I once took a train journey that I thought would be a peaceful escape, you know? But then I ended up sandwiched between a family of seven who thought their kids’ karaoke rendition of “Baby Shark” was the highlight of the trip. By the end, my ears were begging for mercy, and I was pretty sure I’d developed PTSD from the whole experience. I swear I’ll never look at a train the same way again. Who ne...

I mean, it’s like a game of “will I survive this?” Do I really want to touch that door handle after witnessing the monsoon of toilet paper that just exploded all over the floor?
