Today has been a got from start to finish (well now so here's hoping it's all over!)
First I slipped coming down the stairs to the train. Twisted my ankle, can walk but very sore.
Get seat on (relatively empty) train. Six stops later, train has filled up and a woman asks me to move so her 7 year old son can sit down. (tube, not fast train so no allocated seating)
"Sorry but I twisted my ankle and can't stand for the 50 minutes I'll be on the train"
"But he's only 7! Why should be have to stand?"
Basically I refused to budge (I'm on my feet at work so I need to rest my ankle to get through my shift, we've got a carriage full of men in suits who she hasn't approached, and there's no medical reason for child to need to sit. There's a priority seat opposite but has another young man in suit in it)
She starts swearing at me. I ignore her.
Get to work hobbling slightly.
Get sworn at by customers who bought the wrong ticket and cannot travel.
Got sworn at cos won't let people travel for free.
Get sworn at cos I don't work for insert transport company name here and cannot refund a ticket purchased from them.
Get home.
Go to do school run.
Indicate to turn left.
Family on foot approaching corner.
Family walk out in front of car.
Slam on emergency brake
Person behind me slams on emergency brake, and honks horn.
Family crossing (without checking for cars) Start swearing at me calling me the c word and saying I'm a "racist English b*h" (with toddler in arms)
Is today national swear at flutter day?
