Just witnessed what is - to me - a new ticket inspector tactic. Three of them got on in the free tram zone, didn't do anything for a few stops outside the free tram zone, then at a stop where a fair few people were getting off - they also got off, and used their bodies to block the exit of the tram stop, physically preventing some people who were trying to get past, to check their tickets.
I literally cannot imagine being such a dweeb that I'd settle on that as a career choice.
As far as I understand, actually being a dumbass is essential to pass the interview process to be an authorised officer; banging two sticks together, using their body to block people on ptv, and trying to put the square block in the round hole is dumbass behaviour.
I've noticed they have a type that they'll do that to.
Fucking cowards.
