Public Transport

Recently I've been using public transport daily and thus rare occurrences actually have a relatively high chance of occurring. On one trip home, I met a former classmate which I hadn't seen in over 8 years.

Some random teenage girl got pissed at her boyfriend for smiling at another girl at some point in the past. She was also pissed at a male friend of his (maybe her friend) for not telling her about it.

A short while later, a relatively old man got pissed at the teenagers since some of them weren't wearing masks.

We were in what can be described as a subway train that occasionally also travels above ground.

The subway train thing was basically empty and the old man could have easily moved over 50 m away, but instead decided to approach the group. God bless him for daring to approach such a huge danger hazard. He then demanded them to put on masks or get off the train.

This was obviously a life threatening issue, so the old man was forced to pull the emergency brakes. So now we're stuck. The train also shares a single rail with the trains coming from the other direction. The only parts that split are at certain stations. This then caused even more hassle and delays.

The teenagers that didn't have masks on actually got off and ditched, however some were still on the train. The old man got scolded by the train conductor, but wasn't really punished and stood his ground aggressively. [Funnily enough, the train conductor actually didn't have a mask on]

After being stranded for a while, one of the teenagers whips out a guitar and starts basically scream singing. The music itself was alright and he had a decent voice, but the lyrics were just awful. Just inappropriate in general, severely downplaying issues such as the virus that has wreaked havoc. Due to the aforementioned situation, me and my former classmate were delayed around an hour. It was however a great opportunity to catch up.

No global variables were tampered with to generate this scenario.
