Assigned seats
I haven’t posted in a while, but I will below share a rough premise, and hopefully some potential laughter. Please help me out.
People never sit in their assigned seats on trains.
You get on board and there’s already someone sitting there.
“Excuse me, you’re in my seat.”
“Yeah, we’d really like to sit together. But my seat is over there.”
As if they’ve done me a favor and rebooked me.
And when I get to that seat, someone else is sitting there, sending me to another seat.
Ten minutes later, somehow I’m driving the train.
Last time, a man said:
“I’d really like to sit next to my wife.”
I said:
“So would I. Move.”
People make a lot of mistakes when booking train tickets.
Like last time, I saw a mother and her child had been given seats one behind the other.
And I thought:
“God, what a terrible booking.”
Because when you travel with children, it’s really important to book them in a separate carriage.
