I took an evening train and i can't see that good like during the day but still, i saw a long hair, hoodie that i wear too and a person who didn't know how to open the doors of a train.
It's an older train and i struggle too but i thought i'll give a hand to this teenage girl. well, my help was useless but it was more of a surprise that a girl turned out to be a boy. i can never tell from the back when i see someone with a ponytail or a loosen long hair, ah
we just exchanged confused looks and that was it i'm sorry i'm not stronger to open the train doors and i wish these old trains get banned from travelling still, it was a funny experience

I once made a mistake I laugh about now
I met a girl on a club
I went back to her place with her
And found out she was a boy

the sliding doors, i would say stayed in the center and we passed by them but we couldn't move it more on the left. when i'm opening the doors, i also can't slide it more on the left. another funny thing is that some tall younger man or another teenage boy was far behind us and he didn't help at all. o, well

You reminded me of my first time I was in a train here in Germany coming back home from school. I was not able to open the door because I was not strong enough. I didn’t know how to speak German yet and so I spoke in English. At that time, English language was not yet popular. I was asking for help because the train started to move and I had to go out. Luckily a passenger opened the door for me.

we were exiting the train so we had time but, even though i tried to push door more on the left, the door didn't move but we had enough space for both of us to exit.
gosh.o, what a good passenger and what a scary experience but you acted so bravely
i feel that even today or some older germans, that they don't like talking in any other language other than german. i don't like it when some germans insist speaking in german, when they are on holiday in our country; i mean, i would advise using english or learn some croatian but, they are not that adapting.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between a boy and a girl. Here on this very platform a user has mistaken me for a woman
