I axed you not to do that

So I was riding the train and my stop was next. Up until this point the ride was not eventful. In fact it was quite boring. Just as I prepared to disembark, this lady comes through the car mad as hell. She was having an argument and it was really heated. She was making an issue and she wanted to illustrate the point by trying to break a liquor bottle on the floor of the train but , for some reason, it bounced. That seemed to make her angrier! She got to the end of the car and she, inexplicably, found ANOTHER bottle to throw. She flung it at the floor and THAT bottle bounced as well. Now I don't know if that was a testament of her weak arm or the rubberized floor of the new trains. The truly sad thing about it was she was arguing with an invisible person who, apparently, worked as an invisible police officer (that's why she was mad because she thought the invisible person was a narc) for the ICPD (Invisible Chicago Police Department). I think the invisicop was trying to detain her.

On my way home I'm sitting on the train a few seats from a seemingly attractive young lady. This guy boards and immediately focuses on her. He is smitten! He must pursue her so he makes his play!

"Hey how are you?"

No response.

He gestures for her to remove her headphones.

"I can hear you."

"I just wanted to tell you that you are very attractive."

"Thank you."

"I was wondering if..."

"No."

"You don't know what I was going to ask."
"Well, ok. What were you going to ask?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to...."

"No. Thanks for asking. This is my stop. Have a good day." She escapes. Now maybe it was just me but the fact that he looked like an urban version of Grizzly Adams' Black cousin no one talks about but shows up at the family reunion anyway seemed to be a factor in her not allowing him to woo her with his charms. Poor guy but she got off the train like he was an axe murderer that just got through sharpening his favorite axe.
