Woman on train!

On our way home from a day out. 2 hour train journey. Woman next to us spent the entire 2 hours talking loudly on speaker phone. 2 HOURS!!! Then she takes her trainers off and puts her feet across the aisle resting her feet on my husband's seat. Am I unreasonable for being pissed off?? Get some ear pods or just speak on the phone like a normal person!!?? Why are people so rude!!? I was about to ask her to move her feet when the train conductor asked her too as she was blocking the aisle. 10 mins later feet back up!!! Raging 😡

Some people have an emotional need to get into other people's spaces. They are really annoying, the choice is either speak to them directly or ignore.

Let it go now. At least you never have to see her again.

I would have embarrassed her by loudly asking her to move her feet because they smell.

No you wouldn't do this.

You should have joined in with her conversation. And I agree with pp you or better yet your husband definitely told her her feet

Could you not just use your own voice and tell her to shut up and to move her feet?

I would like to have started to chat about their conversation, voice an opinion. After all if its public then they can't expect privacy.

The phone is annoying, the feet are a liberty. I’d have rested my hand on them…but then I do have a pass ag streak 😂

So you were going to say something but then the train conductor said something so you didn't, then she did it again but again you didn't say anything? 🤔

What's that Scottish phrase, "Oh did ye aye?"

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2024 00:19

That's where your husband needed to say "take your feet off my seat please". You're only annoying yourself by quietly fuming, these people do it because you let them.

Did your husband say anything to her?
You may have met an 'Entitled'...
