a duck carrying a cat across the road and some guy made a wtf gesture at you, you're going to reach for you gun?

Even if you do know better than to start a fight on public transit, this guy doesn't know you. People start fights for less. He's not reading your mind, to know you are thinking like sun tzu, and would therefor not attack from a position of weakness like the seat in front. People get stabbed on busses and trains for minor insults. Don't you think he could have just been cautious?

So let's get this right. People get attacked on busses for minor things. You think this guy is worried I might have beat him, and you think that too, because that's what's happened on public transport.

Well it sounds like I did this guy a favour, the next guy might have stabbed him. Everyone that gets on the bus with him wins because they don't get pissed off and he wins because no one kills him for being a dickhead.

If him being scared prevents all this then I guess you are right. I did him a favour.

Look cunt you obviously seem to know it’s not right if you acting like that so why you being a knobhead? Just because no one will call you out?

I'm sorry I can't read minds thinking about the situation at a different time period. But again, that's an awfully good skill you have.

Omg you are actually talking about video games now. You're too much.
