So I've just finished work & I'm on the train going home. It's 9 o'clock in the evening I'm tired & I just want to read my book. A teenager around 15/16 comes bowling onto the train D&B music blaring on his phone without headphones & parks his carcass opposite me. I look up & this is how the series of events goes
Me 'Mate, can you turn that off or down I really don't want to listen to it'
Teen 'WOT?'
Me 'I said can you turn it down. I'm trying to read.'
Teenager 'Why should I?'
Me 'How about consideration of others? I doubt anyone else wants to listen to it'
Teen looks me up & down makes some 'tst' noise then carrys on bopping to his music
His phone then rings & after listening to him butchering the english language it becomes evident he isn't sure when his stop is but I know the area well enough to know its 2 stops after mine
I go to get up for my stop & just as I'm about to get off the train
Teen 'OI is tis 'emel?'
Me 'Yeah'
Teen then jumps off the train as the doors are closing, realises that he isn't at Hemel Hempstead
Teen 'You f***ing prick this int emel'
Me 'Don't you wish you'd turned your music down? Next train is an hour, enjoy the wait'
I walk off with a torrent of abuse following behind me knowing nothing the little douche could say would top what I'd just done to him. Felt slightly guilty but smug as a bastard for taking the opportunity to exact some small & petty revenge.
So the question to you escapists is, have you ever experienced something like this? Someone acting like a dick to you & you getting your own back in some opportunist manner?
