![to-the-side: Within a week of Disneyland's opening on July 17, 1955, a brakeman
pulled the switch connecting the Disneyland Railroad's main line with a
siding at Main Street, U.S.A. Station too soon as the Retlaw 2 freight train
on the siding was passing the Retlaw 1 passenger train stopped at the
station on the main line. 131] (321 The caboose on the end of the freight
train had not made it fully across the switch when it was pulled and as a
result, the caboose's front set of wheels correctly traveled along the
siding while the rear set of wheels incorrectly traveled along the main line
towards the passenger train, causing the caboose to swing to the side
before colliding with a concrete slab and derailing upon impact. (31 (32]
During the ensuing commotion, the erring brakeman, presumably to
avoid disciplinary action, quietly left the scene of the accident, exited the
park, and was not seen again. 131] (321 No injuries were reported and by
the following year, the usage of sidings at stations on the DRR's main line
came to an end. [33] [34]

srsly tho this is absolutely a thing that dudes do all the f***ing time
like where if he knows a girl doesnβt necessarily want to give him a hug, he will trap her in this position in front of witnesses where she has 2 options- both of which are undesirable for her, while simultaneously desirable for him
if she doesnβt want to hug him, whatever she does, it will suck for her.
she can 1. say nah and be the fucking asshole in front of other pplΒ or 2. forsake her corporeal boundaries and allow unwanted intimate contact
itβs a f***ing trap
F***ing hate dudes forreal.
too many f***ing times ugh
Story time.One day I was on the MAX (basically a giant street car that goes all over the metro area) on my way to meet up with a few friends. I didnβt look at anyone, I didnβt speak to anyone, I just stood to the side on my phone making sure I wasnβt going to be late to my meeting.Out of no where, this guy comes up to me and starts to chat me up. Me, being who I am, am absolutely terrified to tell this guy to f*** off. He was at least half a foot taller than me, and was way too bulky for me to fight back. So I suck it up at humor him, say hello. Before introducing himself or asking me for my name, he asks me out on a date. Not wanting to piss him off I try to make light of the situation and I laugh, telling him that my boyfriend wouldnβt like the idea, but thank you for the offer. He just shrugs and says, βHe doesnβt need to know.βAt this point Iβm scared out of my mind. Thereβs this guy who, after seeing me run two blocks to catch the train, comes up to me and has made it perfectly clear that he wasnβt going to leave without getting something out of me.I deny him a second time, saying, βI donβt even know youβre name. Weβre strangers, I donβt know you.β He finally introduces himself and asks me for my phone number. I tell him I donβt give my number out to people Iβve just met and he says, βFine, but at least take mine so we can meet up later.β So he watches me plug his number into my phone (which I deleted as soon as I knew I was safe and away from him) as weβre pulling up to my stop. I tell him I need to leave and switch trains and he tells me, βOh, Iβll wait with you. I donβt have any plans, so Iβm in no rush.β Itβs important to note what at this point he had previously told me that he was late to a job interview, but he has all the time in the world because he still hasnβt gotten what he wanted from me; a yes.I get off of the train and he follows me, and waits at the platform with me for over ten minutes until my train arrives, asking me all sorts of personal questions about where I live and where I was going that day. As soon as the train pulls up he grabs for me and says, βDo I at least get a hug before you go?βI was terrified. I was embarrassed. This dude, who before even asking me for my name asks me out on a date and then continues to harass me after I tell him I have a boyfriend, asks me for a hug only fifteen minutes after meeting. People around us were staring at me, as if I was being rude for denying him, and every inch of me was mortified. I wanted to run, but I felt like if I had done that he would have chased after me and things would have gotten worse. So I did, and he squeezed me so tight I felt like I was going to burst. It took me a good ten seconds to get him to let go and I ran to the train car just as the doors were closing. He was trying to get me to miss my train so I would have to wait with him even longer. I would have been stuck there for over a half an hour until the next train came by, and the platform (aside from the few buses coming by) was now COMPLETELY EMPTY. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he knew EXACTLY how to get me alone with him.People, if you are in a situation like this do not feel obligated to give in. If someone is making you uncomfortable and asks to touch you in any way, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SAY YES. Make excuses, be blunt, just straight up say βnoβ. If possible, go to someone else near by who you think can help you and ask them to help you. Itβs important for guys to learn that they canβt get what they want just by asking over and over again.I got lucky. But not everyone does. Please, everyone, Be Safe.
