Woman pleasures herself in train – other passengers not amused

The police on Friday said they had arrested a woman having a good time with herself and a vibrator on a train in Bavaria. Despite rubbing her fellow passengers the wrong way, she claimed she didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.

But fellow passengers in the open-plan carriage who weren’t quite as easy going as she was found themselves stimulated in a different way. They complained to the train conductor, who then informed the federal police.
When the woman reached Würzburg, she was met by police officers and taken to a nearby station.
Police said the “flippant woman” admitted to having used the vibrator in the train, but showed no understanding as to why others might see public masturbation as inappropriate. She did not find the fact that a child had been sitting nearby especially problematic.
However, she will likely have to pay for her free-and-easy attitude. Police charged her with indecent behaviour, which is punishable by a fine or up to a year in jail.

@ But Jimberlin: what does this have to do with hippies!? haha =P Why are you assuming she's a hippie?
hey, you don't want to know what I have done in an airplane toilet... BUT... if you feel you must pleasure yourself while using mass transportation, please do it where others can't see you, like, in the toilet or in the pricacy of a compartment where you can lock the door and pull the curtains and all.
Thank you, that is all.
Starting to feel like Alice in Wonderland...
How come I always miss out on things like that. Love teh freedom, Now I wonder, ws she seom hot porno type or soem fat no one would look at type? There I go showing off my ignorance. I wonder if she used Duracell, or soem Eco-friendly rechargeable batteries made by BASF?
An airplane pilot introduces himself to his passengers over the intercom after takeoff, then puts down the microphone but doesn't realize it's still on, and everybody on the plane can hear him say "Alright, all I need now is a coffee and a bl**j**..." The stewardess in the back of the plane is shocked, and rushes to the front of the plane to tell the pilot. Seeing this, one of the passengers shouts at her "Don't forget the coffee, honey!!"
but now, we see the same/similar thing here.. and we are just laughing.. hahahaa
Lady: Yes, but I might get off before.
yeah... next thing you know, people will think that you don't go deaf and blind from masturbating... we surely can't have that...
Would they have still liked the whole thing? Or would they still say:" well done, I wish I were there"...
It is sad that we are still living in a macho based culture...
Same thing I said above... if you must pleasure yourself while on a train, do so where others can't see you... the toilet, or a locked compartment with the curtains closed. Man or woman, let's not discriminate.
And I disagree that we have a macho culture... it has in fact become more an anti-male feminist culture, even here in Germany. A man probably would have been dragged straight to jail for the one-year maximum... because there's apparently still something innocent about fiddling your lady bits in public, while a man spanking his monkey in front of people makes himself a dangerous sex offender in the eyes of some... again, I am not arguing in favor of public masturbation where everybody can see you get yourself off, but there might be more subtext to this incident than meets the eye.
Maybe the Deutsche Bahn should stop advertising travelling by train as hands free.
But I am surprised that this individual could not understand that people were uncomfortable with this in public,,am I to believe that she has done this before in full public view with out incident...I think there is more to this story and individual than we know.
Isn't the official slogan still "Die Bahn kommt" - "The rail (she) comes"?
I wouldn't be surprised, if someone takes this literally. After all, not only environmentalists travel by train but also all sorts of people who can't pass the driver's license test.
And I've seen similar with couples on the night trains multiple times, but no one took offence.
wrong, this crazy person will have a bad influence on the community. Psychologically it can hurt the people and community.
I've read your comments on Erdogan and Merkel concerning Cyprus and I know what sides you've taken. So how about starting to judge the whole of the Pakistani (insert adjective here, starting with an "I" or with an "M") Society based on the murders taking place there? The persecution of religious minorities? How about dismissing the whole "Egyptian muslims" as a bunch of rabid murderers solely based on the bomb in the Church on New Year's day?
Generalisation - the most intelligent thing to do in such cases. Bah.
