Silly Girls

Flirtatious teenage females with too much time on their hands are wanting attention from their male friends by throwing little pieces of paper at them.

Kid Innocence

Today I saw a cute kid trying to wave to the train operator after he and his mother exited the MAX train. I have never seen that before. I often forget that there are train operators. I'm glad that children recognize them and try to say "Hi."

Just Missed the Action!

Parkrose TC closed due to Police action right after I went through it today on the MAX Challenge! Close call, as it would have foiled my plan if I hadn't already been there!

Psychotic Lady

A "psychotic" lady (her words) was talking on the phone today, telling the person on the other line that her psychiatrist told her that he couldn't help her anymore. She mentioned something about not being allowed to be around other women because they make her get pissed off so easily. I also discovered that she got a DUI when she was 19 and can't drive yet. She said she was 21. That's why she is on the MAX. Insisting that she shouldn't drive a car until she was legally allowed to, her reason was to avoid prison. "I can't go to prison. That'd be the last straw," she told her friend.

Family Separated

The MAX stopped at Old Town/China Town. A woman and her two daughters got off with their luggage like they were coming back from the airport. The mother was fumbling with the baggage and the door closed while the two upper-elementary age girls were outside by themselves. The woman pushed the intercom, screamed at the driver, the driver didn't answer, so she pulled the emergency stop knob. It quickly came to a stop and her door opened. She jumped off and went back half a block to rejoin her daughters.

The evil train operator apologized to the people on the MAX for the lady being inconsiderate.

Clearly the operator didn't know what was going on.

Male Dominance

Getting off the MAX at the 148th Ave Station, a man slammed a woman up against the TriMet sign. She was screaming and asked me for help. So I made eye contact with her and called 911 from across the street. I kept walking so not to piss the guy off and eventually heard sirens in the distance.

Mystery Glove

I saw a green snow glove on a seat when I was riding downtown on the MAX. When riding back from downtown about two hours later, I saw the same glove on the same seat.
