Charming

On the train last night, the two people opposite me were talking about whether they’d make their connecting train from Norwich. Now, the XDA phone has it’s uses, and the mini-version of IE is one of them. So, being in a fairly mellow mood, I checked the arrival time of the current train, and when their connecting one would go.
And I let them know that they’d be OK, and would have about ten minutes between trains.
The response? Absolutely chuff all. Not a word of thanks, just a nod of the head in acknowledgement of the information.
Tossers. And then people wonder why I end up being rude to them…
Lyle, you need to remember that you’re in Norfolk now… They probably thought you had some sort of witchcraft style powers, I believe a nod of the head is the appropriate action to take when confronted by Beelzebub
Chuh. People these days. 😉
