: The station complaint book is full of ridiculous and ridiculous inscriptions that reflect the characters of the people who wrote them.
At the railway station in a special lockable desk lies a plaintive book. The key to the desk should be kept by the station supervisor, but in fact it is always open, and anyone passing through the station can write to it.
The book contains insults, drawings, declarations of love and complaints that it has nothing to do with the railway station. Many entries are full of errors.
Someone painted a funny face in the book and signed: “You are a picture, I am a portrait, you are cattle, but I am not.”
Further, a certain Yarmonkin complains about the wind:
Approaching this station and looking at the nature through the window, my hat flew off.
The clerk, Samolischev, complains about the conductor, who was rude to his quietest wife, and about the gendarme who rudely took the clerk by the shoulder.
Alexei Zudyev, a student at the gymnasium, is “indignant to the core” and is “under the fresh impression of an outrageous act.” Which one is crossed out.
The cheerful summer resident "surveyed the physiognomy of the station head and was very dissatisfied with it."
Following someone warns that Teltsovsky is a sharpie.Anonymous joyfully reports that the gendarmerie is cheating on her husband with a barman. Then follows the complaint of Deacon Duhov on the station buffet, in which there is no lean food. A little lower, they roughly answer him: "Burst what they give."
Further, a certain opener is looking for his leather cigarette case. The telegraph operator Kozmodemyansky is indignant that he is being expelled from service for drunkenness and declares everyone to be scammers. His complaint is followed by the inscription: "Beautified with virtue."
Next comes the declaration of love of a certain Katinka. After him, "Ivan the Seventh" asks not to write extraneous things in the complaint book, to which he is answered: "Although you are the seventh, you are a fool."
The complaint book is not used for its intended purpose, but thanks to this, you can learn a lot about those who looked into it at least once. Each entry, like a mirror, reflects the character of its author.
