This is a question The B3TA Detective Agency

Universalpsykopath tugs our coat and says: Tell us about your feats of deduction and the little mysteries you've solved. Alternatively, tell us about the simple, everyday things that mystified you for far too long.

When I commuted for a while last year, someone did this and managed to fuck the doors up, delaying everyone for 20mins while an engineer did some magic to them - on a packed commuter service. Given the delays it causes to following services, easily 1000 people had 20mins of their life wasted. So one bloke trying to save himself 7mins, manages to trash around 14 full days of human life. Good work!

for fucks sake, i cant believe what this forum has turned into
an anecdote about an isolated incident where some doors were closing on a train, they were briefly stopped from closing then train left on time. no one died.

maybe we should all just sit at home all day cocooned in bubble wrap wearing tin foil hats.

i suppose you drive everywhere at the speed limit, have never downloaded copyrighted material and have a fucking halo as well.

get a fucking life

I'm sorry, I forgot how incredibly edgy and cool it is to have no regard for the possible consequences of your actions on others, sorry for being so square.

In future I'll read more Bukowski and model myself on James Dean to inject the same devil-may-care swagger into my life

so you do drive everywhere at the speed limit then?
and have never done anything mildly irresponsible, spontaneous or illegal in any way.

does your holier-than-thou attitude not become slightly dented by being so judgemental and pious?

or are you just a hypocrite

I got the train into London last week.
Arrived on time and boarded the train without incident.

Is that the sort of story you were looking for?

Maybe this would have been a better approach for me to take.
Just giving an example of why people who do this annoy me so much, rather than being as abrasive as I was. I mean, only someone pathetically thin skinned who is taking their internetting far to seriously could possibly give a narky dismissive reply to you, couldn't they?
