Twitter, or X as we now must name it, is probably not as entertaining or certainly nearly as good a supply of knowledge because it was however it’s nonetheless nicely price looking for different folks’s tweets and there was an entertaining remark from David Cowan the BBC’s Home Affairs correspondent this week.
On Thursday whereas on the practice home he tweeted: “Our @scotrail conductor is telling everyone to keep their feet off the seats – ‘As a company we have thought about this and set aside a large area for the storage of your feet. That’s the floor’. Superb.”
As I write this it has had over 30,000 views and a good variety of feedback. I’ve needed to touch upon this earlier than myself however at all times determined in opposition to as I already complain sufficient about buyers and their inconsiderate behaviour. However this quote was simply too good to disregard and offers me the excuse to say my different pet hate which is folks speaking on their telephone, typically for all the size of their journey, on FaceTime.
Only final week two folks bought on the bus and sat behind me and as an alternative of speaking to one another they instantly bought on their telephones and began speaking to any person else. There was a stereo impact of chatter behind me for a great twenty minutes.
With regards to ft on seats, the again of my bus is commonly simply full of youngsters who all really feel the necessity to put their ft up on the seats reverse. As the bus will get full some will reluctantly take their ft down whereas others will stick them out daring any person to say one thing. Very hardly ever does anyone say something in any respect however typically go for trying to sit down within the seat anyway inflicting stated ft to be eliminated on the final minute.
I don’t suppose I’ve ever heard anyone complain about loud telephone calls which is comprehensible as it might be fairly confrontational. Certainly that appears to be a far higher drawback on the bus quite than the practice, although on the practice it may really feel fairly bizarre as any person places their telephone down reverse you after which begins a FaceTime name.
Even bus stops usually are not secure from irritating behaviour as whereas people who smoke will at all times stand exterior the shelter those that vape will simply have a fast puff after which put their e-cigarettes again of their pocket.
For a very long time I genuinely didn’t realise what the sickly candy odor was on the Waverley Steps bus cease till it lastly clicked that it was associated to all of the primarily children having a fast puff.
I’m not a whole harmless myself as I’m responsible of placing my baggage on a practice seat regardless of the bulletins to make use of the overhead racks however in my defence I do put them onto my knees as quickly as seats turn out to be scarce.
