The rage I felt when I saw this on the T. It was a full train, no empty seats and people standing. Move your wine! I tend to go the passive aggressive route so I shot some dirty looks her way and posted this photo on Twitter and Facebook. The internet appeased me by validating my outrage. Of course I could have just asked her to move the wine so I could sit but I'm not really the confrontational type. So internet shaming for your winespreading it is.
Early birthday dinner date with Derek at the Abbey. I wanted everything on the menu. I went with the roasted cod with a potato scallion pancake in a shallot cream sauce. No regrets in that choice. I could have eaten two servings.
After dinner drinks at the Tavern. I love sitting in the window seats and people watching. I don't remember taking this picture of Derek but I like it.
We bought beer and wine at the store on the way home but didn't end up drinking it. Probably for the best as it was a school night.
I'm being good and staying in tonight making blog posts in preparation for my birthday party tomorrow, which is my actual birthday. I'm going to eat so much Chinese food, it's going to be
Big pet peeve of mine as well, afer many years I finally just learned to say excuse me and start to sit. They always just move the bag or whatever like they never realized people are standing while their bag has a seat.
ReplyDeleteIt just drives me crazy that they don't have the common sense to not do that on a busy train.
DeleteI would have said "Excuse me could you move these so I can sit down?" As long as you are polite you can get away with stuff. If she didn't, then I would have moved it myself onto the floor, then she would have reacted for sure. The problem is if you don't do it, she'll do it again. It's not acceptable behaviour is it?
ReplyDeleteI should have taken a bottle of wine and seen what her reaction would be.
