OOPPSSS!!! This is a blog I posted a few days ago on my other blog, but Dave (forgive me) I forgot to put it here. Anyway you didn't miss out on much, Just my mate's story.
Besides work and my ongoing battles with the bastards at Centrelink not much has been happening in my life. So I'll save those stories for later.
Instead here is an amusing tale my friend Sian had to tell me. Anyone who has caught a late night train to the sunshine coast can relate to this one.
Had an amusing experience friday nite on train, some guy got on at Bald Hills, off his face, and sat down nearish me. Stopped at Petrie, he got up, stood in the doorway, and SCREAMED "Would all u fuckers just get OFF the FUCKING train so I can get the Caboolture! Jesus CHRIST!!!"
By that point I was locating all my nearest exits lol. Then, about 1/2 way to Dakabin, there was only me, him, and another guy about my age in our end of the carrage, plus 5 people up the other end. Ticket people came through, and the guy my age (sitting opp. the drunk guy) didnt have a ticket:
Drunk dude (dd), to ticket lady: That fucker doesnt have a ticket! Even I have a ticket! Are you going to arrest the bastard?
TL: Hang on, i'll just call to see if he's registered as being caught without a ticket before
DD: So? Is he a criminal?
TL: Nah, he's alright. THIS time
DD: You see mate, you should be more like me. Back, ah, ten years ago, I was a big name fucker in Caboolture. Now, i'm a reformed criminal! I even buy TRAIN tickets!
(Me and other ticket dudes nearly piss ourselves laughing, me trying not to attract attention by hiding behind my book).
Train pulls in at Dakabin,
DD: Why the fuck are be stopping here? This is fucked up man...who the hell'd live here anyway? (Sees two people, a lady about 40 and a 30ish guy standing at door waiting to get ofF) Except these fuckers...
Lady getting off: Thanks a lot mate
DD to lady: Shit.......so, good place to live?
Again, me trying to not die laughing. Train leaves, ticket dudes leave, DD looks at me and looks at other guy and whispers (pretty much yells) "She looks stoned!"
DD to me: Are you fucked off ur face?
Me: (Not as much as you, you wanker!) No, just reading.
That's pretty much it, besides me dodging when he tried to slap my ass on the way out. God there are some weird people about, but at least they give a bit of entertainment!
