Snobby Cruise Planning on the Regular Train

Lady, if you are going to be this cranky and snobby when talking to your friend/significant other/whatever about how you want the grand-ultimate-all-inclusive-most-amazing-cruise-in-the-world, maybe you should not travel with other people/couples/whatever. 

You have indicated that it's not your fault "they don't drink" so you're "getting a drink package for yourself" and that you "want a certain level of luxury, so if they don't want to spend that much they can stay in an interior cabin." Wow. You know what? You should go alone. Completely alone. That way, nobody else can ruin your good time.

And you can't ruin theirs.

Gossips on the Morning Train

Okay - first no, it is not a late train. Got it.

Ladies, if you insist on carrying on the conversations of how everyone else you know is a bad mother, on drugs, a dead beat, stupid, unemployable, on the wrong side of politics, are all "screwed," etc., could you quiet it down?

Nice how you throw in that you didn't make it to church this weekend because you were so busy. Don't worry. I'll pray for you. I'll also pray that my own gossipy, judgey habits are dissolved. It's an ugly thing, and hearing someone else do it non-stop for an entire train ride is saddening and humbling.

People: be nice to each other. In public, in private, in front of each other, and behind each other.
