It was inspired by some underground Swedish folk-rap

sending emails
I'm still poorly, so I'm limiting the damage of not being in by being as efficient as possible

My manflu is still hanging aroud a bit, but nothing to complain about.
Get those e-mails sent, there is nothing I like less than a load of mails waiting for me when I get in, and go back to bed.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 7:58, Reply)

I think I've sent all the ones I need to send
I'll hang about until 9 or so just to check for reponses

I had a return ticket
And left the second part of it at work. It's not the having to pay an extra ticket, it's the 10min of telling me off, accusing me of lying and cheating, not accepting to take my details and let me show him the ticket today, and threatening me to court.

It's a ling story for the phone. More details later.

Did he actually fine you though?

(Bazongaloid, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 7:32, Reply)

He can't fine me
If I refuse to pay the ticket he can send me to court, but he can't fine me himself.

I told him to take my details and do as he wanted, as I had the ticket in the office, and then he changed tone and told me, very condescendently, that he was letting me of.

I tried to pick my ticket then, and he started telling me off again, waving the ticket in front of my face. That he was going to be watching for me today, and making sure I had the ticket or going to court. He repeated that for more than 5 min. At one point I standed straight and move my hands like saying I didn't understand why all that, and he raised his voice and started to shout "Don't fight me back, listen to me and don't fight me back!" WTF??

There were thousands of questions of why I only had 1 part of the ticket, why I had tickets for other days, why I usually buy weeklies, why I had to send the tickets to my employer, why I couldn't give it day by day to my employers in Runcorn... and all of them I'd answer and he'd come back with "Yeah, so you say, but you could just have given your ticket to someone else before going past the barrier" Really? Why would I do something so stupid? Why? And have you seen anyone else going past the barrier with me?

Next time, ask for his name or reference.
and tell him you are going to complain to his supervisor.

You were right to keep your cool though.

I should have done it, shouldn't I?
I find it very frustrating because I can't defend myself in English as well as I can in Spanish. When I'm upset I stop thinking properly, and the words come out in a confusing way. I just wanted to go home.

You should have started explaining it slowly and calmly in Spanish.
Just to watch his confusion.
