Yes and I think it happens quite often on transit. My sister's friend was riding a TTC bus and a man in the seat behind her started puking. She turned around and asked if he needed to get off the bus. He responded "this isn't a f$&(ing taxi" and proceeded to keep on yelling profanities at her until she finally got up from her seat and left the bus because she felt so uncomfortable. This was in morning rush hour and everybody else on the bus around her just did and said nothing.
