To be pissed off with wine-spilling women on train

[ifigoup]

AIBU to be really fucked off with the women sitting next to me on the train? They first annoyed me by one of them badmouthing her sister who's just had a baby. Then they got out nail polish and started doing their nails at the table, thereby stinking out the whole carriage. Who does that???

THEN, and this is what I am really hacked off about: they got out a bottle of prosecco, and then the one sitting next to me spilled a whole glass of it all over my lap, arm and seat. They did apologise and go to the loo for tissues, and offer me some of their sweets (but not their prosecco!). AIBU to remain annoyed nonetheless, given that I now have to sit here for another two hours in soaking wet jeans, stinking of alcohol, and looking as though I've pissed myself? (I hoped I didn't, but the stares of everyone else in the carriage as I walked down to the loo to try to dry myself off a bit) made clear that I definitely do.

AIBU to also be a bit annoyed with DH for now chatting and joking with them? I have put on my headphones and am pretending to listen to a podcast but am actually composing this in a major huff.

I'd be escorted off the train for cracking her skull open with the fucking prosecco bottle by now ( light hearted )

Is your sister with you? Or were they slagging her off because they know her and didn't realise they were sat next to you, her sister?

Anyway, I'd be bloody pissed off too!

to be honest - the badmouthing is none of your business and the nails isn't a terrible crime either...

but the prosecco was bad even though they apologised. it was an accident though!

Sounds like a friend of mine. Did they have a picnic too? You weren't heading to Bristol by any chance?

Lj - I thought the sister related to someone related to the women and nothing to do with OP.

I get that you're annoyed but accidents do happen & they did as much as they could to make it up to you.

Slagging off someone because they've just had a baby (if that's what the slagging was about) is unreasonable though.

I don't know OP, it could be worse. I sat on a train last week being tortured by two people having the dullest conversation about mobile phone tariffs.... for an hour!! I nearly jabbed a pen in my ear just to stop the sound of them.

(I'd be very pissed off about the prosecco though - and the nails, the smell of nail varnish is a confined place makes me want to throw up)

Well the sister thing isn't your business, the nail varnish is very rude , and the spilling is bloody frustrating. Sounds like two idiots.

Oops yes I misread the sister bit!

I think the nails thing is unreasonable, it wouldn't bother me but I know some people can react really badly to it. I can't paint my nails in the same room as Dh as it gives him a horrible headache.

What a waste of Wine! The silly bitch.

I know accidents happen and I have now slightly calmed down. But the fact is that they get to carry on having their jolly chat and fizz, and I (merely an innocent victim; yes, I am being tongue-in-cheek) STILL have to wear horrible wet jeans (the hand dryer in the loos is completely ineffectual) and look like the humorless unreasonable one for not magically becoming BFFs with them.

if they'd offered you some prosecco would that have helped to calm you down?!

One has just said to the other, "Wow, this went down quickly... We should have brought TWO bottles".

The spilling was an accident though, I think I would feel more annoyed at the other things. They did try to help with the spillage, at least. I once picked up my bag too fast on a train and it wrecked the tights of the woman sitting opposite. She was, understandably, furious. I kind of just scuttled off. Ashamed.

Cheezy - in your case you could've offered the woman some money for a new pair of tights as well as an apology. here the trousers etc can be rinsed or washed but poor OP is wet and embarrassed.

I'd probably be seething for a while OP - make your DP go to the snack/drinks area and buy you a G&T/glass of wine to make up for it. and chocolate or if need be.

I should have, you are right. I did say sorry, then rushed off the train. Sorry, tights woman.
Sorry OP.

I was on a flight once and the air host came round with the trolley. I got a tea and the woman next to me got a hot chocolate. Instead of JUST FUCKING WAITING A FEW SECONDS while the air host finished passing my ds his bag of sweets, she was straight in with the lid off tearing open those little packs of sugar. Tiny little gap between his arm and the top of her cup.

Whoops, scalding hot chocolate all over the both of us. I had dark jeans on but she was all dollied up in a white suit going to meet her boyfriend so it looked far worse than if she'd pissed herself. Stupid cow.

Well done for not throttling anybody, OP.

notgrumpy OWWW

I was in Greggs this year was handed a tea they'd made with the lid not on properly (they put the lid on for you) as she handed it to me it spilled over my hand and scalded it. I asked if I could use the bathroom there to run cold water on it but no... I was seriously angry and not one word of apology.

Your child knocked a woman's hot chocolate all over her and it's not only her fault but she's a stupid cow?

No, Balloon, the stupid cow knocked her own hot chocolate all over herself and me, while the air host was reaching across both of us to pass DS his sweets. DS escaped injury, he was in the window seat.

To this day I don't know if I was infuriated more by her impatience or her need to put additional sugar in hot chocolate. Her fancy suit was fucking ruined though .

Super that's shocking. They could at least have let you put it under the tap.

not I know. It's next to a station with toilets but by the time I'd got downstairs paid money etc.... I needed water on my wound now and she did not put The lid on properly!
