Apart from buying blackberries (who buys blackberries? Walk 200yds and at this time of year, you find bushes full of them and ready to pick for free!) he is annoying the hell out of me.
Ticket inspector comes and asks to see the tickets.
Normally passengers have them to hand - not this young lad (who happens to have the window seat). They're in his bag! Queue me having to shift everything, to let him get his bag and stand like a lemon whilst he undoes his zip, by dig out his e ticket and give it to the guard to scan.
Just to show how anal he is, he then proceeds to square the paper off and attach the smallest paper clip in the world to it, before placing his bag above.
He is now munching on Percy Pig sweets...
Bellends. I would have jabbed him in the eye about 30 minutes into the journey.
People watching on trains has to be done. I usually book the priority seats at the back of the coach now for an optimal view. The 0703 off Newcastle for Kings Cross is usually loaded with smart young business lasses too - result.
Ever noticed how many folk sit faffing on with Excel throughout their journey? It's like the world would stop if Excel didn't exist!
