All he had to do was call for the transport police and they would have dealt with the matter at the next station

Why do we correct someone for such 'minor' behavior but let other bigger issues go unsaid??

Well seats are for sitting on and the seats on a train are for other passengers, they're not there so people can sprawl out. Trains are generally packed to the brim with people so what makes them think they're so special

Originally posted by pacharan View PostWas on train at weekend opposite 2 girls curled up asleep WITH THEIR FEET on the seats.
Inspector came, woke them up and asked them to remove their feet from the seats ad other people have to sit there.
They responded with a load of abuse. Train was full but nobody chipped in to stick up for the inspector.
Didn't want the hassle. Feel ashamed really now so next time I see someone with their feet up I will tell them to remove them immediately.
What would you do?

These days anyone who these a word against the little darlings will be accused of being a paedophile and arrested. Sign of the times.
