I was seated near the restaurant wagon on an international train. I had my headphones on and wasn't aware of what was going on, but suddenly there was a ruckus that got my attention.

A lady has gotten into an argument with a train employee about the beer to foam ratio in her cup. Apparently there was some name calling involved before I got to listen into the conversation, but she literally called for the manager. Eventually the police was called (which already meant delays for the train) and since it was basically the "border station", the police told Karen that she had to get off the train if she wants to press charges. And then the strangest thing happened:

She just said no. She paid for her ticket, she's not getting off ... and the fucking police caved. They held the train and interviewed her on it. Why, I do not know. It seems so insane.

I was so lucky that I could get out of the train at the station we stopped and get home at a reasonable time ... but I never wanted to throw beer at someone's face that much. Fuck this lady in particularity ...

You want to hear the story?

Interesting. I guess there is a lot of metrics and rules to apply to make a count. Still, she's like 2nd?

In the past: Wikipedia, The Red Cross, The Document Foundation.

Should all be pretty self-explanatory.

Pretty sure a lot of artists that are just scratching by would disagree, but fair enough.

Sure, but when you asking about a specific profession, that seems the most obvious way to interpret that question.

Unless OP just wants to find a nice female author to hang out with (in that case we should probably exclude all the dead ones).

Some people are about to lose their marbles but just going by the numbers: J. K. Rowling.

She authored the 4th best selling single book of all time and the best selling book series of all time, by quite the margin.

  • Super Hero movies

  • almost anything Disney produces these days.

An entire international high-speed train was delayed for almost 2 hours because Karen got the police called over having too much foam in her beer.

I certainly remember the age of "key-gens" when you still had keys on the back of the CDs that you bought. But the internet wasn't quite up for actually downloading entire games, yet (it would take weeks or months. Heck, mp3s took days back then).

Yeah, I'm kind of old.
