Captain America Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Me and a work collegue got on a train from Edinburgh going to Aberdeen that left at like 16:21ish we figured it was our train which was due at Haymarket at 16:25. When the Nazi ticket bitch came round she told us we'd have to get off at the next station and wait for the next train. It was viscious wind and snow I may add and we had to stand at this piddly wee station for like 5 minutes for the next train. Who cares?? Both trains were going the same way and there was a tonne of seats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I got from Derby to Stonehaven for free once by being sly and what not:)It wasn't really free my wallet had been stolen, so it was really just with out tickets rather than actually free.That's OK when Stoney has no barriers...they may manage to get into the swing of things with that in 10 years time or so...

Soda Jerk Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's a shame the general public just can't be trusted to behave. I was woken up early on saturday morning on two occasions by people being loud in the street. Not even being aggressive. Just speaking to each other as if they were stood on opposite sides of a golf course. I just wouldn't really have the self absorbed audacity to be cuntishly loud at such a time.

Monster Zero Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The woman who stays over the back fence from me has a mate who has now moved 2 doors down from her so they just stand in the back garden and shout across the garden next door all the time. It's just utter pish they are on about as well. One of you go down the street you lazy boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphas Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Fucking stag parties on trains. My three hour journey from Edinburgh to Aberdeen last night was a fucking nightmare due to a bunch of pissed arseholes fucking shouting to each other all the way up the road (they'd been in Newcastle and were well oiled by the time they rolled into Edinburgh). As well as annoying everybody with their slurred yelling and swearing, they were sprawled across the aisles, harassing every girl that walked past. Parents were actually afraid to let their kids go past them to go to the toilet. Thankfully at Arbroath the train emptied a bit and I was able to go and sit in a different carriage and get away from them.If it was anyone on here, I hate you and I want you to die.A couple of years ago I was on the train coming back up from Edinburgh. I had hoped to god for a quiet journey as I had a stinker of a hangover but managed to get lumbered in the same carriage as a stagger who spent the whole time singing the horn section to Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. All the way to Dundee going DA DA DA DA DA DAAA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAA! They being a right bunch of pricks as well but got a way with it as there were so many of them and nobody (conductors included) wanted to get any bother. Thought I was getting some peace after they got off then a little girl smacked me in the face with a toy umbrella. Thanks for that.I was on my way back from Edinburgh yesterday as well but managed to get a lift to Perth first to avoid problems on the line. May have scored there by the sounds of it.

Scorge Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I hate those c**ts on trains who store their suitcase in the footwell in front of the seat beside them then look p**sed off when you ask to sit there. I realise it''s a hassle to move it now but perhaps you should have stored it in the proper place in the first instance f**knuggetThis, doubly so on the busy commuter services and they still glare at you like a serial rapist, selfish bastards the lot of them.No barriers at Stoney should be in the Ace-ic thread (sentence stops here for fear of legal recriminations).

Monster Zero Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Women who can't seem to walk in a straight line whilst talking on their mobile phone. 2 days in a row I've been stuck behind some bint zig-zagging along the pavement because moving her mouth at the same time as her feet is obviously a bit complex.

Especially people with prams who just charge at you even if they are walking side by side with their pal with a pram without giving up an inch. And if they bash you in the shin, glare of death as if you've just thrown her baby into the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They piss me off. I understand if they have a trolley they are stuck but if they are carrying a basket then they should just walk up or down the buggers!

Alan Cynic Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 ^^^ This.My mum saw it a few weeks ago and turned round and said "Pallas, I used to see them years ago in Aberdeen"So they must be ancient.They are even older than me, ergo deserve culling!

Soda Jerk Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 If some sort of machinery is going to do the walking for me, then I'm going to take what I can get. Otherwise, the roads would be full of people pushing their cars to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escalators move slower than I can walk and they don't save me much in the way of physical effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
