Rather sit on a toilet than stand?

Yes, it does sound rather bleak - apparently that's what GA commuters have to face.

tight squeeze

Unfortunately there are speed restrictions at #stratford at the moment, so things are a little cramped. On the plus side I am on the 0740 rather than the 0759 - so it makes me feel like I am really making an effort coming in early (albeit later than usual).

What cracks me up though is the man who would actually rather sit in the disgusting toilet (not the seating area around the toilet carriage, I'm talking he must be full on sitting on the toilet seat) than stand up!! He was a rather large man, so maybe standing up was too much for him, but to be honest, I don't know how he has managed to fit in the toilet, it's tiny in there! I just can't wait to see when he comes out, I just want to look at his face, and give him a "wow, well done" look. I wonder if he's in there thinking about all the people that have done their business in there, never mind the other things that doesn't bear thinking about! (yes, your fellow travelers are filthy animals).

Okay so he has just emerged just before Liverpool Street, he actually flushed the chain before he came out, so perhaps it was just the world's longest toilet session? Funnily enough, he has gone through the doors to the next carriage, so I imagine he knows that I am judging him.

You can't help but chuckle...

So it has been a while since I have posted.  I went away for a week, sick for two weeks, so my non-commuting life was rather calm and somewhat...boring.  

We haven't been delayed too much recently and I can thankfully say that no one has upset me to the point that I need to do a blog-rage, so maybe I am making some progress, or in fact, commuters are becoming more train-friendly.

I happened to come across an article today, which did make me laugh.  I haven't actually seen them myself, as I don't tend to use the toilets in the trains, but I've heard that these prank stickers are not only in the toilets, so I will have to check them out.  We have our own version (albeit slightly distasteful!) of COMMUTER BANKSY !

Check this out!

Apparently Greater Anglia are not amused by the defacing of the carriages, but you know, sometimes it's nice to have a little light hearted fun on the train.  What are your thoughts?  Have you seen any on the train on your daily commute?

Please send me pictures by Twitter if you have done! @chelmsfordienne
