To dob these men into their work?

[Stickywhitelovepiss]

Not a pearl clutcher in general, but am in two minds on this one...

Yesterday on the (very crammed) train home there were a group of about a dozen blokes essentially effing and blinding and cunting at top volume all the way home, just generally being very vocally laddish and objectionable. Including having a great old joke at the "jumper" who had caused the problems the line that evening.

My little cousin was with me, but I still chickened out in contronting them and as per usual did the very British thing of seething impotently instead.

They were all in their company polo shirts.

Part of me really wants to contact their company and let them know about it. Part of me thinks I'm sounding like a grumpy old women before my time.

Looking to Mumsnetters to give my head a wobble either way on this!

they do need a reminder that when they are in company uniform they represent the company.

I agree with this - YANBU report please them.

Was this SW by any chance?

No I'd probably not tell the company but if anyone asked whether X company was good I'd say their employees are less than kind.

I would, but I'm a grumpy old cow. I once reported someone to their company for parking like a total bellend and going to sleep in his van (it wasn't lunchtime and he was causing an obstruction)

Do it. Men like these twats do it because they know they can get away with it. Their behaviour whilst in uniform reflects on their employer. Why should other people play nice when they behave atrociously?

I think so many things we all do every day would be so much better if more people were still concerned about the social reaction of bad behaviour. So many people seem to believe they can act in any way they like and it won't come back and negatively impact on them. It would be so much more pleasant to drive, eat out, walk the dog, go to the cinema and share an office if people just acted like they were part of a society and we all needed to get along and live together instead of thinking I will act however I like and it's tough if it makes your life unpleasant.

Also why on earth are people defending the right of these man boys to swear like gobshites but some how can't see that equally the op is allowed to respond how she feels fit?

There is a difference between dangerous driving and having a conversation that gets a bored whinyarse reaching for the smelling salts and rushing off to tell tales. You are at absolutely no risk of death or injury from overhearing someone else's sweary conversation.

I would report them. To those saying they may lose their jobs/livelihoods, they made a conscious choice to be abusive whilst wearing their company uniform. That hardly makes them the sharpest tools in the box, does it? I would phrase my report that it doesn't show the business in a good light and anyone in that carriage would feel similarly.

As far as driving goes, when you drive a vehicle with a logo, you represent the company. Again, I have reported dangerous driving incidents. If we all turn a blind eye, nothing changes. By reporting it, perhaps things may improve.

@Corna she can respond however she wants. She's asked for peoples opinions.

@cuppycups - take a step back and relax.

People like me? Who happen to think that habitually contacting companies to complain about pulling out in front of them at a round about, is a bit odd and little oppressive?

Takes all sorts. Agree to disagree

Given one may not use that company in future when you would have done without witnessing this boorish behaviour, then every boss should want to know.

I rang a school today to suggest they remind their students how to cross the road. Same child stepped out in front of me twice without looking. Luckily for her it was me driving then and there and not the driver three cars behind me.

Report either directly or if they use social media via that route.

Sunshine I've done that too after seeing a child narrowly avoiding being hit by a car.

I used to work in a small business before career change, and we incidentally got a complaint from someone complaining about a few of our lads. We pretended we gave a shit on the phone then had a right laugh about it afterwards. Don't be that person.

I can't understand how anyone wouldn't be bothered about groups of men intimidating others people.

People should behave in a respectful manner on public transport. Effing and blinding is not behaving in a respectful manner.
I'd report.

they've got every right to swear if they want to.
No one has the “right” to gratuitously offend other people in a public place. I imagine it could constitute an offence under public order legislation.

I can't believe the number of people on here defending these men.
Using offensive and intimidating language and having a good old laugh about someone jumping Infront of a train is disgusting.
If this was my employees I would want to know.

UK is going to hell in a handcart when so many people are defending a large group of men effing and cunting loudly in a confined public space. Report the anti-social dickheads OP.

Report them. Their behaviour sounds atrocious.

I don't believe what they were doing was right.

But I would ask them to stop myself. I don't see the point in involving their employer.

and yet, people on here think that their right to be offended trumps the right of others to have a laugh off the clock without getting grief at work.

Ah yes, the god given right to have a laugh about the very probable and horrific death of another human being. For god sake OP, they just want to have a laugh, and what could be funnier than someone jumping infront of a train!

If you had asked them to tone it down, they probably would have. Most people do when you point out to them that they are being offensive.
By not pointing it out, you are tacitly accepting it.
So it is a bit off to then report them to their employer, where they could possibly face disciplinary action and even the sack.
Or, you could have got up and moved
