On the train this morning, boarding in Oshawa, I initially arrived first to the quad I was in and was joined shortly afterwards by a woman armed with three purses, two newspapers and a cup of coffee.
She used the seat beside her and the seat beside me as her coffee tables. It was utterly annoying to have her toss her fliers and crap next to me. As we left Whitby, she used the pile of papers she had thrown on the seat next to me as her footstool, putting both of her booted feet up on the seat.
At Ajax, she took her feet down and left her mess of newspapers and two of her purses next to me and was using the seat opposite of me as a place to rest her phone, iPod and cup. People who were boarding at Ajax gave me the stink eye. So finally, after the fourth or fifth person scoping for a seat rolled eyes at me, I said loudly, "This is not my mess. Feel free to ask for this stuff to be moved." The lady across from me couldn't hear me anyway since she had her music cranked. This man taps her and asks her to move her shit.
When we arrived at Union, I reminded her to pick up her empty coffee cup that she had tossed on the floor.
Some people really need to ride VIA.
Some people really shouldn't be riding any form of public transportation if they can't control their crap and deal with their garbage.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Were they raised in a barn? I have seen animals with more respect for their surroundings than some people on the train.
Nothing worse than getting the stink eye for someone else's mess. I'm a rather large dude and once had the misfortune to grab one the last seats available in a quad with someone who had a bad case of B.O. Of course everyone around was looking at me.
ReplyDeleteJames, that sucks!