SECOND STORY TIME
So I was on the transit bus alone one time. This was my first time riding, and so already I was PETRIFIED. I sit down, pull out my ipod, and begin to play some games. This guy sits down next to me, and begins trying to have a conversation. I donβt really respond, I donβt even look at him, just give half-hearted βmhmβs and βohβs, as I donβt want to be rude if he was just striking up a friendly conversation. He then asks me on a date.
Now, as I stated before, I already was absolutely petrified. My heart stopped and I didnβt know how to answer. So I just didnβt. He didnβt let up and I could feel his eyes on me. I quietly stammer out a βno thanksβ and my stop HAPPENS to be coming up, so I pull the string thing to let the driver know I want to stop there, and once we stop and the doors open I get up and he asks me, βWell, can I at least have a hug before you go if you wonβt go on a date with me?βΒ
This makes me break. There are now people staring, as we are the only people standing up and not getting offβ¦ So I just start crying. Hell, I am bawling almost instantly. He looks so fucking freaked out and people are now getting up to come over and comfort me/question him. I donβt stop crying, and he keeps trying to comfort me by touching me, and people are yelling at him for that.Β
AND THEN. AND. FUCKING. THEN. THE GOD DAMN BUS DRIVER. A VERY EASILY 6 FOOT BURLY MAN. COMES OVER TO US. PULLS THE GUY AWAY. AND KNEELS DOWN. HE THEN ASKS, IN THE MOST CALM VOICE, βDid you request the stop?β I very slowly and shakily nod, as I am still crying my eyes out. He then asks, βDo you want to get off?β I give a quiet βmhmβ and nod once again, and he offers me his hand. I take it, he stands up, and he escorts me off the bus. He asks me questions such as where I was going next, if I was going to meet someone shortly, if I was going to transfer buses from there. He was very polite and waited for me to answer the entire time, and my friend (who I was going to be meeting there) showed up. He asked me if this was someone I knew, I said yes, and he said alright, have a good day. He then told me- and this is something stuck in my mind forever, so it is word for word-
βIf some guy EVER starts harassing you like that again, do exactly what you did there. Cry. Cry and scream and have a temper tantrum. Not only will it throw him off, but it will get others to notice. They might not interfere, they might, but you will have gotten their attention and if you happen to go missing the next day the search for you will be a hell of a lot easier because everyone in that location will have seen you screaming and crying with a guy now very awkward with his actions. They will know. That is what my daughter did, and three days after she went missing she was back in my arms. I pray for you and every other person like you who has this done. You stay safe now, okay?β And after I began blubbering again, I nodded and he left.
So this is the second lesson for yall. If you can not have the courage to say no or make an excuse, cry. Let out those sobs and tears and cry your heart out. Because it is going to make people notice and make people aware.
Reblogging for that second story. This might save a life.
I just wanna note that bus drivers can be really amazing and good ones do look out for their riders.
Also, as an additional tip (in case you cannot cry on command or such), you can say, βNo, because youβre creepy/creeping me outβ and if he persists or tries to laugh it off, say βI do not want to be touchedβ and look at one of the strangers/persons that is watching.
It:1. Gives them a sense of urgency in the situation, as the eye contact is a way to make them feel as though you are personally asking for their help and it is now their obligation to help.2. Contains words so that if youβre in a public place but people arenβt necessarily watching, then they (as natural evesdroppers) can overhear the attention-grabbing words and then notice the situation. Note, this does NOT mean that they will come for help, but you might be able to look someone in the eye (as previously mentioned) or just get some peopleβs attention.3. It shows that you have fight in you. As with rapists, those who are physically aggressive (ie. these huggers) choose women they see as an easy target. The moment you show them you are going/willing to fight them, they are less likely to continue. Sadly, this is not always the case, but every little bit helps.
Hopes this also helps, guys, and Iβm so sad that this has to even be a post we need.
Dudes who follow me: 1) reblog this 2) donβt be the creepy guy who asks random women for hugs 3) be aware of your friends or random creepy dudes and call them out if they act gross towards girls/womem
Ok, I wasnβt going to comment about this, because there was no way of doing it without talking about a part of my life I really didnβt want to. But fuck that, there be young girls out there who need a hand.
So I used to be hot when I was young. I mean, model hot, because I actually used to model. Even now, Iβve let myself go on purpose because I was tired of the harassment. But I fit a UK size 6 with a pert ass from volleyball and a cup c breast. As you can imagine, I couldnβt wear anything or go ANYWHERE without being harassed. I sometimes even happened in church.
