I love how the story always suddenly changes once an OP gets criticized for his/her behaviour:

[ QUOTE ]
but trin bumped into this girl maybe twice, and barely at that.

[/ QUOTE ]

...the third or fourth time trin encroaches on the fat girl's territory

[ QUOTE ]
we were one of the quieter groups on the train at the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

...this, obviously, causes her to squeal and make a flinching retreat. which is not the best idea in a crowded train.

So you were acting like little children on a train and finally pissed off the wrong person. I don't think that the fat angry racist lesbian was in the right by any stretch (because two wrongs don't make a right), but you were just asking for it.
