...in the following circumstance?
You're on a crowded train, on your way into London, in the morning. Sitting opposite you is a woman, on the phone. She is talking to her boss. You hear her say the following: "I am on my way in to work, but I am not feeling very well. I think I might have picked up measles from my son. I am going to get off the train at Charing Cross and get the first train home again".

Make a note.
You never know when you need a good excuse, plus of course one that gives you 3 days minimum is absolute gold dust.
Suprised she actually got on the train, but perhaps has a suspicious boss and needed the sound effects. Like the style though.
Glandular fever is another good one by the way.3 -
Nothingus atallus.
Your discussionus are getting moreos weirdus by the dayus.6 -
Suggest she gets off at London Bridge instead as its nearer? Followed by a long discussion about the station rebuild, and how inconvenient it was, going to Charlton matches during this time when they ran trains through non stop...Chizz said:...in the following circumstance?

This is the sort of thread I expect to see in the close season, not when there’s still some of the season left to play2

I’d get as far away from her. Might not be measles - it could be bad aids12

She's showing classic signs of zombie infection. I'd stab her in the head just to be safe.7

You obviously don't commute much do you?
What you do is just sit there, silently hating her with every ounce of your being and wishing you didn't have to listen to her babble her shit over the phone for everybody to hear.30 -
Shoot the anti-vaxer bitch3

I wouldn't make a rash reaction to that spot.2

That would be ok then. You can’t catch bad aids twice.Swisdom said:I’d get as far away from her. Might not be measles - it could be bad aids1 -
Measles On A Train. As a film, it’s got it all.8

Advise her not to get the first train from Charing Cross as it might go down another line and make it difficult to get home4

I would ignore it, it’s none of my business!

I’d get on the phone to her boss to tell him/her the truth that just before making her call, she’d been on the phone to her hoolie mates bragging that she couldn’t wait to get the next train to Plymouth to get there early doors, get on the lash and prepare for the upcoming battles with Portsmouth, Millwall, Spurs and West Ham fans who are all visiting Plymouth on the quiet so they can have a tear up but are not interested in Charlton, who, in any event don’t have a firm.10

I'd stop listening to peoples private conversations if it made me want to share such futile information with others.2

So...
What prompted me to open this thread is that this scenario was something I heard on the radio yesterday. And I didn't think anything of it. I imagined that, if it happened to me, I would completely ignore it.
The programme then went on to discuss anti-vaxers and the increase in measles infection across the UK and, in particular, in Kent. And at that point, it dawned on me that the scenario is actually about someone with a dangerous, infectious disease, in public; but someone who has obviously not vaccinated her kids.
I think that would be a dangerous and selfish thing to do. But, as I have had the MMR jab, it wouldn't effect me personally. The question is - would anyone want to intervene and put her right? (I guess not). Or would anyone take any steps to make others safer?1