Anyway, Iβm not a shrinking lily, and when I get angry enough I can do some crazy shit. So here are some of my coping mechanisms:
1) find a matronly looking lady, run up to her with βaunt may! I havenβt seen you in ages! β then whisper βplease help heβs harassing me!β. 99.9 times out of 100, she will be scandalised and help you anyway even if sheβs annoyed or in a hurry. If no older lady is available, find a younger one, or a nun, or a trans lady. We of the sisterhood know what it is to be harnessed, and I guarantee if you look frightened enough, they will help.
2) If you are out alone at night, and someone is following you, spot a house or apartment where the lights are on and knock, asking βmumβ or βdadβ or βjohnβ to let you in. Even if the people inside are annoyed, odds are they wonβt turn you away, and you can phone someone to pick you up, or phone the police from a safe space
3) Make noise. Cry and scream loudly, call them out βi donβt know you and you are terrifying me! Please get away from me!β if there are people around. Even if they donβt help directly for fear of their own safety, someone around you is calling security or 911.
4) speak a foreign language. If you know it, speak the language to them fast and incessantly, like you have just met someone you knew and youβre just giving the best performance rant of why your OTP is the best OTP. Make yourself ANNOYING. Think about what would be awkward and annoying to you and make it what you do to them. If you make them think YOU are something to get away from they will leave you in peace.
Now beware, the following ones are the CRAZY ones and may not always work. But they are a valid last resort:
5) stare at them. Stare at them like youβre hungry and they are a hapless deer youβre going to tear to pieces. Like yours the girl from the ring emerging from the TV to kill them. Donβt smile, donβt change your expression. DONβT BLINK. Hold their state like youβre Wednesday Adams about to do unspeakable things to a spider, and they are the spider. Even the most courageous of stalkers balk at this, but if they donβtβ¦
6) Use the Hannibal Lector. After staring at them for and extended period of time (imagine all the things that have made you scared, imagine you could get revenge on them for putting you here, thatβs the thought you need to have), if they are getting closer to you, whisper something like βi would fry your liver in garlicβ. Even the hardiest ones will be taken aback, but keep it up while making sure you donβt let the others hear you. Things like, occult star readings requiring blood, wondering whether he is the offering the spirits sent. If youβre on this site youβve read some weird shit at least once. Tell him that. Tell him you would like him to meet your lord, Vlad the Impaler, who requires much blood to be appeased. Be a stereotypical βcrazy bitchβ like they see in the movies. Believe it or not, this has worked for me twice.
Above all, banish the notion that you have to be polite.
They were impolite by approaching you. If you can, ignore them. If you are not alone, pointedly put headphones in your ear, and donβt make eye contact, wait for them to realise that βyoure a bitch anywayβ and move away. If you are alone, evade and find places and ways to fix that as soon as POSSIBLE.
And if all else fails, summon Satan.
Something I have learned at work:
Never underestimate the power of a good βEXCUSE me????β
Legit. It makes people STOP IN THEIR TRACKS. This is the one I whip out when people start swearing at me over the headset and always, without fail, they stop what theyβre saying, shocked.
Go for offended, and go for loud. Not yelling loud, but giving-your-best-presentation loud. βEXCUSE me??? You approached me two minutes ago, I donβt even know your name, and you want WHAT? Creep.β
For one, the presentation will shock them. For another, that indignant tone? EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS GOING TO WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS JUICY SHIT.
Now the second key here is, DONβT LET HIM JADE (justify, argue, defend, explain). He smiles and goes βI just wantedββ FUCKING INTERRUPT HIM. Firmly. Irritably. βI heard what you wanted, and Iβve already declined once. Maybe you should go back to kindergarten where they teach you no means no.β Run right over the fucker. Heβs not respecting your words, you donβt need to respect his.
A further note: if youβre an iPhone user, you can use Siri to call 911. (I know Android has a similar function, but I donβt know what it isβplay with your AI and find out.) If youβre in a secluded area, this works well; I used to walk home from work at 2am and had to do it twice. Make eye contact with your harasser, activate Siri, and loudly, firmly say βSiri, call 911.β Siri will immediately reply βcalling emergency services.β (It actually takes five seconds to activate, but thereβs a Call Now button if you need it.) Almost ALWAYS the person harassing you would rather take off than wait for you to get a dispatcher on the line.
As they say on the podcast,Β My Favorite Murder:
Fuck Politeness.
This is NOT the kind of thing I usually post on here, but this is something that every female [or, every person honestly, harrassment isnt a one way street]needs to see. This is a fairly active blog, so I hope to see numerous reblogs.
Who cares that this isnβt Harry Potter itβs important
