In my example, it was a busy train from Paddington to Penzance and she was getting off at Camborne. You can stand that long if you like!
To rub salt into the wound, the fekker was really late, too!

Good show, the competition to see which commuter has the biggest chip on his shoulder thread makes a welcome return!

Is that a pair of Apple headphones I see there too? Textbook

And a student? Dear oh dear that one's going to take some beating.

This. Wins. Ticks almost every box - shame the student isn't a bit fatter and with some smelly food on the table, would be a full house. I bet there's a rucksack in the aisle as well.

For me, this one is all about timing. If this lad is on a mid-morning near-empty train, then he can have as much space as he likes (keeping the volume down, obviously, which is almost impossible with Apple headphones). If he's on a commuter train, then much tutting would ensue - nobody would say actually anything though. Given that he appears to be "reading" the Sun, I guess he's not very bright though anyway.

I notice there are some bags on the seats diagonally behind him. Probably his too. Has he taken up the whole carriage?
You've never been on a commuter train with me have you
Must confess if he did that on an early morning London commuter train he would end up wearing his bag.

On a plane to Dubai there was quite a furore on the internal flight last leg of the journey where Indian workers were going back into Dubai. A lot of them were carrying buckets which they were cramming into the overheads. A stewardess came over to help and for her trouble a bucket of Sausage meat and it's accompanying meat juice fell out and tipped all over her front. Lots of Indians bring back products you cannot buy easily in the Emirates, Pork sausage meat being one. The captain came back and angrily opened up loads of overheads pulling out carrier bags full of sausages and shouting at passengers. Quite an odd scene.

Ha! Nice. I found Dubai airport to be very odd. It takes ages to get through. This is mainly because the passengers are largely made up of Indian workers who although very pleasant from the few I chatted to, really have no concept of queuing and doing things methodically, the ticket desk was a free for all as was the queue to get on the plane. Or you have groups of Arab ladies, about 8 or 9 of them who are the wives of one Arab who has left them to it in the airport while he goes off somewhere to relax and wait for everything to come to him as he is used to. The wives just aren't used to doing anything for themselves and so they amble about aimlessly clogging up desks and security checks, not their fault they just don't normally do anything for themselves.
I found the only way to get anywhere in such countries is to just adopt their practices, push to the front, be belligerent, put yourself first. No-one bats an eyelid, they do the same and everyone is friends again at the end.
