Grumpy rant

[MichelleC69]

Have had very little sleep so please indulge my grumpiness and this is meant in a light-hearted way....

Traveling to London for a work meeting. Soooooo tired. Uber driver wants to chat all the way to the station and takes me the longest winded way resulting in aprrox an extra £3 fare. (Does anyone else think there should be a 'silent' option button when you request your Uber??)
.
Get on train. Woman in my seat. Swears blind it's hers until she realises she's in the wrong feckin carriage. It's not difficult FFS....

Then over-cheery woman gets on with not quite so cheery work colleague and turns round in her seat to talk loudly to him, practically in my face with her boring convo. I grit my teeth for 10 mins and move to table seat which I see is free, at which point the women opposite starts up a conversation out of nowhere. Erm... Please take note of my grumpy face and leave me alone! She's now got off, but man next to me is manspreading as he has a BIG laptop and therefore must be Very Busy And Important!

Oh yes, I am proper grumpy. Please share your awful commute stories to cheer me up!!

I thought the Uber app does have a bit you can click to say you don't like to chat?

Don't have an awful commute story, but came very close to collapsing on the landing and sobbing last night if it's any consolation? I was tired and starving and then DC was sick on me and then wouldn't settle. World's a different place today - hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!

Oooooh does it?! Must find it.

Train last week to a nice city. 34 degrees outside - def booked for wrong day. Woman assume was dgm gets on with dgs in a buggy, about 2.5 yo. He tries to hold onto the pole at the door. She prises his hand off and moves the buggy back. He leans forward to reach and squeals because he can't reach. Keep trying to grab it and squealing. I give her my best glower - not because he is squealing - though was expecting a door to shatter - but because the poor kid is only trying to hold on! She was bloody awful to that kid - bet his dm doesn't know she is the dgm from Hell.
Really rattled me tbh.

This is why I am moving to live and work alone in the middle of nowhere like a hermit.
I'm hoping never to have to see or speak to anyone ever again

@madcatladyforever that sounds like an awesome idea. I seriously think I am becoming that grumpy old bitch. Being menopausal doesn't help. I just don't like people very much any more!!

I got on the train this morning (v old train with the seats facing each other and approximately 1 inch of legroom between them) and only realised once I'd sat down and was hemmed in on all sides that the person sitting opposite me had huge weeping open sores on both of his knees.

Spent the whole journey trying desperately to keep my legs away from his but the aforementioned lack of legroom made it very difficult and very squashed!

I hear you op!! Don't want to talk but I hear you!

That's bloody gross @MrsGideon, ugh!!
