Getting on a train on Saturday afternoon, coming back from larger market town on train line to all the smaller towns.

Me: Harried with, wife, kid of 8, kid under 3, everyone's hands full, tired.

Opponents: Gang of pre-teens and teens back from day at the local mall, shouting obnoxiously, making space for themselves on the platform.

Objective: Train seats.

Train stops right in front of where we are standing (point to us!). But not only do the teens push in front of us (all right, sorta fair play, big jostle) but break all the rules by pushing in before the outgoing passengers are even halfway out. Huge snarl for everyone on the train and platform, lost tempers, glares, teens slip through the snarl, snag the seats, we (and little kids) left standing. We're not the only ones; other mothers/fathers with little kids and struggling also standing.

The revenge: As train is jerking along and I'm trying to control a standing toddler and bags, one of the sitting pre-teen girls let a bag with a rolled poster sticking out of it flop over and across the aisle. I'll be darned if the poster just didn't roll right in front of my feet while I was shifting, and gosh darn I couldn't help my foot coming down on the poster, and in shifting weight, step hard and crush the poster roll. My foot had moved by the time the girl picked up the bag (without noticing).

Enjoy your teen idol's creased face, little bitches.
