  • "You're ***e for not helping me buy a ticket, even though the train is already arriving!"

    Met the most awful person today. I was rushing to catch the train to work (it was already arriving) when this woman standing in front of the ticket machines asks me how to buy a train ticket.
  • I hear the train arriving, so I panic and say "I don't know, I have to go." I run for the train and barely make it on.
  • Then somehow this woman also gets on the train in time and says to the train employee "thanks for your help.
  • I asked this girl at first, but she was so rude." Then, she passes me and says "thanks for your help, which was nonexistent." I reply with something like "how was I supposed to help?
  • The train was already coming." And she says "by being selfless and helpful." This pisses me the fuck off.
  • There's a time and place to be selfless and helpful, but I was about to miss my train for work.
  • Before I get off the train, I tell her "all I said was 'I don't know, I have to go.' I was rushing to go to work." Then she goes "doesn't matter," implying that I should've helped her despite this.

  • I tell her that she's not entitled to anyone's help, and she retorts "you're not entitled to speak to me this way." At this point, I'm like ???
  • and tell her that she's not entitled to say "thanks for your help, which was nonexistent" then.
  • Then she goes like "but you were unhelpful. I'm done with this conversation." Completely ruined my day.
  • I'm not normally a confrontational person, but she was making my blood boil. Why should I risk my job to help her with her train ticket?
  • Sure, the train employee helped her, but it's their fucking job, not mine. Besides, she was right in front of the ticket machine that literally has a huge button saying "buy a ticket." I didn't have time to ask her to elaborate on what she needs help with.
  • I really don't know how she managed to buy a ticket AND make it on the train.
  • I'd like to think that she didn't have one and got kicked off the train when the employees go around checking people's tickets..
  • Maleficentendscurse Another snappy response you could have given her "given that you're not an invalid, read the instructions on the monitor, I have no obligation to help but witchy woman like you" then hopefully just completely ignore her existence. Also just curious since you didn't use it to get machines I'm guessing you have a permanent/year-long pass or something just curious? →
  • OP bangtanxinfires I have a reloadable pass!
  • bibkel Mine would be "I couldn't afford to miss the train and be late for work, and I didn't know how much help you needed or how long it would take. The risk was too big for me today. Glad you got help from someone who actually works here." She'd snark back of course, but I'd just reply "sorry you feel that way-have the day you deserve." Edit to add, I'd keep the "bitch" part in my head.
  • Egwene_aes_Sedai She just wanted the last word.
  • Beautiful_Camel_17 When she said "Thanks for help" that's when you look at her with a big obnoxious smile and say "You're so very welcome!!" Then you start scrolling on your phone and ignore anything else she says.
