Big Fifer Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 As a 6ft4 behemoth, I make no apologies for heading straight to a table so I can sit comfortably, and I won't let the judgement of you 5ft8 wee-legged midgets stop me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 It's interesting that since the groundswell in support of the solo passenger parking him or herself at the table, not one person has put forward an argument about why that sort of behaviour is unacceptable. Probably because it totally is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 You only need a table if. A, you are in a group 3+ B, you are doing work on a laptop C, you have brought some kind of meal Anything outside that and you're just a selfish p***k. Imagine 3 complete strangers sitting at a table just staring at their phones as a group of 4 get on and have to all sit apart when they would have interacted with each other. Knob head behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Working on a laptop on a train marks you down as a cūnt.On the bog standard commute to work, yes, but on a train heading south it’s not the case. Often get the train when working down south and generally get a few hours to catch up on things both ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're travelling cattle, or even first class your clearly not that important to the organisation that your input is so valuable it can't wait. Or your work is so unimportant that it's not even confidential or sensitive enough to avoid possible disclosure. I prescribe you keep it in the bag, eat pies and drink as a cure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a long train journey, then 9 times out of 10 I'll either be working on a laptop, drinking cans or doing something else that requires a table. If you're in a group of 3, then come join me at our table of 4. I've got good chat. If you're in a group of 4, then you can pair off to the spare double seats I've kindly left for you. The mere idea that as a solo traveller, I should leave the much more comfortable and spacious seats on the off-chance that a group of 4 who can't bear the thought of not talking to all 3 other mates for a journey is quite frankly laughable. I've once given up my comfy table before for a mother travelling with three young kids. But I can't think of another situation where I should be expected to move or not sit there in the first place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A privacy screen keeps out the nosey wankers like yourself.My lion taming business for the UK wide circus is extremely important and if it failed then it would bring this fine nation to its knees! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 You're all lucky b*****ds if you have such options of which seats to choose from when commuting. Most of the time I'm just happy to be standing near the button so I can get off the fucking train quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 1. Why on earth would you want to sit at a table to yourself and increase the chances of being hemmed in by a group of inevitably infuriating humans. Take the airline seats you morons, they still have small tables. 2. My old job required a lot of travelling about on the train quite often, taking up most of my day. If I didn't do work on the train I'd be spending my entire evening catching up on it, so yeah, I'll be the c**t working on the train if I have to. I'd much rather be sat drinking cans and doing f**k all though. Shit happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are reduced though, and you're unlikely to have to listen to their inane chat. It's about probabilities Gordon. Plus a few cans of beer will see them away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit in the aisle seat of the table section, make sure the laptop plug/cable covers most of the table. Plenty of cans of beer and make sure and make as much noise as possible to ensure no one attempts to sit down near you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 As funny as that sounds, I'm always more inclined to get myself into a normal 2 seat, put my bag down next to me and have the laptop on top of my lap. Whilst my beer and selected munchy sit on the flip down on the seat next to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
