Today, while on the bus, I took out my breath spray. The elderly lady beside me thought it was pepper spray. She panicked and started screaming, which culminated in the man near her punching me in the jaw. FML

Even if she did think it was pepper spray, why would she scream? It's not like a knife or a gun, you can't hijack a bus with it...

Later, that lady caused a bomb panic when someone took out a pack of gum, then when a man was eating a banana, she apparently stopped him from shooting himself, and finally, she knocked a knife out of a child eating a popsicle.

I guess it was one of those days you wish you'd have stayed home.

People are paranoid over everything my college campus went into lockdown because someone said they saw a student with a gun when it was actually an open umbrella; so when there's stupidity there's.....

There was a threat at my university about a guy walking around with a gun. It was the seat from his bike (bike seats are often stolen, or sometimes the lock is cut and the entire bicycle is stolen, but people don't steal bikes that are seatless).

The man must have been dumb as well for believing an old person. When you deal with an old person, please confirm it before taking action.

She probably thought OP was going to spray her...

I guess it didn't make sense to me, because if he was going to spray to her, then everyone on the bus would have seen and defended her. But I guess it would be hard for her to be logical in the moment. Thanks for explaining.

Bro, if the TSA think you can hijack a plane with nail clippers, I think I can hijack a bug with pepper spray...

28- I would pay to see you hijack a bug. But I know you mean bus. I just think it would be hard for OP to hold up the pepper spray and be all "Stay back! I'll shoot!"

It sounds silly but pepper spray does hurt pretty bad...

17: Many older people aren't logical. They assume people are always out to get them... except for the ones that are there to help them (as in the kind folks who request thousands of dollars to help 'feed their starving children' and other scammers).

At least the man who punched you helped the old lady. See, there is still faith in humanity.

Faith that if someone gives an indication of fear then the person closest to them will be attacked without hesitation? Great...

Mmm...pepper spray is just so flavorful! It leaves your breath nice and spicy. But I don't understand why a scream from an old lady would make a guy punch OP in the jaw.

The guy probably thought OP was hurting the old lady

So his first thought was using violent force? Why not ******* communicate first, that's why we have mouths.

Yeah but if I thought a guy was hurting an old lady I wouldn't stop to ask him about it, I would actually try to help her. But the guy should have been able to see he was just usin breath spray...

I wasn't excusing it, I was just saying his reason.
