In the Train..

My friend, Azia and I took the train to and back from Dublin. We booked our tickets online for our journey. On our way back to Cork, we made it to the train station just in time to get our tickets and board the train. We booked the best seats, with tables because we had our laptops with us.

So, we board the train, looks for our seats with our over-sized back packs (due to all the shopping). When we arrived at our designated seats (with our names on the LCD), they were a couple and their daughter sitting in our pre-booked seats. So, we did what anyone else would do, tell them politely that they were in our seats, and explained that we had booked our tickets online. We wouldn't have made a big commotion about it if the lady would just apologize and say something like, "my bad", "we didn't know", or "we didn't see the names" etc.. We were pissed off because this lady was so rude and told us that we should have been early so that they could have looked for other seats... ??? WTH?? What was the point of having online booking if you were to come early to get good seats?? Especially when it is Sunday after X-mas holiday.

The thing that ticked me off was a) they were rude to start off with, b) only the father apologized, but not the rude lady c) the fact that she blamed us for being ignorant..
Duh~!!
