So today I ran into my first crazy Italian person on the Tram.
The tram was very crowded, as is usual on a weekday morning. I step on the tram, and take my place near the center pole. A woman accidently steps on another woman's foot, about 2 feet from me. The one whose foot was stepped on, rather than shrugging off an accident that happens in a crowded place, started screaming at the woman about her foot. This continued and then just became a constant scream of "Basta! Basta! Basta!" very loudly, very close
Everyone on the tram made a circle of open air around this woman, as big a one as possible, which wasn't so big. I, and about 5 other people got off the tram at the next stop. However, once more people came on, I heard the tram pull away, with the screaming beginning anew.
Not a good experience, but considering how open a tram system it is, this being the first experience in two months is pretty small.
In case I haven't said before, my roommate Time is a snorer, but only when he's on his back. When he is though...sawing is not strong enough of a noise ;) It was bad enough that Saturday night, I actually grabbed my mattress off my bed, carried it to the living room, and slept in their. Unfortunately, this drastic measure didn't occur to me until like 4 in the morning, so Sunday was one long day.
