    This is one thing I’m not looking forward to with getting back on PT, especially on the 109. It’s unbelievable what people think they can say and do in public. The silent stares and being ignored in shops is bad enough

      It’s the ranting meth heads that piss me off. I’m catching PT with my young kids (I don’t drive) teaching them how to use it, and I’ve got to teach them how to deal with that as well. At least they know I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Better that they learn early from a trusted adult how to regulate themselves around that kind of behaviour (being vigilant and sensible but also not dehumanising or disproportionately anxious/fearful). I grew up in a country with very safe and accessible PT and very little violent public behaviour (especially drug induced), it was a mindfuck getting used to it here as a young adult.
