Have you ever been in a public place and asked someone to stop smoking? Say you are waiting for a bus or a train, and you think the waiting area is nonsmoking - and then a great big gust of cigarette smoke wanders into you. If you were very sensititve to cigarette smoke, maybe you'd make a show of being affected by the smoke, waving your hands in front of your face and coughing. Or maybe you'd simply ask the smoker to put out the cigarette.
But then what if the smoker didn't put out his or her cigarette? What if, instead of putting out their cigarette, they punched you in the nose?
That's exactly what happened to a woman in Melbourne, Australia. Police are asking the public's assistance in finding the assailant.

I was on the NYC Subway not so long ago when a large group of rowdy high school students got on the train. An older African American woman took it upon herself to go over and try to calm the kids down. I was waiting for those kids to punch her out. They stopped for a couple of minutes and went back to being loud. The lady tried again and the whole situation repeated itself. Much to my surprise, the students were relatively nice to the lady.Not quiet, but they at least pretended to listen.
