I think the woman who started to criticize the woman eating spaghetti was out of line. The subway commute is not the time and the place to give etiquette lessons to complete strangers who didn’t seem to have been bothering her in the first place.

We didn’t see the whole incident, so maybe the two younger women did single her out and insult her first, but it really looks like she just picked a fight.

That's how I saw it as well.

Exactly. People need to keep this fact in mind when watching these types of youtube videos. The cameras never get turned on until after the first exchange took place. As such, all these videos leave a very important element out of the story; who started it.

Our entire needs to take two or three steps up the ladder of civility and class.

Most people in densely populated areas act like they are nothing more than animals.
