Opening window on train

Derek W said:
How can you downplay the incident so much? It was worse than terrorism, your basic human rights were laid bare, exposed to these evil doers. Too hot on a train in Britain! You're a far better man than I would have been. The sheer courage, audacity even, go simply stand up and close the window because you might have become slightly chilly. Sir, I applaud you! Your patriotism to Britain will not go un noticed, and I for one will contact the queen to ensure you're mentioned in the new years honours list for services to British transport!

:D Sarcasm meter just exploded.
 
anything I don't mind said:
I was about to move but I had picked the seat specifically and i was annoyed because of the principle of it. Just inconsiderate and self centred. It wasn't a massive incident, she left the window closed in the end.

How do you pick a seat specifically on a train? You're both equally as stupid
 
Can we get his name changed back to Groen? It even made more sense seeing as every thread created by him, most of us "groan" before opening.
 
I would let them have it open for 10mins to cool off. Then ask politely if they wouldn't mind closing the window now they've cooled off. If she then won't close it I'd move to another seat/carriage.

At the end of the day its Public transport...
 
The best is when they open a window on a bus or train and then sit directly underneath it... :mad:

But... You could have just moved to the opposite side to avoid the breeze.
 
I hate how they whack up the heating on trains in the winter so I do sympathise with her. When you're all dressed up warm then you get on a stuffy train set to 50 degrees it's nice to have a bit of fresh air.
 
So you proceeded to enter a ****ing contest with a women about a window when one of you could have moved so as to not have to deal with eachother?

Seal all the doors and windows, light a match. when that burns out, light another. Keep going and eventually something will run out... not the matches.
 
Jesus.

Let her have the window open if she wants it open. Its pretty warm out at the moment anyway especially for December. You sound incredibly rude to have gone over to her and just shut the window that she opened (more than once I might add).

I think you are the one who is at fault here not the woman. You sound like the selfish self centred one who always needs everything to be the way you want it to be.
 
shoulda just clubbed her head against the window a few times, then roared at the top of your voice - 'MY ******* WINDOW, MY ******* RULES'

show em who's the alpha male in the carriage!!

then into work and brag about your manliness
 
Reminds me of one of my Dads old National Service stories.

He, with others, was stuck for hours roasting in a troop transport on an airstrip in some god forsaken tropical place.

He became (briefly) a bit of a hero for prising a porthole out of the side of the aircraft to allow some air in.

(Think a dinner plate sized piece of perspex retained by a big rubber gasket, like and old style car windscreen back when they still did things sensibly)

Unfortunately his heroism was short lived.

Once the plane took off he and his fellow passengers now had to deal with a 300MPH draft and he wasn't quite so popular any more.

(What actually happened to him afterwards I do not know, he never told me that bit!) :p

Why do that when you can brag to the world (internet) about telling her off for being hot?

well technically I don't think he did tell her off for being too hot - did he not just go close the window like a true Alpha Male and then sit back down?! I mean that is some super Alpha male **** that needs bragging about. hell he should take the day off work, go to his local cocktail bar and regale the clientele about how he put this stupid inconsiderate woman in her place :p

Tbh, it annoys me when people do that on the bus on a cold day.
It's just dumb because they open the window right above them and the only people who get the breeze are the ones sitting further back.

Still, lolgroen anyway :p

Same, happens quite regularly. A cold Bus full of people heading into oxford someone opens a window on the top floor (where I normally sit) and you and everyone else just a blast of cold air in the face for the next 20-30mins. A coat will do nothing and I rather not wear a Balaclava in the current social climate.

He probably found out his head was just about the right size to plug up the hole.
 
Talks about being inconsiderate and self centered, then proceeds to be inconsiderate and self centered.

Master troll status achieved OP, bravo.
