Woman on train!

[paulhollywoodshairgel]

On our way home from a day out. 2 hour train journey. Woman next to us spent the entire 2 hours talking loudly on speaker phone. 2 HOURS!!! Then she takes her trainers off and puts her feet across the aisle resting her feet on my husband's seat. Am I unreasonable for being pissed off?? Get some ear pods or just speak on the phone like a normal person!!?? Why are people so rude!!? I was about to ask her to move her feet when the train conductor asked her too as she was blocking the aisle. 10 mins later feet back up!!! Raging 😡

Hahahaha this is brilliant!! Top idea

If you want to make a phonecall on a train go to the vestibule area. Otherwise make it brief. Show some consideration.

Can someone explain the feet thing because I don't understand it. How can you put your feet on a person's seat if they are in it?

I loathe loud phone convos or video watching. I always sit in the quiet carriage so then I can just say 'excuse me, this is the quiet carriage' which always results in eye rolling but they usually pipe down.

I HATE people talking on a speaker in public transport.
Are good manners missing these days?

If a journey is longer than 10/15min I would join the conversation

All the people asking why you or your husband didn’t say something well it’s a very british thing to seethe in silence.
Have a read of Very British Problems, really funny.

Talking on speakerphone and playing music/videos without earphones seems to be more and more common where I live. Vaping in indoor public spaces too. It's infurating and so bloody disrespectful. Shoes off is just disgusting...

Tell her.
We have to stop being so polite. The number of people who jyst takes the mick is well on the rise.

Why did your DH not tell her to move her feet?

I would have offered her some headphones, cf

Hi all. I didn't say anything because the train was rammed and if she'd kicked off we'd have had nowhere to go! If I could've moved we would have. I've attached a helpful diagram of how she had her feet up! She didn't have freakishly long legs, that's just my terrible artistry 😂😂

Really on a train with CCTV and an emergency line? If someone's threatening you on a train pull that cord/.

She was speaking a different language otherwise I would have!

Did you not say anything? Just decided to be angry instead?

Never heard of anyone having to give out their PIN number for a transaction!

I once had someone like this near me on speakerphone and joined in the conversation...........they quickly ended the call. I was feeling brave as I was getting off at the next stop which was only a few minutes away!!!

If she is resting her feet on your husbands seat, and he didn’t say anything, in mumsets world he must be having an affair with her. LTB

Bloody hell I would have told her to get her feet off my seat

Pass ag- love it 😂.

‘Could you take your feet off my seat please?’

How is that difficult? He’s every right to his space and should assert himself.

I am not confrontational but I absolutely would have asked her to take her feet off my seat. Bloody cheek!

Yes, why not say anything, fume about it and post on here? If no one says anything she will just continue - you shouldn't need to say anything but sometimes you have to.

As I said. Train was rammed and had 2 knackered kids with me. If she'd kicked off there was nowhere for either of us to go!

Kicked off in what way?

Was your husband worried she would physically assault him if he politely asked her to move her feet?

shame your DH didn’t have anything he could have rested on her feet. Times a handbag comes in handy! Failing that I’m surprised he did just push them off or you did keep moving in and out of your seat.

She sounds absolutely insufferable.

You can't win. You really should have spoken to her but if you had, it would have ended badly.
