If any of you lot are responsible for these rude young school kids on this train that dont stand for ****ing old people, you should hang your heads in shame.

On the Frankston train one morning several years ago there were some smartarse kid from one of the mentone schools on their way to school. A blind bloke got on and made his way down the carriage with his stick but one of the kids used his foot to slide another kid's school bag in front of the blind guy to trip him up after he'd navigated the aisle of the carriage. Somebody stopped the bloke's fall and he wasn't physically hurt but the kids were busting their guts laughing which got me a bit worked up. I threw about 3 or 4 school bags out onto the platform at Edithvale as the doors closed. They threatened to stab me but a few other people jumped in and the little arses all got off at Aspendale to go back and get their bags.

I sent an e-mail recently to a private boys school and got a reply / call and apology the next day ( a Saturday ) about train behaviour.

Sent another to a public school and have heard nowt. But they might get another one soon. Advice would be to avoid the 566 bus between 3.15 - 4.00 p.m. around Bundoora way. Appalling behaviour.

I was a bit concerned over the next few days I have to admit, but it was in the 90s when I did it and I think by now I'm safe, even though I've only been on a train four or 5 times in the last 3 years. I doubt they are waiting to get me back any longer.

Unless Nate7 or Disco Dew used to be students who travelled on the Frankston line. I could be in trouble if they did.

I seem to have a faint memory of throwing some kid's bag out the window of a Hitachi train one time too. I can't recall the detail but he must have done something to deserve it. I can recall a few people being a bit annoyed by me doing it. It was a long time ago though.

The world loves a good luggage hero,

True story,
I was flying out of new delhi few years ago, in the departure hall, pretty long line to the carry on xray machine moving pretty slowly.

Every now end then a higher caste campagner would come along, peer up the line and basically walk to the front of the line and push through,

After about 3 or 4 of these pricks by which time me and the missus were close to the fromt of the line some other joker plays the same line and plonks his bag on the belt

By this time i had a gutfull and walked up to the xray maching grabbed his bag and flung it across the hall.

Old mate turns round to me, noticed i wasnt a local and begins to offer a pathetic apology, i said bull your not sorry or you wouldnt have pushed on. He retrieved his bag went to back of like, meanwhile all the plebs in the line smiling and giving me posative gestires.

That was the day i was closest to being a cult hero.

Best I've got is reminding some CEO that only a few people know who he even is, no one cares who he is, that to the rest of the world he is nobody but a bald old bloke with a family who hate him. He had cut a line, abused some hotel staff and 'chop chop'd them to fetch him a bottle of water.

Used to get them all the time when I worked in hotels. They’d just abuse any younger reception staff they could get to.
Had to remind them that to us they were just another arseh*le who would be blacklisted. They would all bluster that we’d cost the hotel company, which owned a hell of a lot of the 5 star and corporate preferred hotels, a shit ton of money. All we ever heard back was the occasional apology.

What did you throw

His carry on bag, dont think the squirrel grip is an accepted cistom in india.

I sent an e-mail recently to a private boys school and got a reply

After watching National Lampoon's Animal House at the Ballarat Drive-In back in 1979 some of the boys I went to school with decided a visit to St Martin's in the Pines Catholic Girl's School would be a good idea. The stupid thing I did was mention that I knew a girl who went to that school (a boarder). We rocked up in two cars and the lady at the office actually paged the girl I knew (I thought they would have called the police). One of my mates actually said to the receptionist to not worry as his uncle was a priest (Paedophile Offender: Monsignor John Day | Kelso Lawyers).

Trouble was, even though we spoke and she seemed willing enough to find a few friends they were not allowed off campus after hours.

For the best perhaps.

Actually, yes. It was for the best.

I was once a student, but never travelled on the franger line in my youth.

I think many here would've held those pricks down and scared the living shit out of them and literally!

Its admirable you recall the make of the train but not what the kid did to have his nag hurled.

 

[koshari]

Oh great, another season of "dancing with some capagners you may or may not have heard of" again.

 

[Samsquanch]

Hitachi trains had windows you could open.

Of course, on rainy days there would always be this one person who insisted on opening a window so they could breathe, but who had no regard for the people in the seats behind copping the rain spray. Ar$eholes

 

[Nate7]

Speaking of Hitachi trains, my memorable moment was watching a mullet bolt down the ramp at Moorabbin, into the open window as the citybound train was departing.

Obvious from his form, he'd done it a few times before.

I sent an email to a school a few years back complementing because the kids offered their seat to a lady that was about 90 years old.

Going by the call I got from the principal that afternoon she was shocked to receive a positive email on that topic.
