#to go to see a depressing memorial of history on Toussaint day

[tenrose]

I have such a karma with the local train line I swear.

Random ass boring story of the day

Ok,so by a conjunction of circumstances absolutely not under my control I learnt that I had to go to my parents today which fucked up all of my plan. Luckily I finished work earlier but I had 100 things to do, and basically I forgot some but it's not the story I will tell now.

Anyway I've been running since 2pm and I finally get on the bus to the train station at like 6:10pm. Now little background, the station is in Bordeaux aka France's city with the second biggest traffic jam (yes we managed to outdo Marseille and Lyon don't even ask), so with that in mind, living outside the city and having to cross the middle of it I was like "except for miracle I won't have the 7 train" and I didn't buy any tickets.

BUT since September my bus line has now its own road for like most of the line. And that thing is changing lives, you literally take 30 minutes for something that was previously taking 1 hour. It was a really pleasant moment to overtake all these stupid ass cars. So when there was two stops before the train station and 20 minutes left and it was 6:40 I'm like I can take the 7:08 train ticket, this won't take 20 minutes.

And the second I confirm payment I'm not kidding, the bus instantly stopped. Little did I forgot the last axis don't have a line for the bus, but also the closer you get to the train station, the more you encounter all the worst stupid pricks on the road. The concentration of cars, pedestrians and cyclists suddenly having no respect for traffic rules near the station needs to be studied. The bus almost run over a stupid ass blonde cyclist (it's always the cyclists causing the most problems) who thought crossing over a two ways busy road without looking left and right was a good idea. Anyway she's fine but I hope she will learn her lesson (but cyclists never do they are the biggest pain in the ass for everyone).

Finally the bus stop, I go out running, but I'm a very bad runner and I was stressing so basically I was out of breath with like a 200 bpm lmao. I arrived at the train platform I see the door of the train closing, I scream, I slammed the button and for once the stopped I FINALLY I'M IN MY TRAIN

Ended up out of breath, shaking, fighting for my life. Plus apparently when you do that on train doors they apparently put themselves into security mode, so today I was the one responsible for the train two minutes delay, and two more people got on it thanks to me.

Anyway, for once I would like to take a regional train without going through the five stages of grief 🤷

These stupid ass trains get delayed every single time except for when I'm late, it's crazy lmao
