What's your problem Dan.

Not sure why I just read that. Or why I'm writing this comment. What am I doing with my life?

I don’t understand
AnonOmis1000
So this guy I'm assuming was posting pictures of trains on Twitter. This random bitch then commented what you see above.
bs13690
Usually any reference I don't get I assume has something to with Game of Thrones. Maybe not this time.
PracticalCactus
No it was he should have put a spoiler warning
theoshadowfang
This actually did happen in the third book. Danaerys takes up trainspotting and Cersei loses her mind about it. Didnt make it to the show.
lunniykorabl
Stay strong Ted, trains is hard job.
Derodric
Because trains are cool DAN!

Love this movie
rza33boo
Repo man? I can't remember. What is it? But whatever the title it is a great movie!
dadrph
Men at Work. Very very funny. Keith David had a great role in it too. Murder mystery comedy.
CorneliusCornwall
Are you the media?
BrassXD
This just seemed weird

Its cause she's the media. and only the media can do things

Is Dan a girl or a guy. I am confuse.
butdontcallmeshirley
Did you just assume there was a gender????

I apologize
BestThingSinceKimboSlicedBread
Yes
squindiggly
Dan can be short for Danielle or Dani or Daenerys Targaryen. Going by profile pic I assume female

MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
Ted is one of a ton of Trainspotters. They like trains enough to meticulously document them.
Shoelebubba
Those train hobbyists are some of the most passionate and deep walleted fellows I've met in scale model circles
MacClay
And man oh man is it great when they start fighting with each other.
sillyenglishknigit
It can seriously be one of the most toxic communities. There's some great parts, but active groups/clubs end up horribly toxic.
silvermoon88
I'm part of a virtual model train community, it's EXTREMELY toxic! People doxing and attacking others, stealing assets... insane
sillyenglishknigit
Believe me, I know this far, far, far too well.
MacClay
I saw one guy yell at another guy because he was using cheap unweathered stock to test a helix. Said he was just playing with toys.
sillyenglishknigit
Half my stuff is unpainted, constantly cop crap for it. Turned me well off several clubs...
MacClay
Seriously though, why would you TEST a track with $4,000 in stock instead of $150?
MacClay
They get even madder when you point out they are getting mad at you for not playing with your toys 'right'.
SexualSandwich
Can confirm. Foamers all over taking pics of trains. Some put themselves in a dangerous spot just for the perfect pic.
AnonOmis1000
Foamers?
SexualSandwich
Like trains so much they foam at the mouth.
AnonOmis1000
There's really no on like that
SexualSandwich
It’s what railroaders call people who take pics of trains.
AnonOmis1000
I'm one and I've never heard anyine say that
regregex
Friend of mine did that, he was chuffed to bits
OnePunchGonz
Why is she so concerned
kapune
Because trains have feelings too. They are not chooing for you pervs to be wooing!

JayEnfield
I know a sikh guy who went to DC, and some lady had the cops haul him off the subway because he was writing in a journal. Like a terrorist.

Did he get draxxed sklounst? Seriously though, I hope your sikh friend gets well soon.

Oh, this was many years ago.

Her name is Dan

she hates trains people
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
I rail against people like that. So intolerant.
YewSirName
Really steams me, choo know?
BadImgurer
it's a hard job
fearandloathinginaz
Because some terrorists could find the train ('track it' so to speak) and hijack it to drive into a big building

Dan seems like a twat. Not so sure about possessing one.

A fascists dictator wet dream citizen. Such aware. Much correct.

Speaking of fascism, I bet she's on the board of the homeowners association
MateriaMedica
I was there for that twitter thread; Dan was arguing it was a matter of National Security in addition to plenty of other dumb shit.
GoliathSkittles
They must be shocked when they learn what CCTV cameras are
GreaterDog
Oh whoa, Dan's a man? Didn't read the name, just saw the pic.
comacomacomacomachameleon
I'm not sure if they've noticed, but trains have pre-defined locations. Follow the tracks.
CherryEmpress
What, do they think terrorists or whatever wouldn’t otherwise be able to find pictures of trains or their schedules?
JohnBluehill
Ooooh... No one tell Dan that people photograph airplanes.
brownribbon
Photography is not a crime!
VenDei
Why? I mean, you can look into their schedules, it's not like they are a secret. You can look them up even for freight trains here.
KoRplussomeletters
Even the friggin' *nuclear waste trains* are public information.
Dionysus187
How do you know this? Do you work for the rail company? Are you the media?

