Do south west trains go out of there way to find the most ignorant ticket inspectors that they can find?

Question

I have never experienced such a bunch of "little Hitlers" in my life. Anybody else experienced this?

Answer 1

yes. They're a pretty miserable bunch.

Answer 2

YES

THEY HIRE THE PEOPLE THAT SCORE LOWEST ON THEIR CHARACTER TESTS

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

I wonder what you do for a living?

Answer 5

Thanks for that compliment but I think that your generalisations are somewhat misguided. It is easy to make sweeping remarks from behind a computer screen but I happen to be one of those inspectors-and I am neither ignorant nor miserable, unfortunately a lot of people only see us when we are challenging them for travelling with an invalid ticket or no ticket at all which goes a long way to explaining why our image is not a good one.

We are normal like everyone else, just trying to make a living.

Answer 6

i totally agree with u here i get fed up with having 2 see them when i get my tickets so i go to the machine now instead of going 2 the counter

i should nt really being saying this either as my boyfriend is a ticket inspector and will probally get in trouble 4 saying this but hay i got my own mind and yes they r so up there own @rss es its un beleiveable

Answer 7

If you was doing that type of job, with the verbal assualts, dealing with criminals everyday, and yes it is a criminal offence to travel without a valid ticket, to deal with some of the scum of the earth that travel on the trains, especially when they are drunk, drugged up, etc. Then you too would be a grumpy little Hitler.

When they come along, try saying good morning, smile at them, possibly even crack a joke with them, you will find they are just like the rest of us.

Like most people they have a job to do.
