to complain about Londoners?

[NearlyMrsCustardsHardHat]

I have just gone from brixton to Liverpool street in tears and with a very heavy limp. I am in agony right now and not one person has stopped to ask if im ok.

Considering the time (midnight) if you saw a woman limping through the tube network in tears would you stop her and ask if she's ok? Or aibu to think someone might have helped me?

disclaimer: i met people at both ends of the journey so am home fine just pissed off at how people will just walk past someone in such obvious difficulty. Aibu to be disgusted by it?

There is that. Sorry...

I took my DCs from Leicester to Bognor by train once.
Coming home because I'm a bit of a twat I got totally confused at St Pancras station, missed our connecting train, thought I might cry...You get the picture.

Man at the station was luvverly, passed me over to a lady, who also was. Booked me onto the next train despite my ticket being non transferable.
Then I got on a super packed train, where 2 'media type' ladies ( I eavesdropped) gave up their seats for my children. (I did do the "oh no, no, we couldn't take your seats" but they were very certain we could)

Based on that I think YABU.
Hope you're feeling better now though.

Love you, Londoners! (apart from cunty ones hehe)

Oh, does this mean the OP no longer thinks I'm a cunt? Thanks OP, I'm touched.

'To complain about Londoner's being.....'

coconuts?

:o

No Dilys MNHQ has decided you're not a cunt :o

realistically, what could anyone else have done, bar pick OP up and carry her on their back? she has already said she was too stubborn to get a cab

So glad this title has been changed, it was offensive.

OP chancer are people thought you were drunk/ a junkie/ putting it on

When I was pregnant with dd I got onto a bus and didn't realise that my (paper) pass had run out the day before. The ticket inspector gave me a fine in front of everyone, even though I said it was a genuine mistake and that I was getting on the tube and would buy a new season ticket. I broke down in tears and cried all the way to work. I was really emotional that day my dp had just left me after telling me he didn't want to be tied down with a child. I remember one woman holding my hand and saying don't worry it will all be ok, without me even saying what was wrong. Not all Londoners are pigs.

YABVU. Anyone who has never lived in London is a bastard. Fact.

Then I got on a super packed train, where 2 'media type' ladies ( I eavesdropped) gave up their seats for my children.

LOVE it!
I'm a habitual evesdropper! Most entertaining...have to sometimes turn my music down if there's something especially entertaining being discussed!

another londoner who would have helped you if you'd asked. i've helped people in the past in london. also the tube staff are pretty amazing in my experience, and they probably would have helped you too.

when i've really needed help on the tube, it's been given. most people here are pretty decent. i've seen women pass out on the tube and an entire carriage of people packed in like sardines pitch in to help. sometimes, you do need to ask, as difficult as it is. i hope you're feeling better now, and please don't underestimate londoners. we're people too!

and if you need an example from today - some young adults just moved in upstairs. they came down to borrow cutlery and mentioned they were struggling to sleep because the landlord "forgot" to put in curtains. we just took them our sets of blackout blinds and a bottle of wine. life is too short not to be kind to people.

We are all bastards and London is to be avoided if you are not born and bred within the sound of Bow Bells and are unable to do the Lambeth Walk. Eff orf the lot of ya, with ya limp and your moaning. Londoners only look after their own, we can spot a forriner a mile orf and we send em packing.

think i preferred the original thread title

As a West London Cunt I never venture South of the River or more easterly than Oxford St. So I wouldn't have had the opportunity to help you out, if I could be arsed. Which I couldn't because I'm a cunt.

Ah, come on fellow Londoners. You know we're as rough as a dog's arse .

No, seriously OP: i'm sorry you had a bad night. I am London born and bred and I would certainly have halped you. Just maybe not in Brixton tube at midnight...

Loving Kbear's post and the mental image of what London would look like with no forriners in it. Like the Gobi desert, probably...

I was In London once and a bus stopped and let 2 passengers off the middle doors...

And the. Wouldn't let us (2 ) on the bus because they were full.

It was a lie

My dad trains bus drivers in the north east and honestly I was shocked at te absolute wankers they have driving London buses...

Then I realised on a bus trip that not one passenger said hello to the driver or thanked them!!! NE fecking wonder they are so miserable!

Only old people shout "Thank you driver"

It always makes me smile

Mind you, they don't have to pay the over inflated fucking prices, so they've got something to actually be thankful about

Worral please define 'old'

Around 70+

It just seems to be an OAP thing here to thank the driver

I have no idea why

OP - a large number of tube commuters (who may or may not actually be Londoners ) act very oddly when they are on the tube. Often (many exceptions of course, and depends on what time and which line you're on) they can ignore disabled/elderly/pregnant/wheelchair bound commuters and even try to "compete" with them for a seat or the last space in a carriage. At other times, some are very considerate and thoughtful. Hope you are feeling ok now.

I say thank you and I'm 36.

I live in Brixton but I'm not a cunt.

If I was on my own I wouldn't approach a crying limping person at midnight but if I was with someone I would.

I always say thank you to the bus driver, p'raps not so much on the d/deckers, but on the single deck ones, always. I am not old... deluded p'raps, but not old

YABU
