Train Rage!

[Old Greg]

Was on the usual hour long train this morning – it was 2 cars instead of the usual 4.

Pleasant journey – usual 2 minutes before we arrive some of us stand up and line up to the doorway.

Now, it was a busy train, most seats taken. There was a guy at the top by the door with a whole row to himself. Yet, he was elbows and arms into me being a pain and said I was boxing him in. I pointed out politely that I was just queuing in the aisle to get off so he rants again. I told him to have a coffee. He told me to read a book. I asked him for a suggestion – he used F’s and C word. Nice guy…. Anyway, as I was leaving I bid him a very nice day and suggested he may with to read the DI Nixon series as a way of enhancing his vocabulary. Not a word back….

What would Gricerboy have done?

Inspected his ticket and clipped it.

Next time say nothing, but give him a cold hard stare. Do NOT break his gaze until he looks away.

May i recommend something slightly different... Do *not* engage in any way. Ignore and carry on.

I find that people looking for trouble find it most frustrating when they don't get a response.

They used to write their own material, you know. Some of it was Cannon's, but most of it was Balls.

They used to be in a band called The Shambolics. Sham left so they formed a duo.

Ah, you're reading Paddington Bear books now? Well done for progressing from Peter and Jane

Indeed - next time offer him some Marmalade sandwiches - very calming.

There's hope yet for Cannon and Ball

What would Gricerboy have done?

ISTR he was part of some sinister, clandestine, guerilla rail enthusiast outfit who were wont to perform such delights as urinating over anyone who dared cross their path.

Did you not get your butler to do fisticuffs with him?
