What utter utter ****wit dreamed up that rostering?

Obviously the guy was late for work. You clearly find it easier to
complain than to think.

How could he be late for work , he was driving the ****ing train behind!


You didn't say he was driving it.


Well he was in the cab of it.


Why do you jump to that conclusion ? You were only told he was on it, not
that he was driving it. If things were out of course already, he could
have been asked to travel to pick your train up and relieve your driver.
