Public transport always provides a lot of SPOTDs. The SPOTD for this day was proof that once the government officially began to dictate that people with reduced mental faculties should not be institutionalised, there was an unofficial decision to make public transport a form of mobile institution where mental patients could roam free.

A “special” young man wandered up and down the length of the tram constantly whilst he was on board, pausing only to state the blinding obvious to random people, then scare the crap out of them. For example, he paused slightly behind the seat of one woman, turned and leaning in close to her exclaimed in an oddly excited voice.

SPOTD: You’ve got a pony tail. A pony tail. You’ve got a pony tail.
Woman (baffled): Er, yes.
SPOTD: Mmmm… I’d better not touch it. I’d better not touch your pony tail.
Woman (slightly panicked): U-h-h-h-h, no. You’d better not.

And with that, the SPOTD wandered off to tell someone else they had green pants and he’d better not touch the pants.
