It's just the way things are. We all know the stations have standing orders for their staff and customers regarding wearing helmets, so it's just pissing in the wind getting worked up about something you can't change. I've enough stress inducing elements in life, without looking for more confrontation.
Talking of confrontation, I was out a couple of weeks ago with my daughter, walking our new pup. We'd just left the flat, and instead of walking straight onto the road, we took the internal path to access it 50m away. The pup picked the route. I'd spotted a 20/30 something, for want of a better word, chav, looking at us for longer than people usually do. When we got onto the public pavement, he was sitting on a low wall, and as we walked past, said "it's not hard to be offended round here is it mate?" I asked, politely, what he meant. He said "you saw me, and then deliberately walked on the internal pavement to insult me" He said something else as well, and I started politely again, to say how dare you talk to me like that in front of my daughter (she was getting upset). Then I flipped and walked up to him, forcing him into the middle of the road, and said "If I ever see you around here again, I will rip your fucking head off" He fucked off pretty quickly. I didnt realise I was screaming until I saw all the people looking out of their flats. I told my daughter that "some people just need to be hit love". She told me she felt sick, and went home.
I don't handle confrontation well. It causes stress, and things like taking your lid off at a filling station, is one way to avoid it. Unless of course you're deliberately seeking confrontation, in which case, keeping your lid on is one way to get an opportunity to scream at someone
