    Yes he does still get my train. No he doesn't stare longingly at me for the entire journey. He has chosen another victim.

    Separate people. MR Smelly-c**t stinks so bad you can pretty much see the waves coming off him.

    Mr Wears-the-same-shirt-every-day probably smells but I avoid him and haven't had to endure sitting next to him just yet so cannot confirm.

    How do you know Mr Wears-the-same-shirt-every-day is wearing the same shirt from yesterday?

    i.e. I've three white shirts at home, one light blue and a grey one that I wear over the course of the week... Of course if I wear the three white ones on consecutive days it makes me look like I'm wearing the same one

    Fair point. I am sure it's the same shirt every day. It's a short sleeved checked shirt in grey (same check as the picture but much worse style and fitting shirt).

    It's a pretty specific shirt so either he is enough of a boring person to buy at least 5 of them or he is rewearing. You decide.

    No further questions your honour, the prosecution rests.
    Wears a short-sleeved shirt (not provided as uniform) to work everyday = justifiable target for vilification, mockery, sniggering, pointing, name-calling.

    I don't get the same train enough nowadays, but when I was a kid getting the train to school I got the same train with this guy I didn't know from down my road who was going to work - normal looking guy, shirt, rucksack, a little bit geeky/boring looking maybe, but I'd see him most days. He was known to me (internally) as "train boy", really showcasing my creativity there.

    Anyway, so recently it's 15+ years later and I happened to commute from the same station just once (having moved house a few times since) and there he was... same guy, same walk, rucksack on, slightly scruffy suit, same blank facial expression and everything - just older. I know he's got a life outside that walk, but him just pounding out that same routine for decades whilst everything else changes was a bit of a :neutral: moment. As a kid I vowed that I'd never be like him (completely unsubstantiated, just because I thought he was boring), but here we are - I'm probably some kid's depressing "train boy" that he doesn't want to grow up and be... but still will anyway!

    Not if said short sleeved shirts have button down lapels and you keep your blue, red, green and black pens neatly aligned in your top pocket.

    Never wear short sleeves. Roll your sleeves up instead.

    I know next to nothing about fashion but even I know that.
