Had an early finish coming back from London once - I was ten minutes early for the empty train sat patiently in the station. The entire and I mean entire carriage of seats was empty, I was the only one in there and i was sat on the inside seat of a table, trying to be polite. Of the entire carriage, a bloke comes and sits down next to me. For god only knows what reason.
Being the polite and courteous person I am, I assume he must be bored and forgotten his headphones, so offer up some conversation. I get a couple of half grunted answers and then he proceeds to put his headphones on!?
I ended up moving to the table 2 rows down and enjoyed a very pleasant and otherwise uninterrupted journey. But serious wtf was wrong with that guy!?Comment
