    Characters on your train

    For months this bloke has been doing the same train journey as me in the morning. He always waits for the train in the platform toilets, alights in the second carriage from the front, walks through to the front carriage to sit down (despite there always being plenty of seats in all carriages), and eats an orange.

    Today the ticket inspector nabbed him because he didn't have a ticket.

    Does anyone else have curious regular characters on their train journey?

    Why don't you ask her out?

      I always wait in the toilet, it's the warmest location on the station, particularly when the seat has recently been warmed by somebody else.

      I pass through the whole train before I take up my reserved seat in the front carriage. This is to ensure that, should the train be running in reverse configuration, I won't have to make an unnecessary journey to the rear.

      I find nothing odd in that whatsoever.

        I do wish you wouldn't do this.

        It's one of the most unhygienic of all your habbits.

          Come on Malc, be inventive. Tell a cop there's a sex pest waiting in the toilet for an unsuspecting child or something. That'll soon stop Gimpy.

            You mean he has more unhygienic habits?

            Tell us more.

              Genius.

              The bloke I see every day differs from you in that he stands by the toilet sinks reading his paper - you can see him through the frosted window - despite there being a warm waiting room and a very warm cafe that always has seats available. And we don't have reserved seats on our trains.

                  On every train I have ever travelled on regularly:
                  The regular G*t who puts his briefcase/coat on the inside seat next to him and pretends to be asleep/engrossed in his paper and tries very hard not to meet the eye of passengers getting on looking for a seat in the hope that they will go somewhere else and he won't have any one sitting next to him.
