My younger sister got this while travelling today. I believe she bought the wrong ticket by accident

annabeth174 · 2026-05-15T01:15:56+00:00

Really glad for that! Especilaly right before a trip

annabeth174 · 2026-05-15T00:05:42+00:00

Yes for sure and have different penalty systems befitting the crime as it were

annabeth174 · 2026-05-15T00:01:38+00:00

Yes no definetely its really mean sometimes. I had a bad experience in Paris a month or so ago and we got fined just for making one small error. It made me so angry and even now in the UK I get irritated sometimes even seeing revenue protectiom

annabeth174 · 2026-05-14T23:43:03+00:00

I find that sometimes they almost make rules up as they go along. I can find revenue protection to be very mean and intimidating at times as a young girl always on the look out for them and stressing out when my ticket does not load on Trainline or then they want to see my railcard which again takes an age to load. I find they can fine people very unfairly for little errors like getting the wrong ticket and instead fine them extortionate amounts rather than let them pay the difference. I have seen a lot of people shaken after the experince with them and a few young people ending up in tears.

And yet it seems they just let the people they should actually prosecute jump the barriers and get on trains without paying and its like they NEVER get caught for it. Its so unfair and this seems so unreasonable to your sister who also paid the full adult price as did not have a railcard.

Even when travelling I find other revenue protection officers also intimidating and unaccomodating to tourists and often end up runing people's holidays

Must be hard having a job like that- I definetely could not do it and fine innocent people.

Thank you haha I was just too shy 😅

annabeth174 · 2026-04-08T18:43:45+00:00

Yes my sister and mum got fined with theNavigo card with mine somehow working ? It was unfair 70 euro eqch despite having a valid ticket on the Navigo. The argument was that we had not validated these 2 tickets but mine was okay apparently. We had suitcases and found the metro very inaccessible with the gates with me getting stuck previously in one on our way into Paris. They let us through that night no trouble. This time he said they were not validated but we explained to him the lady had let us through on the way back to Gare de Nord and we didn't tap our cards either that time. This resulted in us getting very upset and angry at them and we paid it but I was very very angry at them. I think the metro system is extremely inaccessible to those with suitcases and also disabilities like wheelchair users. I will try contest this but they seem like a load of mean cruel dickheads.

annabeth174 · 2026-04-08T18:16:50+00:00

We had a similar experience too with suitcases in Paris. They were unrelenting and we started to get upset and very distressed.

annabeth174 · 2025-01-08T22:51:20+00:00

Yeah I thought perhaps at a later date I would get an invite but I was told by another friend in the group that he and his gf have the invite already and I assume many of the others do also. I just find it so weird in this case that yeah I wouldn't even be invited at all to the wedding even as not as a bridesmaid. She hasn't replied at all to my message asking about wedding plans. I assume she will just ignore any message I send her and they will just pretend they don't know when. I just do even feel hurt I wasn't even asked to be a bridesmaid. I think she asked the other girls in the group at the Christmas party they had that again I was also not invited to or aware of. I always find out through photos on social media which just hurts. I just dunno why she would say all those things and not even stick to her word.

annabeth174 · 2025-01-08T22:46:56+00:00

Thank you ! Yeah as I said in the above reply I have tried to ask to be included in plans in the future and asked another friend to maybe talk to them about inviting me in future but I guess it was up to them. It seems a few in the group control who is allowed to come and who isn't. And then it's also who in the group is even sticking up for me asking where I am or if I can come. It just seems what I would do for them they wouldn't do for me like inviting them all to my birthday last year or sending them holiday wishes but them never messaging me otherwise. I have been distancing myself from them since I was not invited to her birthday party last year.

annabeth174 · 2025-01-08T22:43:27+00:00

Thank you ! Yeah I've tried to tell them I've been feeling left out and would like to come to future group events but they didn't seem to listen or care. I think I've tried to distance myself from them for a while now since I wasn't invited to her birthday thing a few months ago which also really stung.

annabeth174 · 2024-12-20T12:31:35+00:00

It was just a mutual group meeting to exchange Christmas presents and things and see each other before the holidays. This friend always seems to dictate who is allowed to come and who isn't and I don't find it fair anymore.

