Sounds to me like a well known disease that train commuters have "See
A Head Kick It".
I have been on the recieving end of this disease on many occasions.
Symtoms are:
Red face followed by puffed up shoulders.
Treatment: Apoligise for the delay.
If that treatment doesn't work the patient suffers "Waving arm
syndrome".
Treatment: Again be humble and apoligise again.
If that doesn't work, tell em to "piss off and tell someone who
cares".
