    I think I just witnessed the funniest thing I’ve seen. I was waiting at the tram stop, and tram tracked said it was 15 min away, so I decided to just wait for it.

    A guy walks up with a backpack, he looks maybe ~50yo, and waits too. He has a ciggy and then when the traffic dies down he walks into the road a little to see if the tram is coming. It’s still a good 10min away according to my app, so I considered telling him this but decided I couldn’t be arsed with socialising.

    He walks onto the road, checking, and coming back a few times, getting more agitated. At this point there’s myself and him, and 4 other women waiting. A tram is coming, I check the app but it still says 5 minutes, so I figure the one coming is not in service. The guy sees it too and thinks it’s THE tram, and when it blows past through the intersection (it said “not taking passengers”), he loses his damn mind! Yelling at the tram that’s now disappearing down the road, gesticulating wilding, swearing, the works haha me and the other women are like 👀 at him because he’s right in the middle of us (loosely grouped) 😂😂 he doesn’t direct any of it at us though, and grabs his bag and storms off.

    2 min later the actual tram arrives and we get on, angry guy not in sight. I get a window seat and we take off. I look out the window and there’s the guy on the footpath 😂😂😂😅 he spots the tram and loses his damn mind again!!! I couldnt hear him of course, but he kicked his bag and gesticulated again 😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing!!!

    I hope he made it to his destination! Thanks to him, the 15 minute wait felt like no time at all!
