Abuse? Who? Me?

Abuse? Who? Me?

Have you seen the new posters on the tube advocating that the TFL staff do not tolerate abuse? There are so many things that upset me with these ads I barely know where to start…

1. The actual AD
It’s a picture of a blazer with a silver TFL pin on it saying “not made for thick skin” or some shit like that. When have you ever seen a member of TFL wearing a blazer with a silver pin? If I were an employed by TFL I would be quite upset that they are not representing the people actually getting the abuse on the station but some overpaid prick who don’t even use the tube to get to work. Completely out of touch and irrelevant, great way to get a message across.

2. The message
TFL does not tolerate abuse. Neither do we my dear friend! When you transport people in conditions you are not even allowed to transport pigs in anger and frustration will follow. You combine this with utterly incompetent representatives from the company exposing you to this hell hole of a transport system IT’S ABUSE!

3. Conclusion
Perhaps TFL staff wouldn’t get abuse if they weren’t so shit! Perhaps everyone would be a bit happier if the system wasn’t so shit. Perhaps no one would through a tantrum if you were given some kind of information! STOP ABUSING US AND WE WILL STOP ABUSING YOU!!

Perhaps a better idea would be to have a picture of an ordinary incompetent illiterate TFL worker with a message saying “Don’t take it out on me - blame Tim and Boris!” with some contact details on where to make complaints.
