You should have said "I think they made a special exception for you two today but don't worry, I'm not bothered about sharing the carriage with you."
The biggest twats in first class are the city types, or business stiffs who insist on talking really loudly and having dead loud phone calls. Ignorant tossers, makes the red mist come down. Full of the big I am. Not averse to telling them to wind the volume down either. Life is too short to tolerate invasive pillocks.
Plus I like the croissants...
Good for you. Hold your ground. Don't ascend to their level. If you find yourself in a "mouthed twat" situation make sure you firmly occupy the low ground and steer a broad course around "smart".
lol CabbageCat is funny!
It really is amazing what you can see on some people's laptop screens on trains, or the private phone calls you overhear people making!
I imagine there are legions of gobby snobs out there who feel terribly inadequate to this day following one of your socio-intellectual drubbings.
Meh! water off a ducks back to me, It must be in my psyche to confront these people, I don't see it changing any time soon.
I had an interview some years ago for British Airways (the most corrupt company I have ever worked for) and was required to sit and wait in a main reception hall with about 100 other people. All of us were in suits but mine wasn't as conventional as the others and my hair, whilst neat, was quite long. I got quite a few stares and felt I was being talked about and noticed there were quite a few there wearing old school ties or emblems. Basically, they were a thoroughly unpleasant and unfriendly lot who thought a lot of themselves.
Anyway, every 15 mins or so, someone would come out and call out an aircraft type i.e. 757, Tristar etc and a group of people would go off with them with the remaining ones looking all smug and it became apparent that the group waiting was diminishing but the types of aircraft being called out where getting bigger and more impressive. They got to the call out for 747s and all those that were left got up except for me. They all turned to each other and were very perturbed. One guy arrogantly asked me "So, what are you flying then"? and I just said "Concorde of course". Their smug faces just dropped. I was actually there to work in ticketing!
Up the workers!
Cue a couple of suited types looking around awkwardly and stammering they were talking about something else.
I must admit, I wasn't intending to be confrontational about it, it was a genuine "excuse me?" moment! Very strange.
My feedback thread is here.
It wasn't really intentional, I don't think I have the confidence to do that - more my internal dialogue bypassed the filter on my brain and came out.
It did work though. I got a free upgrade to first class because of some hassles with my train.
