Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

Swindon town centre. Went into town today for the first time on ages. What a shit pit it is. As many empty shops as open ones and really quiet for a saturday. Wetherspoons doing stowfords press for £2.09 the only plus.

Most towns have empty shops right now, and the weather probably put people off shopping. But it is shit.

I was on the train to London after the match yesterday, and the conductor came to check my ticket, realised I had lost my railcard. Normally if you own up straight away they let you off and remind you not to forget it again.

Not this cunt. 25 quid for a single please. For a journey that only cost me 20 quid return to start with.

I was cold and hungry and pissed off, so made a grumbling comment about him being able to take one of my kidneys as well if he wanted to (because the fare was daylight robbery), and the fucker threatened to throw me off if I 'continued to be aggressive'.

I am possibly the least aggressive person in the world. What a cunt.

Or to put it another way: "public transport"

It has very few redeeming features, the only one I can think of is the rare occasion when there is a stunning bird on the same bus/train.

So how many times have you got away with that then?

At least he's not gossiping with other people about your wife.

My sky box not getting a signal due to the dish being covered in snow, I can't clear the cunting thing as I live in a block of flats.

Used to take the train Swansea->London on a regular basis, maybe forgot my card a quarter of the time? It's an honest mistake, not like I'm trying to play the system or anything.

I get that the rules are I have to buy another fare, but they seem stupid- the way it works pretty much every other country I've been to is you pay the difference. This particular conductor was also a massive cunt.

Shame, as I've normally had pretty good experiences with First Great Western up till now.

Get someone in your family to work for First Great Western. Free train.

Train conductors, as with bus drivers, seem to go one of two ways; really nice people, or complete jobsworths.

I've never understood the bus driver who sees someone running for their bus, towards them, and pulls off a second or two before they get there. Their job is to drive a bus and pick passengers up. I'm sure they have a timetable to stick to but is waiting for 10 seconds and making someones day better really that taxing?

It happened to me once, but the bus pulled away and about 10 metres later got stuck in traffic, Inbetweeners bus wanker style.

On the numerous recent occasions I have got the London to Swindon train and back again on a Saturday I have never had my ticket checked. However there are normally barriers at the end of each journey so I guess this is why.

Even better, get a car and drive.

Public transport is a last resort in my book with trains being the worse of the bunch.  Overpriced, late, crowded.  Best left for the elderly, students and dredges of society.
