London Morning Commute

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I have to laugh at my morning commute sometimes…otherwise I would cry.


Thursday 29th Oct:

Didn’t get on a train until the 3rd one today. Thought I had got myself a good spot on the otherside of the pole…but no…got pushed into a space that didnt exsist, by a rather large girl that was whinging about being pushed….loose some weight! I am only small and people think it is ok to push me into a space where I have to bend in a funny way

Got on the tube next and squeezed on, but no luck in getting near a pole to hold on to. Had to balance in the middle, and when the train pulls into the station I wobble into the person next to me who shoves me out of the way…Stop hogging the pole Bitch and I wouldn’t fall into you!

Monday 2nd Nov:
Wow got to love those people that ‘get taken ill’ on the train. On my way home, I had a slow walker infront of me so couldn’t run to get onto the train. The result of this slow walker… I had to wait 30 minutes for the next train because of the ill person…brilliant! One ill person backed up every train coming in and out of Waterloo, which meant I had to squeeze onto an already packed train and have some women say to me ‘there is no room’ I know that but could you move your prissy little arse and let me squeeze on….I want to get home to!

Tuesday 3rd Nov:
Another lovely commute….trains must have had a delay somewhere, no doubt because of some leaves on the tracks. Took 3 trains before I got on and had to bend into an odd shape to get on.

Next I get to the tube again really busy, but I had to laugh otherwise I might have cried!! Then I had some entertainment on the train…some guy having a go at any person that lent into him…get over yourself…he had a yellow tie on as well!

Wednesday 4th Nov:
Nothing happened to me today, but I did over hear a conversation that made me laugh. It went something like:
Imagine a packed rush hour tube.
Pregnant Women: ‘Excuse me, could you move over slightly, I need some space’
Big man carrying to bags, taking up the space of 3 people: ‘Why? I don’t have much space either, and there is nothing wrong with you, you’re not ill!’
Pregnant Women: ‘Yes, but I am carrying and you have space next to you’
Big Man: Silence
Big Man: ‘Look woman, don’t make me feel like an idiot, why don’t you ask for a seat then?’
Pregnant Women: silence.

I mean what an idiot that man made himself look.
