Looking forward to tomorrow morning. Same carriage, same time every morning this bird is already on the train talking on the phone at the top of her voice.

Speaks the entire 40 mins. Every Monday without fail

Inside voice please.

There's always one,just got to be heard.

If it were one of those movie fantasy scenes you would scold her for her behaviour with the approval of your fellow passengers before exacting terrible revenge.

Or you could just get a different carriage to work on Mondays.

That's the plan.

I bet there is another one

Myki confusion

Checking the balance of the card via a machine at the station and it says $36.

Interesting as I figured I'd be topping up the card by the end of the week.

Touched on and touched off 40 minutes later, balance on the reader after touching off was $16.

The next day go to check the balance on the ticketing machine at the station..... and again the balance said $36.

I topped up (just in case of more skulduggery) to $85. But I still went to the counter to get a human explanation, but all they could offer was a printout that contained info on the type of card and my last week's worth of touch on/off.

The only interesting thing on that was my last trip didn't touch off properly (even though the success beep occurred and that's where I saw the balance difference). Funny thing about that was I didn't think it touched on right (as I literally did it a second after another person's touch on).
