on the train

so just quickly so I don't sound like a whinger.

Travelling on the train really isn't the most fun part of my day. I'm not a morning person and after work I just want to get home, and we all know how you sorta enter that bubble when you are on public transport - you become less aware that there are other people around - this has its advantages, it helps you block out weirdos and smelly people, but its not so good at blocking out jerks.

This morning when I hope on the train with my boyfriend (Reid) we had to stand (as per usual), and there was this guy leaning on one of the poles. So Reid, trying to be the gentleman, kindly asks this guy if he could move a little so I could hold onto the pole and he says "its holding me up" HUH??

. . . . . its holding me up??? what is that??? MOVE THE HELL OVER YOU JERK!

Of course Reid cracks it! How about the guy standing in the middle who has to steedy himself by holding onto the roof of the train???

Now, what’s the big deal stop whinging about silly little things? Really my point is why are people so inconsiderate of others, when we got on the train and the guy noticed we didn't have anything to hold onto why didn't he just move over out of courtesy, and then when we politely asked him to shimmy over a little he said NO! Rude arse!

just to finish - usually when I am travelling on my own I don't say anything, I just twister myself around to I can get a tiny grip on the pole with my finger tips and I always thought how can people be so unaware of their surroundings not to notice that I'm practically wrapped around them - well, maybe they do know that I'm there and they don't care. Its times like these I wish I believed in karma!