Yes, I am the media. Or, actually, media. Media is my name, my parents were strange.
ianburrito
Her Twitter bio says she's a journalist for Chicago 1 News and her work focuses on Chicago public transport. Not saying she isn't being 1/2
ianburrito
rude in the Tweet, because I think she is. Just that she might in fact know what she's talking about, or at least feel like she does. 2/2
WodenEmrys
She also claimed the ppl who filmed that dude getting beaten and thrown off the United flight should be arrested by the FBI, so maybe she's1

TrustmeIamdutch
As a secrurity officer for the Dutch Raulways stay off the tracks, don't get in anyone's way. Enjoy your hobby.
TrustmeIamdutch
2/2 the timetables of most trains are easily obtainable and it makes people happy to take pictures of trains. That can be seen everywhere!
OnePunchGonz
I think you hit the nail on the head with the "thinks she does" part

Someone else linked this: they're a convoluted mess: http://www.phillyvoice.com/dan-hensley-explains-why-she-left-twitter/ tl;dr in reply
SkippedOver
tl;dr: They gave false legal information on Twitter, then said they did it intentionally to spark a dialogue, and just: read the 1/2
nicholcm
then she would know about the hobby, obvioualy
Kar16
Because HER name would appear to be DAN

I've seen some utter monstrosities in my life. Could've been a woman for all I knew.
cuzitsthere
I mean... It IS Mrs. Dan Hensley....
paulPoster
True enough.
VirginSurgeon
Because her own life is so unhappy that she has to shit on other people’s fun. Btw, it’s called “rail-fanning” and lots of people do it
TresusIbor
That sounds like mooning people out the window of a passing train.
esquilaxhunter
We used to call then "gunzels" when I was working on the ghan and indian pacific (Aussie trains)
ctennessen
I feel like it has always been trainspotting. Like always
B99Reactions
What ppl say when they have shit hobbies
EneZio
No fucking idea how they can find it fun but it ain’t hurting me so go for it

I bet even more people would do it if it wasn't named so scary.

I grew up in a town full of train tracks so I hate trains but I'm not gonna shit on other people's fun if it ain't bothering me
MyBigMouth
Trainspotting if you're in the UK... and no, it doesn't involve Scotsmen taking drugs.
shimmernshine
The sequel was so bad...
Whybotherbeingcreative
It could tho
KNOWLEDGEisPowerwastaken
That you're aware of
GnomeDeGuerre
Well, it could and wouldn't it be a more exciting thing to include?

My initial thoughts exactly, thanks for clearing it up ;]

Oh my lord. I wish I hadn’t watched that
YourVeryDisappointedMother
Because they foam at the mouth in excitement
silvermoon88
yeah ive met a few of those... they're definitely not people to be around when a train comes by, oh boy
sillyenglishknigit
Or other places...
SomeDetroitGuy
When my Dad was into it back in the 50s, it was called "train spotting".
speelydan
I thought that was heroin. lol
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
That’s what I’ve always known it as too.
DavidBrooker
Fun fact: planspotters uncovered the CIA's program of extraordinary rendition. Only people who notice strange aircraft registrations.
squishybaker
it's still called trainspotting.
animalrv
I thought train spotting was whenever you get the first sign of your period while travelling.

Trainspotting is also an amazing movie and a pretty good book aswell.

Thanks, I'm really into trains so I'm sure I'll love this movie.
YerDadSellsAvon
Yeah it had an amazing scene with a wee baby in it, you'll love it
spiceass9000
Train spotting to me is when someone’s accent is so heavy you can’t understand them. Because the movie
metalfoto
The movie was named after the fact some junkies are obsessed with trainspotting while high
BonkVEVO
I thought it was named that because heroin is fun for those who do it but from outside looking in makes zero sense. Like trainspotting.
