GoGo_dancer Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 For those of you who use public transport and have to carry a holdall or rucksack (or even just a large handbag), PLEASE, PLEASE remove it from your shoulder if you have to stand in the aisle!! I know there is limited space (and sometimes no space) to put your bags, but as you swing about trying to nosy at what's going on around you, some poor soul sitting behind you is getting pelted in the face with your baggage. I almost had my eye taken out this morning by a bloke carrying a massive holdall over his shoulder (the type with studs on the bottom). He was totally oblivious and while I'm sure he would have apologised if I'd spoken up, I was in a lousy mood already and didn't dare open my mouth. Sorry for the pointless rant, but it's just been one of those days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annina Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I find that the worst offenders are bus drivers,presumably going off shift. They all pile onto the 32 bus at the bus station,festooned with large rucksacks,sometimes five or six of them take up the whole of the front of the bus,just to go half a mile to Olive Grove.

dongle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 why not offer your seat up to them if they obviously are blocking the isles etc with baggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I can sympathise with you, I have been in shops where hikers have walked in with rucksacks on their back and turned round in front of you and nearly knocked not just me over but a couple of others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We men use our holdalls filled with cheap supermarket goods to get revenge for being poked in face/eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Reading this back I sound like a woman on the edge!! I normally try and smile on the bus and even chat with the old dears who insist on telling you how old they are, and I always offer my seat to someone who needs it but I was really grumpy this morning! Oh, and I try to buy coats with hoods so I don't have to mess about with brollies, so nerrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
