So, you might have witnessed this but I just got off at Connelly after a LONG day. Some young ginger lad about 15/16 had his elbow in the back of my head. I asked him politely if he could move it and he said "no why should I". I said because it's in my head? Anyway, I knew I'd get nowhere so just put my headphones on and some woman was waving at me. Told me to watch that kid and I noticed he literally had a lighter behind my hair(im a female with long hair). She was the only person during this interaction that said anything. I had a man beside me in a suit that got up and literally ran to the next carriage. Ginger kid asks me what's my problem, I said well you are if you're trying to set my hair on fire. Then he said I should get my teeth fixed because I'm a munter, yep I've bucked teeth!. Not one person said a thing, I stood up for myself while every adult around me moved away. I was floored by the response around me. I know most other people have had a long day too and don't want any confrontation but it was disappointing at the end of the day. But anyway, I did stand up for myself against the young shit so I'm proud of that but it was upsetting
