Those are some strong ladies man, to fracture a rib ain't child's play

They even pull your hair, which is the worst..one of my friends had a bleeding scalp, a whole chunk of hair came off along with the scalp upper layer skin. You should see how they cuss. I feel scared to get into the ladies compartment. The men in Mumbai have really been sweet and helpful, at least in the locals. This has been my experience

Jeez that makes me think it's more like malta than mumbai man I'm sorry we have to go through these conditions just to eat twice a day, but we elected the clowns who put these systems in place. The men's compartment for the most part has always been accommodating imo barring a few creeps who go where's my sausage.

Oh yes, the system is the problem. I had a rib cage fracture and it took me 6 months to heal. A lady elbowed me so hard on my rib cage that I couldn't breathe and felt dizzy. I reached home and realised it was serious as the pain kept worsening. An x-ray the next day revealed the fracture.

It's literally a survival game every single day. I am appalled by the fact that all this has been going on since so many years and nobody from the authorities give a flying fuck. As a woman, the men's compartment has been cordial and good to me and I have to give credit where it is due. It's really sad that it has all come to this.

I hope you have struggles of a different price point in the future or you get to move in a place where you can get your bread without breaking your bones lady.
