Some people are just so….

wired weirdly.
Was on the bus today, and sat in front of this loud mouthed aunty. She was blabbering on her phone at such a volume that every single person was practically in her conversation.
Me, being so bad assed tired and lethargic today decided to just move a few seats to the front but not before giving her the stink eye and a small sound of disapproval.
This lady started insulting me, hurling vulgarity at me like nobody’s business. Cursing me, my family, my ancestors. I was so mad when she started dissing my mum. I wanted to seriously go up to her and tell her that, “Yeah I have no dad, what you gonna do about it?” And moving along with me as I changed seats. I have no idea what’s she trying to do, is she trying to provoke me further by irritating me with her microphone voice? Is she gonna bitchslap me? But no, she just kept blabbering on about how young I am, how rude and disrespectful I was. Seriously, who is the unmannered one here, hurling vulgaruties and cursing my family. I doubt that is well mannered in any culture or any society. People were staring at her and the scene she was making and she felt no shame to stop but continued throwing insults.
Why would anybody do that? Are they constantly on the search for attention? Would it make them happy if I created a scene and started arguing with her on the bus? Does she want to make either one of us stomp famous? Even while on public transport, it is common courtesy to actually speak at a moderate volume and not be a mighty loudspeaker.
