To not move on the train?

1004 replies

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 12:30

I was on a very busy packed train with my friend and DS. DS was in a sling, we had the buggy and I was feeding him. We were standing by the doors (no one offered us seats!) trying to feed a screaming baby, penned in by others standing. There was no where we could go.

People tried to push past us to get out the doors and nearly sent DS flying. I firmly asked if they could use one of the other doors and I literally couldn't go anywhere. Cue mutterings and dirty looks!

We couldn't collapse the pram there wasn't room to do and as no one had offered a seat we couldn't move anywhere! WIBU to ask them to use another door?

Or get yourself a can of WD40 and oil all of the moving parts.

How with a disability you can be so offensive?
What people with disabilities are supposed to look like?
Why you couldn't have just got off instead since it is no big deal?
Whether you didn't move into the aisle because it was crowded or your buggy was too big?P

I like a bit of heavy and stiff

SoupDragon · 12/01/2016 21:48

It's stiff because you can't ever be arsed to fold it.

Veterinari · 12/01/2016 21:48

Yes interestingly OP has only been posting for a couple of days and has posted goady posts in that time.

I also assume evil SM under another name. It's the same style.

Seriously don't you have friends/a job/a life?

Moln · 12/01/2016 21:49

I'd never even heard of Aidan Turner until Then There Were None. I came over all funny when he had no top on, dh had to cover my eyes to save me from fainting.

kali110 · 12/01/2016 21:50

LilacSpunkMonkey yes you are right.
Although soon i shall be stopping watching it, anybody watch Eastenders?lacey is such a good actress

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 21:50

Kali

I don't think I'm being offensive. I've never said there is a look of people with disabilities. Because I wanted to go home like others on the train. Aisle was clear buggy doesn't fit in it, no one stands in the aisles

Just looked up Aidan Turner, how have I missed him? Shock

littleleftie · 12/01/2016 21:50

Aiden Turner was on the train?

I luffs him.

Sallyingforth · 12/01/2016 21:51

Well there's only another 95 messages before this thread in closed.
AIBU to think the OP will not admit she WBU before then?

Sirzy · 12/01/2016 21:51

But by stopping people being able to get off you were making it harder for them to get home.

Would you have liked to have had to carry on a stop from where you wanted to be?

Moln · 12/01/2016 21:51

Maybe the OP is actually a prisoner in a prison (where I've heard one finds prisoners) and she (or he) has just got a recently smuggled in smart phone. Could explain the spare time.

ilovesooty · 12/01/2016 21:52

YouTheCat I ended up in Peterborough too. Perhaps we were on the same train.

RonniePickering · 12/01/2016 21:52

How have they brought Kathy back to Eastenders? She was dead the last time I watched it Confused

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 21:52

I wouldn't have liked it but it wouldn't be the end of the world

ihaterain "Or get yourself a can of WD40 and oil all of the moving parts."

are you talking about what the OP should do with the buggy or Aidan Turner?!

littleleftie · 12/01/2016 21:52

Sorry! Aidan

That's another post nearer.

53rdAndBird · 12/01/2016 21:53

It's very much the same style as Evil Stepmum.

In an old job I used to work with software stuff on forensic authorship identification - comparing different texts to see if they were written by the same person. Have often idly wondered what some of the more, ahem, controversial MN posters would look like with that.

(Also, anyone who appreciated Aidan Turner and hasn't yet seen Being Human, you are missing an absolute treat. Get on it.)

MaidrinRua · 12/01/2016 21:53

So, you have no problem at all summoning the confidence to tell people to haul ass to another door to alight the train and possibly miss their stop....

but

...you are to shy, fragile and delicate a wee snowflake to ask them to move down into the aisle for a moment whilst you fold the buggy?

thelouise · 12/01/2016 21:53

As thread is so close to the end, I'll be blunt; I think the OP is trolling and/or goading. New poster or name changer who's only started posting in the last few days.

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 21:53

I'm not trolling by the way. I'm having a shit day and wanted to vent about something and you lot wound me up hence why I was rude to some of you.

OP posts:
Leelu6 · 12/01/2016 21:54

Yes interestingly OP has only been posting for a couple of days and has posted goady posts in that time.

I don't this is correct, I think OP has been here awhile. Her previous AIBU was fine.

Moln · 12/01/2016 21:55

Being Human you say?

Shall look into that.

littleleftie · 12/01/2016 21:55

Ooh yes! Meow How is your stepdaughter doing?
