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?

crpuch over your son like a penguin

Genius!

ilovesooty · 12/01/2016 21:57

I think you'd have been bloody furious if you'd been the one to miss your stop.

HOW HAS KATHY BEALE BEEN RESURRECTED?

Sirzy · 12/01/2016 21:58

and what about the parent who was late to pick up a child from nursery as a result of not being able to get off?

Or the person who missed an important appointment?

Nobody should not be able to get off a train because of someone else's selfishness.

I think the can of wd40 would probably be best used on the OP's buggy.

Moln · 12/01/2016 21:58

Maybe Kathy is actually Bobby Ewing?

Leelu6 · 12/01/2016 21:58

OP, this is not a good way to spend time if you had a shit day. You must be tired. I would forget about this thread and do what I do, look at YouTube videos of dogs putting up with with inquisitive kittens or cats comforting babies. I can't stay pissed off after watching that.

ihaterain · 12/01/2016 21:59

Or the parent who might look like she is fine standing or walking to the other end of the train but in hindsight is anything but.

ihaterain - glad you clarified that, I was holding my stomach laughing.

Mr Turner would need an actual oil oil IYSWIM.

Sirzy · 12/01/2016 21:59

Kathy Beale was never dead, she faked her death with her ex as he was in trouble and went into hiding, Phil apparently had known for years.

I'm confused I thought the heavy and stiff was our Aiden not a friggin penguin
Whats going on here?

Suzietwo · 12/01/2016 22:00

Also

Did I miss the explanation S to why clumsy friend could not have placed bags in empty unfolded pushchair thus providing additional help?

Just get out the fecking way next time.

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 22:00

Leelu no it's not, I've found AIBU full of people who like to tear you down. Videos of animals are much better.

And no I wouldnt have minded missing my stop that much.

Aidan Turner was such a good vampire :-D

RonniePickering · 12/01/2016 22:00

I was hoping for a Bobby Ewing type resolution to Breaking Bad, Moln Sad

RonniePickering · 12/01/2016 22:01

Thank you, Sirzy Smile

Moln · 12/01/2016 22:02

What if the person who wa going wd40 Aidan missed their stop?

What's oil oil? Evidently I'm dense where oil is concerned

ihaterain · 12/01/2016 22:02

Or you could always youtube pushchair folding videos

goodnightdarthvader1 · 12/01/2016 22:02

That's because you've got nowhere to be, OP. Assuming you're genuine.

TheCatsMeow · 12/01/2016 22:03

goodnight I have places to be I just don't get my knickers in a twist if I'm 5 minutes late.

Moln · 12/01/2016 22:04

I didn't watch breaking bad. Didn't know Kathy Beale was in it!!

ilovesooty · 12/01/2016 22:04

So you still think it's fine to block the doors and cause others to miss their stop because you wouldn't be bothered about having to back track to your intended stop?

Unbelievable.

Suzietwo · 12/01/2016 22:04

Unlike the poor commuters rushing to pick up their kids

Do you mean people who don't agree with you? Hmm
