Public transport troubles
Apr. 20th, 2026 07:26 am Hearing the repeated beep of a failed entry from the ticket readers at the train station has got to be one of the top ten worst things to hear, ESPECIALLY when you're the one causing it 💀. It's also especially nerve-wracking when you know the train is nearby because that means the leap card needs to be topped up ASAP and is your bank/payment processer behaving nice enough to do it quickly? Because I will say the combined stress from all the times I've had to awkwardly stand at the barrier and silently beg the leap top-up app to load quicker and for my Revolut to, please for the love of god, to have the money and accept the payment SOON would give anyone a grey hair.
