    Baby on Board

    I am a placid man. I am easy going with a bit of attitude and rarely am I pushed into wanting to actually punch someone. Except this morning on the train I could have punched a woman wearing a "baby on board" badge on her lapel.

    She walks onto the train and pushes me with a look of entitlement on her face. Excuse me she says pushing past me and then interrupts a woman passenger who was sitting down just in front of me "excuse me she says but I am pregnant can I have that seat?". the girl gets up apologising for not having noticed (she could not have had time), gives up her seat and the "pregnant woman sits down with a self satisfied look on her face and immediately starts fiddling with her mobile.

    Had she not been wearing the badge no one would have noticed she was pregnant and what really annoyed me was that she was clearly showing off and expecting everyone to cow tow to her selfishness.
    My first though was would I sh*g her? - if she was fit then I could have excused her - I am not a fussy man but the answer was resolutely NO.
    I then thought about her attitude and wondered what sort of bloke would want to marry her.
    Next I asked myself what sort of job she would be doing...
    Then it came to me.. she had to be working in HR.

    that was the point at which I wanted to punch her.

    I had the same issue on a train. He got on board and waited for me to walk past. It occurred to me that he might work in recruitment so I beat him to death with a pool ball in a sock that I carry for these occasions.

    Apparently, under this loony government, that makes me a criminal!!!!

        Phone the Daily Mail, they'd love this one.

          Is it true that all recruitment agents are people who wanted to work in HR but didn't make the grade?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                I would rather run 100 contracts at zero margin than work in HR

                  She expected people to pull along a domesticated ungulate?

                  Or perhaps you mean kowtow?
