Trains and the people on them

Post by Tas » 28th Feb, '08, 07:31

Punchworthy stuff.

What the frig is wrong with the average person. Three person seats (when a not fat person is in them) on a train jammed to the rafters in peak periods and people don't move over or leave their frigg'n stupid handbag on the seat. And in two person seats what the f'ck is it with sitting right up in the middle and leaving the seat next to the window free?!?!?!?

I know it's agressive, but I don't care anymore and I stand there and ask if I can please sit down. AND THE F'WITs might slightly move their knees back and force you to squeeze past and squish into the middle in a very awkward way, if they bother at all. I think maybe 1 in 40 use their brain and just slide across. I'm getting closer and closer to swiping 'em in the head with my handbag these days and see if they wake up!! And I don't get the average person who will stand next to these seflish idiots and just accept it while getting bashed around in the jammed aisles. I understand people don't like confrontation and the like, but it doesn't have to resort to rudeness for crying out loud basic courtesy.

Jeeezz it just typify's the problems of the world that people just stand there and don't take action on the obvious!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

ok rant over now............

That just remind me of a Ben Elton sketch "double seat, double seat, gotta get a double seat".

Unfortunately I can't find it on youtube.

Buses are the same here. I've got it down to a fine art where I have my laptop bag over my shoulder and walk over them and whack them with it in the face. Then say "oohhhh I'm so so so sorry". Then repeat the same when I get up. [smilie=rollingpin.gif]
