Annoyances

摘要

While "hopscotching the world for headlines" (anyone else out there remember newscaster John Cameron Swayze, who later became known for "takes a licking, but keeps on ticking?"), I happened upon an item in the U.K. press about a man who ran afoul of the legal system for the heinous crime of putting his feet on a train seat. According to reports, the 45-year-old man pled guilty to the antisocial behavior of putting his feet on a train seat and an English court started a criminal record on him, as well as setting up a one-year conditional discharge and ordering him to pay about $100 to cover costs.
