They will rarely speak to say something kind, but to yell at you for pushing the "stop" button on the bus after someone else has already pushed it, or for walking on the wrong side of the bicycle path, or any other non-excuse to ♥♥♥♥♥ at you, they will indulge themselves. And often if you dare to do something nice, like hold open a door for someone or pick up something they dropped, they pretend not to notice or see you so they don't have to thank you.
ahhhh  I'm not there anymore  |
Trust me I have lived in some very bad places, and have had much worse things happen to me than the examples I gave. Those were just two minor things that make you wonder why people are such idiots.
And you may have misunderstood. But I think someone threatening to beat you up for doing absolutely nothing does constitute "something bad being said".
