[#5079540]

I am sat on the train and was promoting the big bike bash to the bloke on the seat across the aisle. I gave him a BBB flyer and the woman sat facing me gave a disproving sigh/snort noise. For fun I asked if she wanted a flyer.

She replied "do I look like a cyclist?"

I replied "not really but cycling is really good when you need to shed a few pounds"

Bloke still holding the flyer nearly pissed himself.

I am now staring at my phone intently trying to avoid making eye contact with the woman sat less than two feet away.

My thoughts, exactly 🙂

WCA.
Come on, admit it. You meant to do that, didn't you.

Disapproving sigh/snort?! Why, if you were just talking to someone about something you enjoy. Sounds like she got what she deserved, well done.

Give her a flyer as you leave the train; "It really does help with weight loss".

Take a photo of her for a new flyer
"This could be you if you don't come to the BBB"

With the old slam door trains then you could have ejected her from the train fairly easily. Not so easy with the push button doors unfortunately.

I am still trying to keep a straight face and pretend it was a well meant comment. She is now reading her magazine and keeps staring at me.
Thankfully I get off next stop.

Stare back at her - see how long she lasts before one of you blinks/looks away...!

I thought the standard response was "Button it, fatty!"

She followed me off the train but I can limp faster than she waddled so I could escape in a taxi.
Tried to get a photo but it is blurred where I was hobbling too quickly

Keep winking at her, raising your eyebrows, and doing that mouth thing that I have no idea how to describe. That should get her to ignore you, or move seat.

If it all goes pear shaped and she fancies you as a result, say "Do I look like a porky poker?"

I thought it was odd he wanted to bum the fat bird.

But not surprised.

Does your phone have a wide angled lens?

Given the reach that STW commands, I'm a touch surprised no-one is reporting their mum / wife / sister has sent them a huffy text about being on the train and getting insulted by a random bloke with a limp 🙂

My reply would have just been "**** off you fat ****" but there we go, you have more class than me.

Just the other day you were the poster boy for tolerance on another thread.

And now you come out with this?

Grow up.
