I’m staying in an apartment in
London near a tube station. It’s a scorching Summer’s morning so I’ve left the
window open. Suddenly; there’s loads of shouting coming from the station. I
ignore it and prepare for my day’s travels. Unfortunately, the house’s wi-fi is
very slow which is odd as I’m the only person who should be using it. On my way
to the station, I log into the server and find out that the same person who’s
been ranting their head off all morning has somehow hacked into the wifi. I
head back into the apartment to turn off the modem; and once he discovers that
he’s been disconnected, he looks up at the window in disgust. ‘Beat it’ I say,
and he does. I return to the station and discover that my bag which I left in a
corner of the station has gone. Frustrated, I board the train, realising only
afterwards that it’s got my cash and travel documents in. As the ticket man
approaches I manage to produce a mobile phone and many card receipts but not
the ticket itself. I’m therefore charged £80 to get me to my destination; where
I’ll have to buy another expensive ticket if I want to continue traveling for
the rest of the week. Did I get served?
