Should I be very flattered that twice in one day, two lost foreign ladies have thought to approach me on the train and ask whether they're travelling in the right direction? One woman got up from her seat, having missed her stop, and asked me how to get back. She had been surrounded by people and could have asked any one of them.
I'm surprised because a lot of the time, I'm convinced that I look like a cat that swallowed a wasp, but it seems not so. Is this the face of a reliable, trustworthy person? #DARTLIFE

@sophiegrenham I’m sorry, Sophie. That took bravery, especially these days. It’s sad that respectfully asking someone to stop doing something that’s affecting everyone else’s comfort can so often be met with hostility instead of simple understanding and kindness.

Further to my post about people blasting noise on their phones on the train, some of you said I should approach them and ask them to stop or play noise at them to give them a taste of their own medicine. I just asked a respectable looking teenager in a school uniform to put his earphones in. First, he looked at me blankly, making me repeat myself, then indignantly denied doing anything. He couldn't have been more than 14 or 15 and kept playing crap on TikTok to spite me, telling me to mind my own business. My own business? Huh. Refusing to be bested, I gave him cheek back in front of his two older Spanish pals, who thought the whole thing was hilarious. I said, "Oh, you're so smart. It's great to be the big man." He eventually put the phone away, but I'm sure he pretended it wasn't because of what I said.
This is someone's son, and look how he speaks to a woman who asks him to do the decent thing - with utter contempt.
I hid it as best I could, but I am now shaking. I can't confront people like this, friends. Don't suggest it again. #DARTLIFE

@sophiegrenham I’ll never understand. I have to keep myself from cleaning the entire table.

Whenever I eat in a busy restaurant, I can't help but notice the mess that some families leave behind at their tables. Today at lunch in Airfield, there was one lot who had food and napkins and crayons and other misc things on the floor, on the chairs, everywhere but the table itself. What is wrong with them? I see this too often.

@LaurieAtBoston Afternoon Laurie, no baking today 🙈

We certainly do 😁

@OliLondonTV Or you could say she did a great job. That would actually be true. Instead, you want to invite negative people, haters, who would rather bash someone than applaud.
