When he gets into the lift he focuses on the bottom corner and refuses to look up. It&#8217;s the strained expression on his face that makes me wonder how much he hates social interaction.<\/li>\n<li>The drunken couple on the Metro; another classic example that unravels itself like a story. They both get on but clearly have had an arguement so sit at opposite ends of the train. After a couple of minutes the woman gets up and paces down the Metro and starts slapping the man. Then they enter into this bizarre display (on the seats opposite me no less) that looks as though they are trying to fight and f*ck at the same time, sometimes kissing, sometimes hitting. Twice they fall off their seats into a heap on the floor. I crank the Klaxons up to 10 and look desperately out the window.<\/li>\n<li>The dog with the huge p*nis (and flaunts it at you as he runs past).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My life would be so dull without them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living in Newcastle you do get a fair share of crazies coming up\u00a0to you in the street.
