2 minutes silence

I only had to work a half day yesterday thanks to the roster at the station I was working. I officially finished at 12:00 but was taken off 30 minutes early by my colleague. I decided to wait around until after the 2 minutes silence. At 11:59 we stopped all the public announcements, closed the ticket office, and turned off the ticket machines. Most of our staff then came into the ticket hall to join our customers in the 2 minutes silence.

Probably around 100 or so people bowed their heads and paid their respects to the dead and injured in last weeks atrocities, except for one obnoxious suit who came running into the ticket hall, noticed all the machines were closed and the ticket office also, and started swearing at the staff to sell him a ticket NOW as he was late for work, and its all the fault of LUL and their shitty service etc etc etc. After the 2 minutes, this poor man was verbally accosted by about 10 customers. Maybe next time he will have a bit more respect for other people.
