Businessman told teen builder to vacate his tube seat as 'he had a better job'...

[Ammi]

A teenager who works as a builder was left speechless after being told he should give up his seat on the tube to a businessman as he "had a better job".

Jamie Loveday was travelling home from work last week when he was approached by a man on a Victoria line train when it stopped at Green Park station.

The teen, who was dressed in his workwear after a day on site at the Adelphi Building in Westminster, said the businessman was a "well-spoken smartly-dressed man" between 40 and 50.

The businessman approached the teen, and told him to vacate his seat because he was the finance manager of an upmarket hotel, according to the Evening Standard.

Loveday told the paper: "I couldn't believe what I was hearing and said "excuse me" before saying no I wasn't going to give up my seat. Everyone's faces around me dropped.

"He muttered 'this is outrageous' and stormed off down the carriage before asking the same question to a Chinese girl who moved for him.

"He probably thought because he earns more money than me he could intimidate me. I was in my dusty clothes and he was in a Calvin Klein suit."

Loveday added: "It annoyed me that he was so arrogant to think he was better than me but I find it happens in London.

so he may have a Car and Slave Driver
but Time is Money.

Feel The Force

[Kizzy]

What an arse, and he got a woman to give up her seat? Unbelievable!

[user104658]

He thinks that having money makes him superior and / or more important. Sadly, this goes on everywhere, not just in London. I see it most days.

[Mystic Mock]

I would've told him to **** off.

[Livia]

Maybe he's new to the Tube, I don't know... but he's lucky someone didn't punch him back to November, the cheeky twat.

Haha... me too. I have a few people I'd like to punch back to the Stone Age.

Hey Monkey, Merry Christmas! x

Hey Monkey, Merry Christmas! xI would actually punch myself back to the stone age:laugh:

Merry Crimbo Liv!:dance:

[joeysteele]

I would've told him to **** off.

I'd have just started talking to him about an unrelated topic:joker:, after what would have seemed an age he would have cleared off likely bored to tears.

If he is prepared to waste others time then they should totally waste his with nonsense.

You could bewilder him with your political knowledge.He would feel inferior and go and re-evaluate his life:laugh:

Honestly Livia, I often talk to my dog and regularly when I start, he looks up at me, gets up and goes off into another room.

He really is I am sure trying to tell me something,probably something like, 'for goodness sake shut up'.:joker:

[lostalex]

The least the guy could do was offer him some cash money to move! what a cheap pompous ass.

[Denver]

Where is Frank Carson when you need him

[Denver]

Honestly if he said that to me he would be sitting on the floor or even laying on the floor

You are a wonderful confidence booster Ammi.:laugh:

But not a chocolate biscuit because then he would die! And Joey would be like "Oh Mr snuffles, my story has sent you right to sleep! Mr Snuffles? M... Mr Snuffles??? NOOOO!" coz he died of chocolate poisoning coz dogs can't have chocolate.

Years later, after thousands of hours of rigorous martial arts training and when the grief of Mr Snuffles death has hardened into a fist in Joey's heart, he purchases a dog costume and takes to the London underground, seeking out arrogant businessmen and teaching them the true meaning of discomfort.

Many owe Joey their tube seats, though they know not his name... Only that of his new identity: Snuff

*cut to shot of long, empty subway tunnel. A haunting howl echoes. The shadow of a dog man flashes briefly past the screen. Cut to black. "Snuffles" : in cinemas Summer 2016*

I'm suspicious that this was being filmed for a reaction. Its the sort of thing we would later watch and laugh at on Youtube.

Two things - if logic counts for anything:

1) This 'businessman in his his CK suit is an utter idiot - because SERIOUSLY, if you were attired in a £700 CK suit, out of all the seated passengers on that train, would you try to claim the seat of a builder who was dressed in his "dust covered" working clothes? Would you elect to sit where that dirty worker had been sat in your posh city clobber?

2) This entire incident is nothing more than 'stage managed' B.S for whatever covert purpose.

Good point.I did'nt think of that.

[Livia]

I suppose it could have been a "joke". Of course, the thing with humour is, some people don't double-check that it's actually funny.

[lostalex]

Maybe cause of christmas he should have given up his seat, that would have been the christian thing to do. the chinese girl sounds very christian.

[Shaun]

He'd probably be laying on the floor if he'd said it to Livia too, but for an entirely different reason.
