Birmingham to Wolves £5.80 extra for 1st class

So in order to swap my aplha industries m65 jacket from a medium to a small cause they fit ridiculously big I had to go to wolves to exchange it. Met JP at 2 and headed for the station, Jumped on the first Virgin train that came, us both having travel passes we didn't worry, as we got on all the seats in the first two carriages were full so we walked further to find more, and we found three 1st class carriages and no more standard... so instead of trekking all the way back down the train we stood in between two first class carriages. All was fine and plenty of bantar until the ticket man came and demanded we pay £5.80 for being in first class. We were stood up... why should we pay for first class?

The conversation went something like this...

W = Witts
J = JP
T = Ticket man

T : Tickets please
(we show tickets)
T: ok thats an extra 5.80
J & W: For what?!
T: First class is 5.80
J: but were standing in first class, cause the rest of the train is full
W: thats why were standing.. if we wanted to pay we would have been sitting
T: 5 pounds 80 if youre in a 1st class carriadge
J: but were standing up?
W: were getting off at the next stop anyway
T: im sorry youre gonna have to pay
(J had noticed we were nearly @ wolves to get off)
J: look we didnt even know that we would have to pay for standing up, were getting off in a minute anyway
W: look if we want to pay for 1st class we would have sat down wouldnt we..
(train stops)
J: were getting off now anyway
T: ok I suppose ill let you off

I cant believe he wanted to charge us to stand in first class when the rest of the fucking train was full. Why have only two normal carriages and three first class when theyre all empty!

why would you wanna pay any extra for this anyway..



FUCK PUBLIC TRANSPORT!
