WTF? Selfish behaviour whinge

This is a small rant about poor behaviour. I know it is an all too familiar site these days but even so...

I caught the train out to St Albans yesterday to go riding in countryside without first having to cover too many traffic laden miles to get away from London. The train was pretty empty. Sat across the ailse from me was a guy in a smart suit fiddling with a blackberry and paperwork. He took out a sandwich bag with a ham sarnie in, ate up to the crusts and then threw the crusts on the floor infront of him. He did the same for the second half of his sandwich. I leaned across and pointed out to him that there was a bin two seats away and if he didn't want to eat his crusts he might think instead about putting them in the bin. His response? "yeah, whatever mate." I get sick of this kind of me me me attitude and the general ignorance of people. As I got up to leave, I repeated my observations to him which illicited a "just fuck off" from him. What a total wanker.

I feel better now.

Perhaps he has shares in a train-cleaning subcontractor?

Elicited.
But you're right, he's just another symptom of the moral decay that's sweeping through the heart of this country. :-((

Your quite write Platini. Sloppy proof reading pre posting.

you should have kicked him in the face...its the only way he will learn.

i would have been tempted to piss on his shoes -

"but there's a toilet in the next carriage"

yeah,so what you antisocial twat - Fuck Off!

I'm not for violence. But as he's in a suit and clearly on his way to a meeting or back to the office, a bloody nose would've suited him.

The old MTB in the face is a good one too..

Good on you for saying something. Bet you he will use the bin next time.

well done for saying something.

just think, if everyone did that, then he and others like him might just actually get the message eventually...

the famous "British reserve" is outdated in the face of most ASB these days

says it all really

I 'made a stand' against littering on a train once. I was in a bad mood so did it loud enough for other passengers to hear, though I was the only one who could see the orange peel being subtly dropped on the floor..
The perp' protested that he was gonna pick it up after finishing his 2nd orange. I watched him pick up all his crap off the dirty floor and place it in the bin. Wot a bare-faced liar!!
We then had a strained conversation about the weather and our respective journeys.

my mum has liked you ever since!

You mentioned your mum - and I channeled this drawing... spooky!

I really, really hate litter louts. Perhaps more than bike thieves, because there's nothing in it for a litter lout; they aren't doing it to feed a crack habit or whatever. they drop litter because they don't give a fuck about anyone else. It's selfish and it's lazy. It's like parking in your car in a bus stop with the hazards on, or riding your bike on the pavement or crossing pedestrian crossings on red. The world would be a better place if everyone just stopped doing it.

i took my bike on a fairly busy train to malvern, around 3.30 on a friday. i positioned it as far out of the way in the 'vestibule' as i could.

some 'next' business man got on with a big briefcase made of iron, but clad in leather, and proceeded to sort of savage my bike in an attempt to get past, moaning and cursing. i saw him, but was disbelieving. eventually i snapped out of my trance, and leapt up and to try and move it but he just clouted it out the way, marking the top tube.

on this rare occasion i gave him a piece of my mind, in front of many startled passengers. i think i snapped because i saved for two and a half years to buy this particular bike. the conversation went pretty much thus:

"that's my bike" (calm)
"it was in my way"
"i could have moved it very easily, and was about to, and it wasn't in your way' (less calm)
'yes it was, and i was in a hurry, it shouldn't be here'
'well, it should be here, because the guard told me to put it here, and it has its won special ticket. and the next time you want violently rape someone's bicycle with your briefcase of death just because you're in a hurry then give me call, in the meantime, don't even think about touching it again or i'll do the same thing to you that you just did to my toptube' (extremely pissed off).

the lady who i had been conversing freely with up untiil that point agreed with my comments. apparently she was a 400 metre olympic medallist in the 1960s. she sided with the 'athlete' (me) over the 'corpulent fat cunt' (bike raper).

here ends the narrative.

Wicked, I love it when one people drop shit like that into converstation. There's this old dude I know in Canary Wharf that supported Hendrix and The Who back in the day. Legend.

Shame about the dick who chipped your paint.

the next time you want violently rape someone's bicycle with your briefcase of death just because you're in a hurry then give me call,

I would be so proud if I could ever express my anger in such a coherently vile way! hats off to you, sir.

i was sooo angry,

it was my condor.

i have had allot of experience talking calmly with some one who is screaming with rage, and cannot understand logic, its not worth it, they don't change. most people are fucktards, and will be untill they die.

agh the litter droppers suck eh. there was this one time (at band camp) when i was living in my van in newquay for the summer and i was at the beach just standing in the rain watching the sea as you do cos its lush. there was a groupo of six guys lying on the beach all trying hard to make the most of their holiday despite the shit weather and the tide was almost at theri feet. inthe end the decided to pack it in and leave. so i watched them throw a can at a seagull, and kick al their rubbish about as they got their shit together and one lad walked past me to the toilet. on his way back i said to him "do you wanna pick up all your shit off MY beach and put it in the bin before you leave eh??" he looked at me and walked back to his mates and told them. he pointed at me. they all looked at me. i nodded in a go one then kind of way, (thinking i was going to get battered), and they bloody well started picking it all up. i was so chuffed i even shouted "dont forget that can you threw at the gull..." ha ha, i didnt look like a tourist and i didnt get beat up by rowdy newquay boys and hopefully they'll not do it again. yea, im watchin, waitin. dont underestimate the skinny guys.

Elicited.

Haven't heard THE THE for ages!
Matt Johnson was really ahead of his time - "Islam is Rising" and all that.

(Sorry for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about)

dont underestimate the skinny guys.

Hell yeah, don't underestimate us! :)

Good work, whatfiends.

Yeah, Uncertain Smile came up on my iPod on the way in to work yesterday, lodging itself into my internal jukebox for the day. So since then I've been revisiting Soul Mining and Infected. Great stuff - and (largely) great memories... ;-)

So I thought I'd rant a bit too.
Today I went for my first decent sized ride since the shoulder injury I gave myself, from Oxford to Reading. It was a glorious ride, except for the beginning and the end.
At the beginning I was adjusting my straps on my bag, so was riding no handed, and so had moved to the centre of the road. Then a taxi driver semi-overtakes me and has to cut back in, because there is a bus coming the other way. He knocks my front wheel, and I just about gain control of the bike again, a little miffed by the idiocy. So I swear at him, and he drives off at speed, straight through a red light. Eventually (not that long away) he gets stuck behind a bus, and I rap on the window, demanding an explanation. Fscking cunt.

Anyway thats a side story:
The real story happened when I got to reading. I caught the train back, and having never taken a train with a bike before, just put it into a carriage, and then relaxed. Ten minutes later, after making a few friends in the carriage, from having to move the bike, this total [gender unknown- seriously no idea what] bully twat of a conduct comes up to me and says that I should of put it in the bike store (true but I had no idea). I reply calmly and nicely that I didn't know and there weren't any station staff around to ask, and he/she goes balistic and is right up in my face all threatening like, saying "there were plenty, etc, etc." and getting really irate. I restated that i didn't see any and he/she just got madder and threatened to chuck me off the train at Didcot.
Eventually, the bully left me alone. I was a bit dumbstruck by the sheer rudeness of this woman, and a nice guy comes up to me and gives me his card, and says ' make a formal complaint'.
I mean why do people not like cyclists?
And I'm quite a nice, easy-going guy. It was unbelievable.
I'm still in a bit of a shock, does anyone have any idea how to make a specific formal complaint to First Great Western.
