Travelling London Paddington to Cheltenham for a house party one friday night...
I got out of work late, the Tube was shit and slow (so running normally) and I got the Paddington at about six o'clock. I queue for a 'fast' ticket machine and get quoted £97 for a off peak return.

After picking myself off the floor, queuing up for the kiosk retards to tell me the same price due to 'peak travelling times', I ask when the ticket prices return to sanity. Turns out it's half an hour, and the cost is £25. So I go to a pub, have a nice cold overpriced pint, board the train a little later than expected and save myself £75 quid.

The thing that really gets my goat is that the peak train was fucking EMPTY. Just one or two suits who probably pay for their tickets on expenses.

How the fucking cunty fuck is that cost effective?!

Sir, your logic has no place within these walls.

It can only be applied Monday-Friday, on posts after 10:30am but before 5pm (not including third-tier responses), any time during weekends (but not Bank Holidays) and when made as a first post on /questions.

Well played Sir. Your post made me simultaneously laugh and flashback to that dark, dark day, thereby unleashing both amusement and RAGE. I now feel utterly spent. *lays down in the corner crying*
