A Complaint

Just for a change.

I can see the point of having announcements on trains, particularly for people not familiar with the route. It would be quite handy to have someone telling you which station the train is approaching. Or if you wake up and it's dark outside, and you think 'Where the frick am I?'. Quite useful, I suppose.

But there's a limit. What you don't need is a 3000-decibel spiel informing you that you're now approaching Pigsknuckle, and a few seconds later that you have now arrived at Pigsknuckle, where you should change for routes to Bonefuck, Arsecandle and Shithole. Oh, and the station has a no-smoking policy. Oh, and mind the gap when alighting from the train.

Mind the gap? In case of what? How many people in the history of the world have ever fallen down the gap? Not many, I'd imagine. The gap is about 3cm (that's an inch and a bit, imperial measurement fans). You couldn't even fit Kate Moss through that. At least not without a lot of effort.

And now the train has left Pigsknuckle. The next stop for this train is Shutthefuckupdammit.
