Indiscriminate Terrorism
The other day I was scrolling through news when I came across an article concerning terrorism. Recently there have been many indiscriminate acts of terrorism around the world. Fortunately, we haven’t had any big attacks yet in Japan, however, it feels like we sometimes get involved in one while on the train.One type of terrorism is the perfume of women. Imagine that you are squeezing into a jammed train during rush hour, and then a woman steps in the door and is stuck in just beside you. And she put way too much perfume on. You might choke and cough, and everyone on the train would also be about to die momentarily. What’s worse, you smell like it too. You are steeped in it, and it has become you. I consider it as a random act of terrorism.
Next one is leaky headphones. I guess many people have experienced this. Suddenly, loudly, from the leaky headphones of the cute girl beside me in the train comes heavy metal. Me no happy, and my fresh morning mood is gone. Another day a guy on the train was listening to an anime song 4 times in a row. He took us all into his anime world that none of us wanted, and I went to my job interview singing the song to myself.
The third one is McDonald’s take away. There are at least three people who fill the carriage with the smell of McDonald's per year. Its French fries smell is particularly strong. Looking to my left, nothing, looking to my right, also nothing ... where on earth is that McDonald smell coming from? It’s like a torture for someone who is feeling very hungry.
You might form a negative image to these indiscriminate terrorisms on the train. Yes, they can be uncomfortable, sometimes even painful if your eyes and throat are burning from an acrid perfume. However, I guess it’s not always bad. Even if you felt sore at the time, you can have a good laugh about it later. It can spice up your daily commute a little bit. If I have to commute somewhere, I’d rather it be a hilarious ride.
Very amusing and well written!
