We wouldn't need guts if people would just keep their bloody boots off the seats!

So I have decided that I need to stiffen my spine and speak up. However,  not today.

Dude with his feet on the seat was sitting next to me and yapping to the blonde in the picture. She was sitting where the boots are now. The whole ride they yapped across the aisle. Yup, we're in the quiet zone. I shot "the look" a few times and she shut up once.

I wish I could handle confrontations better. 

And to top it off, it felt like they had the air conditioning running.

So glad today is over.

Aw, sorry you had a bad day.

Confrontation is hard. You know I know it is and I never expect anyone to do more than they feel comfortable doing. In these situations, when the train isn't too busy, you can always ask the CSA to make an announcement. All, well, almost all, the CSAs know who I am so throw the site name around if needed.

THAT'S RIGHT. TELL THEM YOU "KNOW PEOPLE".
