danger on the district line

“Is that gap behind you housing a hole in the floor or is there some other reason you can’t move back into it and let people onto the train?!”
Muttered by Soupy at approximately 8.46am on getting into a (not particularly packed) carriage on the eastbound District line at Victoria this morning. Although the train was rather quiet, the platform at Victoria was bustling as it usually is at such a time on a weekday morning, but the oaf in the carriage could not find it in himself to just take a couple of steps backwards to let people on.
When the above utterance didn’t work, I just shoved past. And gave a good tut.
I hate other transport users. Grumble grumble.
The “tut” will scar him worse that the muttered comment. Nobody liked to be tutted at. Over the next weeks the shame of it will grow until it consumes him in a fiery ball of unrelenting reproach. It won’t be pretty but it is what is needed.
For those of us that aren’t entirely aware of what exactly at ‘tut’ is or how exactly a ‘tut’ is done, could someone please elaborate?
I’d like to master the ‘tut’ and use it when needed in my own life.
M- Joy - I am tempted to make a recording of me tutting, just for you. x
It’ll need to be a video recording rather than just audio. The roll of the eyes and little shake of the head are vital components in a good tut and shoudln’t be left out.
Oh no no noooo, forget it! No video where you can actually *see* me… I will video the wall with me tutting.
