On the bus, an elderly woman was scolding a young man for his tattoos, and the young man didnât pay her any attention⌠until this happened⌠đ¨đ¨
On the bus, the elderly woman would look at the young man in a white tank top, at his tattoo-covered arms, then suddenly turn to the window and mutter something under her breath.
The young man, wearing headphones, seemed completely detached â the music drowned out all the voices around him, and he didnât even notice the sideways glances. But at one point, the grandmother lost her patience:
â Well, what has happened to the youth today! â she exclaimed loudly. â Why do you have all this devilish stuff drawn on your body?
The young man pulled out one earbud and politely asked:
â Grandma, is something wrong?

She crossed herself, shook her head, and added:
â May your hands wither if you ruin your body with the needle again! And may each drawing make your soul darker!
The young man didnât reply. He just sighed deeply and turned to look out the window. The bus continued on, but the grandmother didnât stop:
â Oh, my blood pressure has risen because of you, rude boy! Thank God I donât have children like you. Shame, thereâs no youth left!
Suddenly, her face went pale, and she clutched her chest.
â Oh⌠I donât feel well⌠I canât breathe⌠â she rasped.
People on the bus looked away indifferently: some pretended not to hear, others simply turned away. No one moved.
Only the young man with tattoos removed his headphones and looked at her attentively. Then, unexpectedly for everyone, he said quietly but firmly⌠đ¨đ¨ Everyone was shocked by his words...Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments đ
