Ok, fine, but that doesn’t explain the 5’1’’ who also stand up and immediately begin to ask tall people (probably like you) to get carry-on luggage down so it can be uncomfortably held in some weird Twister-pose interlocked with all the other idiots who can’t understand that they’ll be facing four other queues before they are home.
YOU might have a solid reason to race to the starting line. But come on: Most don’t!
Why does anyone need a "good reason"?
He he. I live in the U.K. If you don’t have a good reason, the tutting from others might increase to even audible levels, causing you endless social shame.
Imagine living on top of other people. They can look into your garden. They can see into your house. They are right next to you; on the trains, on the roads, in the tube. In that environment, the game of “who’s judging who” is strong. Welcome to the U.K.
I’m aware in the US, you don’t need a good reason to exercise your God Given Right to stand up when you God Damn Please and if anybody has any God Damn Thing to say to you, they better grab for the concealed carry.
But int he U.K., we we have swapped loaded firearms for social derision and it hurts almost as much as lead bullets.
...ok? Not sure how other people being up their own ass about what harmless thing you're doing qualifies as a "good reason". And whether you succumb to peer pressure like a wet straw is really besides the point.
Ah man, chill, I’m just here for the shits and giggles. Feel free to stand up next to me anytime you like. But be aware I’m secretly wondering why.
