DH just rang he is not a happy bunny.

Train was pulling in at Clapham - slightly delayed so had to pull out straight away - DH ran for it, jumped as the doors were closing (not an uncommon thing to do and he didn't actually get stuck in the doors or cause them to reopen). Accidentally ran into the guard and knocked him flying. The guard then physically pushed him off the train!

He has just had to explain himself to the station supervisor which has caused him to miss another connection. The supervisor saw everything, it clearly wasn't intended maliciously! The supervisor told him he 'shouldn't have run for the train'. Seriously? In Clapham? At rush hour? Of course people run for trains!

Actually the more I rant the funnier it sounds. DH is furious....!

Sorry I laughed too.
What a jobsworth, dont run I suppose as he works at the station he doesnt have to run to get the train.
Hve a drink ready for when DH gets in.

And try to give him 10 mins cooling off before you laugh about it.

sorry - the more I read of it the funnier it sounds too

ooops - hopefully in the future he'll be able to look back and laugh..........

oh dear, dp is due to get train at 7.30 and he'll be running for it...

If he ran into the guard he could have ran into an elderly or pregnant woman and knocked them flying instead. Sounds like a selfish bloke making "poor me" excuses to me. I've ran for trains but never knocked anyone over doing so.

DH is a big guy - it was obvious he didn't run on and nut the poor guard, but I'll bet he knocked him right over.

I think DH is more angry because of the humiliation of being chucked off the train in front of people - you know like when you run for a bus and it drives off...

Christ I better not show him this...

2rebecca makes a good point, but accidents do happen. Perhaps he will run a little more carefully in the future.

flootshoot · 11/06/2010 18:53

2rebecca - it was an accident! Calling him selfish is a bit much, surely?

We've all run into people when in a hurry.
