C**** on a Train

Simple solution . Give the auld deaf ladies your seats , get off the train feeling morally superior for your good deed , get on the train they were supposed to be on which will be practically empty now and have a full table each to yourselves if u want and no queue at the drink counter .

Only doable if your ticket is not train specific. If I had a reserved seat on a particular train, there's no way I'd be conceding it to anyone, regardless of their age or sensory ability. The train operator's problem if they're on the wrong train.

Bollocks. I have every sympathy for auld deaf ladies (my grandmother was one) but in this case the OP was 100% in the right so why should he have to hump all his luggage onto another train?

I would add that a few months ago I was in the ADL's shoes - I got on the train before the one I was supposed to be on because it was so late. Fortunately the guard announced this before it left the platform so I was able to get off again. But if it had moved off there's no way I would have argued with the person in *my* seat that I was entitled to it.

When the guy comes to check the tickets.

Or when anyone asks about seats.

To get back on topic though, you're a c**t if you don't follow the universal rule of when someone asks you if the train they are on is the right one, and even when you know full well that it is, you don't do that awkward laugh and go "well I hope so!"

 

On the 22:30 from Waverley on Friday night to Queen Street and a foreign gentleman asked if it was the train to Glasgow as we approached Linlithgow as "I've never stopped at Linlithgow before" and he wasn't sure if the train actually went to Glasgow - the onboard signs telling us that the next stop was Haymarket all journey not helping.

Some paralytic weegie moron then spent 5 minutes shouting "NAW MANCHESTER MATE!" - what a fantastic spectacle it was, to see a native in full flight whilst everyone around him looked the other way or tutted.

I'm not debating that he was 100% in the right , just saying if he was quicker thinking he would have the luxury of a near empty train to travel home in peace in whilst coming off looking like a good guy as well. Don't know what his luggage situation was tbf .

Never get off a train that you have a seat on, going to your destination. This is especially true when there is the "promise" of another train in a few minutes.

Or the Brexit theory, as it's known.

There's a c**t that smells of wee. This train is packed. He's turning to face a totally different direction every 20 seconds, like he can't stand still like a child. And he smells of wee.

Maybe he thinks he is a clock?

Pished himself and is desperately trying to avoid eye contact. Have some sympathy.

How can a clock pish itself?

I was going to say grandfather clock, but I didn't want to assume the clocks gender.

On a train - surely a carriage clock?

[Bold Rover]

Was he cuckoo?

[nsr]

If one of the train staff was a clock, would he be a ticking inspector?

The hand knitted cùnt next to me has just made himself a hot chocolate and put a Harry Potter film on his laptop. He's about 50!

The old cùnt opposite has just asked me to "stop smashing her". (Not in that way). She seems to have brought the contents of a small country with her and crammed them under the table. My feet are tucked under my seat and I'm still making contact with her stuff.

She will be reading yer messages via the window. Silly move. Goodbye ankles

 

In the last minute she has produced a cold toast triple decker, the filling smells like something she vomited up yesterday.

I didn't have to be in work in Glasgow til 1030 today. 

A quiet off peak train is an absolute delight.
