Is it english people, finance people or both? Seriously.. I was waiting at the stamford train station when a group of people came up behind me and started their idle chatter about tax free week. They were very close to me. Ok, I know we all need to get on the train , but please remember I have personal space and I sure as nuts on a squirrel do not need your wool clad arm sporadically nudging my elbow with a bop bop bop. They were joined by their furry friend in a cabbie hat and some weird wooly vest. He regalled them with stories of working from midotwn vs working from stamford (believe me, I was so intrigued). At one point, in a very stereotypicall english way, one of the englishmen declared "Facists!" and I do believe he spit while he said it. This was in reference to tax free week and VAT taxes, and is it tax free if you buy online. The only american of the bunch grabbed from her cotton ball mind that if you order online there is no tax. Yes, sister, that's right, the internet shopping experience isn't governed by those crazy laws of commerce! It's fair fucks to everyone! Whooooohooo!! Idiot.
They stood around me. Two of them were on either side of my backpack, and if I could draw a diagram I would, maybe I will. They stood there, talking over my backpack and around my backpack and sporadically nudging me over and over and over. I was doing my usual 8 year old shuffle. You know the one, right foot in, lightly kick inside of left ankle. Right foot back in place. Left foot in , gently kick right ankle, left foot back, and repeat until train, car, beer arrives. My shuffle had a two tiered effect. 1- it kept me warm. 2- I was biffing the sex pistols with my pack every time I replaced a foot. It didn't do the trick, and maybe they even liked it because they never backed off!!!
Anyway, the train arrives and as I step forward, Mr. "I was on the trading floor allll day yesterday" steps directly infront of me (and I'm practically dangling off the platform as it is) in his Navy wool blazer type coat so that I ram my face right into his back. He had to talk OVER my head to inform his rude british bunch "THERE ARE A TON OF SEATS!" Then what's the fucking rush? Why the me me me? I wish he had been rushing to jump off the platform onto the 3rd rail.
I'm tired and I was in the mood for a lightshow.
Apologies to my english pals. I'm sure my people piss your ass off, too.
