To have (metaphorically) wanted to punch this man!

Got to my mainline station this evening and looked at the board to see that my usual train wasn’t stopping at my station. Went over to ask the rail worker if he knew why and when the next train would be and he said to me “the 16.58 is stopping at X station.” I said “I don’t think it is because that station has been missed off on the board.” He repeats “the 16.58 is stopping at X station.” I said “No it isn’t can you tell me when the next train is please?” rail worker then gives other male rail worker a smirk and says in a singsong voice “Let’s go and look at it together shall we?” Get over the The board and he looks at it and says “oh! It’s not stopping at X!” I say “yes, I know that because I’m not a complete idiot”. And walk off.

AIBU for wanting to smack the misogynistic twat?

I hope you smirked back

This sort of thing fucks me right off most royally.

Good opportunity to say 'No shit, Sherlock' though, which can go a little way towards making up for the fuckery.

You're a master of self restraint OP. Proud of you!

Thanks Single I felt murderous!

I would have said ‘oh really you don’t say!’ Then muttered ‘fucking idiot’ as I walked away.

when IS the next train??

why do you think it was a misogynistic comment?

DH and my male work colleagues had quite a few similar incidents with rail workers, some of them are just idiots. It's not gender related.

Maybe not but it definitely had a sense of a patronising “stupid woman” comment about it.

A slow clap and a raised eyebrow would have been my response while silently wishing I could smack him in the mouth

OP get the National Rail app (from the App Store). So much easier... 😀
