Transportation: Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole...

Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole pushed past me hard enough to nearly knock me over. My bag hit a preschool kid standing behind me, and I missed my stop trying to apologize to him. His mom yelled at me all the way to the next stop. FML

Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML

Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML

Today, while on the bus, I had to stand as all the seats were taken. I was standing behind a group of small girls who were messing around with their bags. As they were swinging them, one hit me square in the nuts with her elbow. The girl said, “Wise up, I hardly touched you.” I missed my stop. FML

Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML

Today, I was on the bus and a woman got on with her 3 young children. I offered her my seat so they could all sit together. When I went to get off the bus, I realized I'd left my bag underneath my old seat. When I tried to get it back the woman hit me and yelled at me for trying to steal her purse. FML

Today, I was on a crowded subway going home. My trousers were a bit dusty so I tried to dust myself off. As I was slapping the side of my leg I missed and hit a woman behind me in the ass. She called me a pervert and walked off. Everyone stared at me. It takes 40 minutes to get home. FML

Today, I got on the bus. Before I could make it to a free seat, the driver hit the gas, and the sudden movement caused me to stumble and accidentally grab onto another passenger for support. She didn't appreciate this, accused me of molesting her, and got me thrown back off. FML

Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

Asshat bus drivers, with their "rules"

Today, as I tried to get off the bus, my bag and the hand holding it got stuck between the exit doors. I dropped the bag in panic, but the driver wouldn't let me off until we got to the next stop. I had to walk all the way back to get my bag. FML

Today, while at the mall, a kid no older than 5 pushed a stroller into my heel, which caught the back of my shoe and caused me to face-plant the floor in the middle of a very crowded department store. I didn't even get an apology. FML

His mom should have realised it wasn't your fault. Surely she would have seen it happen. Or at least let you explain!

Did she not see you being pushed? All you can do is apologise and move on, unfortunately some people cannot be reasoned with.

It's hard to get around in a crowded train, she should have understood that. And honestly after an apology, I don't understand what she wanted you to do. Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness?

On the bright side OP, chances are you'll never see her again. It sucks she yelled at you and clearly didn't realize it was a mistake. Who purposely hits a child in the face with their bag?

Crowded trains are no fun. People become so pushy and disregard the people around them, it's nice that you went to the effort to apologise because so many people just push past without a care!!

Sorry to hear that OP but I'm surprised she didn't see you getting pushed.

I'm not sure if I would have apologized at all. I This clearly wasn't your fault, it's not like you said in your mind "Dang, I really want to hit some random preschoolers today"

Sounds like the mother is a psycho. You apologized sometimes you can't reason with lunatics.

Today's Lesson: Next time, just flop when you're pushed, pretend you hurt your knee or something. Maybe then people will react reasonably! ??

That really sucks, been there. The mom should have relented after the 1,000th time you apologized. After all it was just an accident, and the child was fine after provably just a little spooked.