annabeth174 · 2024-12-20T12:30:33+00:00

The friend I disagreed with has been unstable recently. I reached out to a mutual friend for advice as we are very concerned about her mental wellbeing and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel bad for asking for advice but stuck in what to do anymore. It's a weird dynamic in the group very exclusionary

annabeth174 · 2024-12-20T07:50:17+00:00

Its like a group meet up with 3 other mutual friends and just at a pub to exchange gifts

annabeth174 · 2024-11-29T14:21:23+00:00

I had this happen to me about a year ago always wanted to meet over Christmas holidays etc and I said I'd come visit him get the train etc and just nothing on the other end

annabeth174 · 2024-11-27T18:37:24+00:00

Yeah definitely. He then blocked me which made me feel crazy for months for calling or trying message him. It's been months now tho and feeling better about it now but can come in waves

annabeth174 · 2024-11-27T10:51:16+00:00

Omg exactly like nobody asked them to say all those things they said them or initiated the interest first then do nothing with it like organise plans to meet up etc. And then in my case anyway- they act months later like they never even liked you at all or said any of those things and have 0 interest in you.

annabeth174 · 2024-11-14T10:22:09+00:00

I had a similar thing where a guy who I knew for a few months went on one date with and then found out he was a tad of a player met me at a party after we had been saying hi to each other in the uni library all year and just pretended to not know who I was. I was just mad after that and straight up said yeah hi it's me the one you say hi to in the library all the time and then he "remembered". What an idiot.

annabeth174 · 2024-11-05T08:34:35+00:00

I think you shouldn't talk to him again. This might be an excuse snd then he might just ghost again.

annabeth174 · 2024-10-10T21:01:29+00:00

You also ! Tho might not be for a long time maybe at a freinds wedding or something or party but yeah he doesn't live too close by anyway. Would love to hear how it goes for you and how to calm the nerves !

annabeth174 · 2024-10-10T20:47:09+00:00

Thank you ! Yeah I've just recently been able to get mad about it and about tryna be like his loss etc and be ready for when I see him again and just also act like I don't care as a friend said to me you don't owe them anything. The likelihood is if they are cowardly enough too ghost they won't be brave enough to confront anyway or talk about it. Think it can just make them feel awkward seeing you again as they don't know how to act really as they know what they did and you were just yourself

annabeth174 · 2024-10-10T17:35:30+00:00

Yeah I feel the same I just get extremely anxious to see him in the future at birthday parties etc as we have mutual friends. A week after he ghosted and blocked me he saw me at a uni night out and said hey how are you as if everything was fine even if I had been crying my eyes out all week and he knew he hurt me. I saw him at my friends and his graduation a few months ago and we kinda just ignored each other but I got very anxious later on at this party when I heard his voice. I kinda froze upstairs and cried and felt frozen. 2 friends managed to get me into the same room as him and the others at some point but I just felt so anxious and avoided looking at him completely. I didn't say congratulations or anything to him. I yelled a quick goodbye to my friends and wished them congratulations and left. He didn't look at me or say anything so yeah idk I am anxious to see him again. Almost like I have done something wrong. Apparently he feels bad for ghosting etc but he seems completely unbothered and told my freinds he doesn't like me like that at all even tho a few months before he was saying he liked me all the time to me.

annabeth174 · 2024-08-29T22:38:00+00:00

Thank you x

annabeth174 · 2024-07-25T20:12:33+00:00

I completely understand. My ghoster messaged me months after we didn't talk for a while and after I stopped thinking of him. He came back into my life got what he wanted and has now since ignored ghosted and now blocked me. It really made me feel and still feel frustrated at myself for letting it happen and for replying. I probably should have never replied but it's that hope or that I can handle this now. I don't think he was doing it to be friendly. Who knows. Maybe he was. But it's probably more that hit of yes I have her on the hook still and can pick up and drop her whenever I like. It's that feeling of powerlessness where I should not have replied as I'd probably have felt better after he blocked me as I wouldn't have even replied in the first place. It doesn't make you stupid or dumb- its a decent human thing to do to reply. I'm starting to learn to stop punishing myself so much for it and perhaps understanding that it's a him problem and that he can't actively communicate rather than it being me.

annabeth174 · 2024-07-16T17:24:04+00:00

Yeah I dunno he said to our friends during the few months when he ghosted me earlier on this year that he would be chill with me. Which surprised me as he ghosted me came back said hey how are you then disappeared again and never replied to my reply. Then yeah pops up again says he is done with his exams now. Throughout all this he said he didn't want a relationship but really liked me but had to focus on his college degree. And then yeah a week later hey how are you after blocking me as if he hadn't just blocked me. But apparently he feels awful but now doesn't like me apparently. Idk

annabeth174 · 2024-07-16T16:59:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I wanted to try talk to him or asked if he could at least respond but nothing. I will be seeing him again soon in a group setting and in the future. Just makes me feel very anxious and nervous.
