...to spite your face!
I was on the train yesterday going to a friends house. My friend had been looking after my pet rabbit while I was away, and I was going to collect him. The conductor was walking along the train, checking the tickets, when a man waved him over. The man was sat with his wife and child.
SC: Someone is sat in our seats and they will not move.
C: OK sir, can I just check your ticket.
SC: Here. We paid for a table and someone has taken it. We are really not happy.
C examines the ticket.
C: Oh...sir, these tickets are for the later train.
SC: Well, I know that! We decided to get an earlier train instead!
C: Well sir, the people sat in your seats have paid for them for this journey, so they haven't actually done anything wrong.
SC: What?! But we paid for table seats!
C: Yes sir, but you paid for them on the later train.
SC: Well what am I supposed to do?
C: Well sir, you can either stay in these seats for the rest of the journey...
There was nothing wrong with the seats by the way, they just didn't have a table.
C: ...or you can get off at the next stop and wait 2 hours for the later train to arrive.
SC: Fine! We'll do that!
Wife: Oh honey, no, its OK...
SC: No. We booked a table, and that's what we're going to get.
Kid: Daaaaaaaad, I don't want to get off. I want to go home...
SC: Well you can blame the horrible people on the train for that.
The conductor started shaking his head and carried on checking tickets.
The three of them actually got off at the next stop.
