i WAS settled on the 19.16 train to Marylebone from Warwick parkway in a table seat so 4 seats in in one and another young girl opposite me .. all peacefully, get to Banbury
someone appears muddysweaty and red and tries to fit enormous roll type bag in luggage rack , mud is cacked on it . it doesn't fit . he says "oh that's not gonna work then " and drops it down onto the table . it's enormous i can't see over it
i'm looking at mud !! this can't be right so i say so "you can't leave that there ... it's muddy won't it fit out the back ? he shrugs .. surely the etiquette is ... stand out the back with your muddy bag

Are you e e cummings, OP?

GabsAlot · 29/04/2018 21:21

just dont lok back at him-he shouldnt have put it on the table but you shouldnt really be taking pics either

ADishBestEatenCold · 29/04/2018 21:22

"That bag is barely grubby. Definitely not caked or cacked in mud. Which makes me think you are getting a bit overexcited about a minor inconvenience."

Agree with this ^.

Also (assuming it's his hand on top of it, not yours) it looks as if it is directly and closely in front of him. Not at all close to you (assuming you're the one taking the picture).

You say you were sitting "all peacefully", but you don't sound peaceful, nor particularly fair.

Thequeenisdeadboys · 29/04/2018 21:23

Op don't strop. Hopefully the journey is over now.

"You're not as nice as I thought"

You know this is the 'next of vipers' one? The 'sparkly one with the banners' is -> over there

greenlanes · 29/04/2018 21:29

Dear nanny

no we are not very nice. We are a bunch of vipers ;)

In all seriousness, we like a laugh on here; we like politics; we care about issues; we fight like cat and dog on step-parents board.

But you posted in AIBU. You were told yes. Get over it, grow a pair, move on! Me I luffs AIBU - best part of the site but it is feisty!

Post again on a different topic and you might get a different response.

Nice touch about the my little pony. But a pedestrian effort all in.

MN has had an influx of new posters recently, after the interview with Justine about trans-activists pressuring MN. Coincidentally, many of those new posters have started threads which have appeared to be an attempt to provoke people into saying things which could be used as 'evidence' that MN is transphobic.

MrMeSeeks · 29/04/2018 21:36

you're not as nice as i thought
You’ve just tookthe mic out of someone appearance and their belongings, but we’re the mean ones?
Please don't waste police time for someone staring at you, they don’t have enough time to investigate actual crimes!

Giraffey1 · 29/04/2018 21:44

Did you really think that was funny, OP? You need to get out more. Or have a glass of wine. Cheers!

Juells · 29/04/2018 21:48

There's usually a space on the floor between back-to-back seats, he could have put it there. Why is everyone being so mean to the OP? It's just something to do on a boring train journey.

BackforGood · 29/04/2018 21:49

Was going to say same as MrMeSeeks.

You are being ridiculously OTT - about the bag, about the police (), about someone who happens to be opposite you, looking at you (though not peering into your wallet or taking photos of your belongings and posting on the internet.....).

Witchend · 29/04/2018 21:52

I'm trying to imagine the conversation.

Hello, British Transport Police

Hi, I want to report a man on the train.

What's the problem?

He put a muddy bag on the table.

...? A muddy bag.

Yes. And then his girlfriend came too and they're both sweaty so I decided to move.

So what's the problem?

He then stared at me.

So let's get this straight. You want to report someone for sitting next to you on the train, having a muddy bag and a girlfriend who's sweaty and looking at you...

ilovesooty · 29/04/2018 21:56

You joined the site just to post about this?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 29/04/2018 21:57

Are you e e cummings, OP?

Certainly not Alan Bennett

Aridane · 29/04/2018 21:58

To be fair, mumsnetters have recommended calling 101 for much less

BlancheM · 29/04/2018 22:35

Chuffing ell

Tink2007 · 29/04/2018 22:39

Maybe he has noticed you taking pictures of his bag and wondering what on earth you are doing? Maybe your behaviour has freaked him out?

ObiJuanKenobi · 29/04/2018 22:47

sheldonesque · 29/04/2018 23:00

I saw my arse once on the train when someone started throwing handfuls of his sick around the carriage.

There are worse things than a slightly grubby bag. I think the BTP will be of the same opinion.
