Very well, it is finally time to question the extremes of Dutch anti-social behaviour.
In Holland people bike everywhere, and if it's too far to bike they take the train. Many people drive, but taking the train is both convenient and a ball of laughs, if you are for example coming back from a Millencolin concert and sitting next to two revolutionary, hilarious mohawked punks, or coming back from a Hives concert and your friend is throwing croissents down the aisles, but anyway, I digress...
So this train thing. Most compartments in the train are dealt up into foursome seats, that is two pairs of seats opposite eachother, very excting when you're in a group of four people.
However...not so exciting when you're in a group of four people and you realise how bloody ANTI-SOCIAL Dutch train-riders are! Honestly.
You walk into the compartment, and most people are just taking the train alone, and they all take up a four-seat (whatever u call it) all by themselves. They sit in the corner of the four seats with their bag next to them, and when you walk in with your friends they don't move around to allow you to sit with your friends. Noooo, they have to be dumbasses, and sit alone.
Why don't people sit next to strangers on the train?? Why do they have to be anti-social and sit by themselves?? I just don't get it. Sitting next to strangers on the train is so much fun!! Like when you sit next to some college guy studying to be a technician, who gets nervous whenever you talk to him. Hehe, that was hilarious.
But anyway, I'm just curious as to why it's such a big deal. Maybe people just like their privacy. Crazylazies....
