If anyone happens to know the 5′ tall fishwife on the #10 this afternoon, with scraggy red hair and a frozen look on her face like she bit into a lemon, please tell her her fireworks were misdirected. I told her I’m not Muslim and it’s true – I haven’t believed since I was 14. But that’s hardly a reason not to expect a stranger to call you a ‘muzzie piece of shit’ and tell you to ‘suck Allah’s dick and harass women in your own country’ for crossing your legs too far at a bus stop. I don’t need to report her because she has fewer and unhappier years than I do. —Flabbergasted on Robie

Some people should just not go out in public. Don’t worry OP, just go about your day. We will always have to share this world with dipshits. Keep your smile, be nice to others and it will come around.
Wow sounds like Red has Toys in the Attic
“Fishwife”, eh? I wasn’t aware people still used that word.
It’s a good word, Brendon. I ride the 10 frequently, OP and I’ll keep my peepers skinned for the fishwife. I’ve developed a strong loathing for the free-range rude, of late, and I can beam subliminal messages into a tinfoil hat on so many frequencies your ginger friend won’t know whether to piss or wind her wristwatch.
Tell the piece of shit to fuck off.
Roisin has a good song called ‘Boadicea’ …
OP it’s ok. She just wants to be seen.
Welcome to the wonderful world of “bus trash”. In their natural habitat they can be skittish and unpredictable at times, but mostly just angry and loud. You should have laughed in her face and waited for the tirade that followed.
she could be mad.. (as in cuckoo) No excuse and not a reason to put up with it.
You’re right OP. her life is a miserable, lonely quagmire, devoid of love and attention, i guarantee.
wait, was she wearing a miniskirt and lots of makeup and is about 70 years old? I know that deludinoid. Not personally.. but she’s hard to miss.
I don’t get the whole “for crossing your legs too far at a bus stop.” part, but I assume there’s really no sense to be made of it.
Words I like to TRY to live by:
“A wise man told me, don’t argue with fools, ’cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who”
In other words you could have gotten mad and indignant but there’s no sense arguing with fools aka stooping to her level. Good for you. I hate Islamaphobes, so misinformed.
we aren’t telling anyone, anything. if you don’t have the guts to say a word, why the fuck should we? do your own dirty work o.p., you might enjoy it. allah be praised.
maybe their shoes touched??? I dunno…
this all sounds a little too insane. Was anyone else around to corroborate?
I don’t get “crossing your legs too far at a bus stop” either. Never heard of a fishwife either. The woman sounds like a nut. Be glad shes not your neightbour.
I didn’t get that either, I just assumed that OB meant “spread too far apart”. In which case she’s probably just angry you didn’t enjoy the outline of her giant cameltoed minge.

Fishwife was a new one to me, but I think I’ll be inclined to use it more often 🙂

thanks 195, i have been using the term correctly. my neighbour does not smell like fish^^
hahaha! I can’t wait to bust that out on somebody! “Begone ya dirty fishwife!” lol love it, thank you OP
“crossing your legs too far” – A Sharon Stone wink maybe.

I was sitting down like this fella.

Apparently she would’ve needed two more footsteps to get by me and that was what made her go batshit crazy.
And yes, it was on the bus stop bench. =)
@LIFE SUCKS – did it occur to you that maybe I’m bitching it here because I don’t CARE to make it a legal matter? That I decided to share and laugh at it rather than take someone’s grandmother to court? Still, you should dig her up, ’cause you’d have a lot to talk about. You both have the brains of leaves.
Sounds like your typical HRM nutter who slipped her leash. Best laughed off, or laughed at. Double props for the Boudica reference AND for using “fishwife” in your bitch. Yer all right, Mate!.
Best of the season.>: )
Your actual beliefs shouldn’t even matter. Rise above the ignorance. Giving her a piece of mind wouldn’t even matter. She wouldn’t be worth it. People that are so quick to judge others do have miserable lives unfortunately for them. Live happy and that burns those people more.
Op, its a good thing you are not muslim, eh?
Fishwife, haven’t heard that one for a while. A fishwife is an older woman, not a looker. It literally means a woman who sells fish. Not to be mistaken with alewife, which is a species of herring. A fishwife might peddle an alewife however. I digress.
This woman has serious emotional issues, yelling epithets at you OP, so I think you took the best route. It’s not a winnable situation. Congrats I think you showed class.
..I’ve always been partial to ..sea hag..can’t really use it in southern ON though 🙂
f.o.r., as i said, allah be praised, and who said a thing about legalities. i simply said to tell her off yourself, as in one person to the other. do you expect us bitchers to ride that bus, hoping to see her, and then rip her a new one for you? no, we can’t and won’t do that. you may be right about surly bitch that she was to you and maybe others. but, you still have to take that first step. if it would have been myself, or another few bitchers on here, she would have wished she was dead, or close to it. yeah, we can be a mean fucking bunch, to those that deserve it.
still, you have to take first step, to voice your outrage. i and we can’t do that for you, because we weren’t there. and maybe there was something else, that was left out here. i really don’t think we are getting the full picture on this.
sea hag always makes me think of the witch from Legend…

THAT is the sea hag queen.
I have never heard of the term “fishwife” but as soon as I read it, I pictured exactly what the OP described and with the demeanor the dictionary describes… Snaggle-toothed, smelling like salt/semen, a raspy, cackling voice and rude/ignorant comments coming out of her mouth, likely untouched by a toothbrush in many moons.
Hey I’ve seen that 70 year old red-headed vixen strolling the Tacoma area too! LOL she’s quite a sight
sore eyes.
Update – I’ve since seen her again, also on the #10. She kept her toilet lid shut. 🙂
