Phone Zombies

[Terminal_Boy]

Probably tourists using Google maps to navigate their way around London. Good job keeping up the impression the rest of us get that London is full of self-important ***** though

Nah, most of the offenders live here.

Tourists will be taking selfies or looking at maps. Local Phone Zombies will be on Twitter, FB or watching last night's episode of Eastenders or The Only Way Is Donkey Scat Midget Porn.

I think you'll find they're called walkways, not chill-out-and-watch-the-latest-episode-of-game-of-thrones ways.

Again, if it's elderly people, tourists, people who are genuinely lost, then fine, I walk around or find another way, and if people are clearly lost I'll even stop to offer help, but those idiots who are very clearly commuting in their work clobber who find it acceptable to walk at 25% of the people around them so they hold everyone up? Have a shoulder you selfish, inconsiderate pricks.

It's not wrong though, is it? I am a very patient, reasonable person and will always go out of my way to help others or not make a nuisance of myself, and I expect the same from other people. It's the same in supermarkets. If you need to leave your trolley for whatever reason, you put it to one side, don't you? You don't leave it in the middle of the bloody aisle and expect everyone else to change their life trajectory to accommodate your selfishness / stupidity. Driving too. Get out the middle or overtaking lane, there's a lane on the left completely empty, the law stipulates that you have to use it, so what the **** are you doing in the german repmobile lane?


Basically, what I'm trying to say is this:

If everyone else could just be a little bit more like me, we could have peaceful commutes and liver happily ever after. As said, I'm not an unreasonable man.

Lol. No, you're not wrong. As I said earlier, one person causing an obstruction inconveniences more than just one person. GTFO of the way and everyone is happy!

Have a shoulder you selfish, inconsiderate pricks.

So you condone physically assaulting anyone who dares inconvenience you by a matter of seconds?

A shoulder bump is "physical assault"? Seriously?


Hahaha, jog on.

I would say intentionally barging into somebody with enough force to remove them from your path could be classed as physical assault.

I would say you know not of which you speak. Come commute in London for a few weeks and then re-evaluate your "physical assault" claim.

Making intentional, offensive contact with another person is as assault. Also I grew up in Lewisham and traveled in and out of central London for years and I never felt the need to assault anyone.

So be it then, I'm a rogue physical assaulter of the London Underground.

Someone tried to do this to me at a tube station the other day, He may as well have walked into a wall because I didn't move at all from the attempted shoulder barge and he just bounced off of me said something in another language and carried on walking

That was you? Kurwa

Whilst I can understand the frustration (I went to London once, it was horrible) I feel that a lot of these gripes can be solved with the use of two magic words, words that seem to be forgotten by most people today: "Excuse me".

People in general seem too timid these days to open their mouths and use these magic words, instead opting to let others inconvenience them, or try to squeeze past in some awkward way.

Most of the time they have headphones in, rendering politeness unusable

Diddums what line do you use normally, if its one I use I am going to ensure I have my earphones in, my phone in one hand and my kindle in the other just on the off chance I can get in your way

 

[CosmicClown]

Even more infuriating are the ones who wear HEADPHONES blaring music and walk with their head down texting. I usually just barge into them as they should be paying attention, its a short sharp shock to them so maybe they realize 'Hey maybe I should pay attention to where I'm going'...

This is London, man! Actually talking to someone is considered far more rude than shoulder barging them.

Genuine

Genuine cockney hardman, Danny Dyer eat your heart out

Chill

I always feel like doing the same (shoulder barging them) but then I remember people carry knives these days so no thanks.
