(I understand mobility issues, this person had already walked through several coaches, they just couldn't understand they could walk through the central split of the train)

I appreciate it's not quite 7am and I have been up since 4am, but I don't understand why some people cannot understand "all the internal doors are open, please walk through" and insist on getting off, walking all the way down the platform and then getting back on.

Someone needs to tell that member of platform staff that calling someone a cow, no matter the tone of voice or context (in this case "you unlucky cow" as I was bemoaning my break at Rugby) is really fucking not appropriate. Followed up by "darling"
I would like to hand back my gender

(I made the fatal mistake of assuming I'd have a break at a sensible place, and chose to wash my hair rather than make a packed lunch today. I have regrets)

Platform staff literally saw me and spoke to me but didn't bother to tell me I had another wheelchair user in a different part of the train.
Basic communication!

Looks like I might have enough time to get some food at Milton Keynes before I go to Rugby.
Fingers crossed.

It's also a bank holiday weekend, so there's engineering works all over the fucking place, making everything slightly more complicated and annoying.

Also I have my break at Rugby where there's nowhere to get anything to eat.

people with too much fucking luggage.

I'm not really in the mood to be a human today, but I volunteered for this shift so I have no one to blame but myself.

Love telling people with too much luggage that they have to move it to allow a wheelchair user to sit the universal area
"What do I do with my suitcases?"
Don't care, just don't block the doors or the walkways.

It's a Sunday and we have a lot of football fans (already drinking at 0920) and

And then there's my Friday group who are all reprobates in varying degrees, and I'm wondering how much longer I can run them round in circles before they realise...

of context.

It's kind of frustrating at times, the newbie is a bit meta-gamey, and one player is a bit too keen to get their own way on things.
I'm a fairly relaxed DM, but sometimes the rules are the rules.

But then then are beautiful moments where it all just *works* and it's brilliant.

It's fascinating watching the differences in my players.
Me and one of them have been playing for 20 odd years. One has been playing a home brew for about as long, and d&d since COVID. One has been playing a couple of years and is a massive BG3 nerd, and one has never played, and doesn't have a lot

I actually got to run d&d the other day for my "Sunday" group (even though we played on Thursday) and were just getting into the swing of things when we had to pack up for the day.
We won't play again until November at the earliest because of other commitments, which is, quite frankly, a bit shit.

Actually stayed fairly sane. Some dickheads on platforms, but nothing major.
Just gotta get to Northampton and lock it up.

I've just left people behind at Euston and my train is still somewhat akin to a sardine tin.

And I've just been told the train out of Euston before me left a shit load of people behind.

Harrow and Wealdstone... Grinning and giving me thumbs up when I'm yelling "stand back!" from a moving train will not make me open the doors.

Also there is a type of passenger, 99% male, who, if they treat their partners like they treat our door buttons, I feel very sorry for their partners.
Mashing it faster and harder doesn't actually make it open faster.

All calm until Kings Langley, where I appear to have acquired a very drunk European guy who won't take his earbuds out, and who I think wants Finsbury Park, but I'm not entirely sure.
We don't go there, but he has a better chance of getting there from Euston than he does Kings Langley.

Cheddington... Nothing, but dear god is the muck spreading fresh 🤢

Leighton Buzzard... Nearly have to hit the emergency stop as we leave the platform as some moron tries to slap the side of the train as we move off.

Milton Keynes... Front of the platform is rammed, yell to say the back of the train is empty, no one reacts.

Right, it's a full moon and I'm working a late night service Northampton - Euston - Northampton.
Let's see what bullshit we get.

On my way to UKGE!

Reached the point of the year where my bedroom becomes uninhabitable, and because the universe enjoys kicking me in the balls, my upstairs toilet has stopped flushing, so I'm stuck using the downstairs one.

This is Beth. Beth has 9 more stations until they are done with trains for just under a week. Beth hates humanity but has to go and do tickets checks. Beth has at least realised there is pizza money so they don't have to cook tonight.

Sat spare at work and I'm so damn tired.

Wow, thanks for that 😅

Made a new category on the website "Gay Stuff" to collate some of our various.... gay stuff. Any of the minis can be whatever you like of course, these are the especially LGBTQI ones, and the pride dice (which I need to restock!) Also historically informative!
