reipanFUCK YOU. SO, SO, SO MUCH.
Okay, let me explain. My life's going through a bit of a bad patch right now, just in general. Nothing I can't live with, you know? Just one of those things that sometimes happens to people.
HOW does London Transport manage to time itself so that it clashes with my bad patches and makes them awful? I mean, for fuck's sake. I'm in a fairly good mood, in spite of everything; okay, it's raining and cold, and I have a bunch of shit to do tonight, but I did get out of TOK early, so I was on the bus at twenty to four. Awesome. I've been having some trouble with my Oystercard lately, but it's still been working, so I figured it'd be okay. It worked on the train, after all...
No? No. I stick it on the reader, nothing happens. I try again, nothing happens. I look at the driver; he just gives me this incredibly dirty look and says 'your travelcard must not be valid'. Yeah, thanks, mate, not only do I have a travelcard until July, but I'm seventeen. I go free on buses. You idiot.
So, I've lost two quid for no reason, and I have to get up early tomorrow and go down to Turnham Green station, where they will doubtless tell me to fill out approximately six million bits of paperwork, and I'll probably have to buy a travelcard anyway.
This prospect does not thrill me.
FUCK YOU, TFL.
If you're going to make us all switch to Oyster, you could at least have Oyster WORK.
