Could you whisper in my ear?

So today a freight-train decided to have an accident on the Caboolture line. Thank you. I got to take a rail bus from Caboolture to Petrie station, deducting 10 minutes from my dawdling time. So by the time I got at Central I had to uber-fast pace my way to the bus stop - and as we all know, Central wasn't too smart with the placement of the bus stop, 700 metres away. I just made the Griffith shuttle bus, so I didn't miss my lecture. I wasn't too fussed though, lecture attendance isn't marked.

Although, on the way to the city from Petrie, I found it quite ammusing watching commuters trying to get on. It was literally jam-packed. But I guess the somewhat big guy couldn't get the hint. Now, let me emphasise how small the space he was trying to get in was --- I wouldn't have been able to stand there. But this big guy tried, and he tried, and he got pushed back outside due to all the squishiness. And he refused to think it had anything to do with his stuborness, but the commuters already in the train's lack of trying. Stupid man.

What was he doing getting on the city train from Wooloowin station anyway? The particular train was meant to run express, but they made it to an all-station train. Therefore, people shouldn't have been wanting to get into that train from that station as the express skips it.

It was fun to watch commuters give up on getting on the train.

Stupid freight-train.
